Comments:User:Jdbethel/Billboard launches new chart as digital sales rocket

I interviewed Zack Harper via instant message and it was not longwinded. The conversation went as follows:

Jdbethel: What's your electronic music project called?

Zack Harper: Epos Flow

Jdbethel: Any meaning behind the name?

Zack Harper: It's my girlfriend's name phonetically backwards. Kind of cheesy but I think it sounds cool.

Jdbethel: That's pretty sweet. How do you feel about the digital takeover that has occurred in the music industry over the past few years?

Zack Harper: I think it is a great change, but I feel like the industry hasn't fully embraced it. It has caused a shift towards the independent artist route rather than the traditional record label model. I think people are still trying to figure out the best business model to keep the music industry a profitable one. When people finally embrace that you can't really make money selling your songs the way you used to, that's when people will start to get creative. It's already happening in small ways all over the place, I'm just waiting for the shift to find its way to the mainstream.
