Jackson Savage, stage name Worth, is a producer from Salt Lake City, Utah.  He specializes in Hip Hop and has been making beats for four years.







1. How long have you been making music?

1st grade i started playing guitar, but making beats 4 years ago.

2. Do you find it easier to get your music out there with the introduction of the Internet? Do you think it’s more successful to post your music free on the Internet or to try to sign with a record label?

Yes, and no its easy to get it out there but also very easy for it to not get noticed because the internet has so much music already on it so you have to be creative.
Hahaha, Depends really, but i would say free on the internet, labels now a days make deals that are impossible to fulfill and most artist end up getting cheated and in debt after signing to a label. More often then not signing to a label is like getting a giant loan. Depends what your trying to do really.

3. How do you feel about illegal downloading?

Umm, i can understand why some artists are pissed but in reality its hurting the industry alot more then actual artists because most artists are signed to labels which own all the rights to there songs most artists barely make pennies off selling cds anyways so for independent artists it kind of sucks but all in all it gets people listening to your music and there are tons of other ways to compensating for not making money on cds sells like merch touring etc

4. How do you feel about giving out free music?

myself am down for it i just want people to listen to my music and enjoy it..

5. Do you think sharing music is wrong? (hulkshare, mediafire, zippy)

I am all for it the more people listening to my music the better

6. What websites do you use?

Any where really! Myspace reverb nation, sound cloud, facebook, bandcamp, c baby

7. Do you think it’s easier now or ten years ago to make it in the music business?

easier for artists to get there music out there over saturation of music .. its easier for artists to be independent and not have to sign to a label i just think it changed the game yo
