Sheila E. on music streaming services: "It's like stealing"

Larry King NowJul 25 '16

Famed musician Sheila E. is not shy about her disdain for the rise of music streaming venues like Spotify and Apple Music, telling Larry she feels artists' work is being stolen by the consumer via these services.


Larry King: The music industry turned on it’s head in recent years, what do you make of the rise of streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL?

Sheila E.: Basically, it’s like paying nine dollars and 99 cents for a gazillion songs, we get nothing. So, to me it’s kind of like stealing. I don’t like it, I don’t appreciate it. Again, it’s helping collapse this industry. You know, I don’t know any other industry that just gives away. You know, only if we would like to. It’s like going to you, hey Larry can I borrow your car for a minute, give me the keys and I never come back with it. It’s the same thing.
