    Its pretty retarded you can make money when these people who "made" these viral songs are using cracked DAW programs and torented plug-ins and don't even know how to make music, this "banger remix" was made with sample packs ripped straight from freshstuff4u. Ru and at no point did this guy incorporate any of his own sounds which is why it's a generic sounding 2015 future house track.

    Most artists earn 1-5 cents per Spotify stream. He may have earned less being an unknown. Bigger artists get more. It's still a lot of money if we are talking 1 billion streams. Even if he earned 1c per stream that's .1 x 1 billion which is 100,000,00. 5% of that is 5,000,000. So instant millionaire off one song.

    It's not really the grammy's fault. The grammys are in charge of paying a celebrity to announce the candidates for the award and then announcing the winner. Now they should probably make sure that the moron celebrity that they hired knows how to read but they may just assume that they can and maybe that assumption is their fault But I'm not really putting this on the grammys.

Лично я прослушал трек лишь после вручения премии и ничего сверхъестественного для себя не открыл. Возможно, мог натыкаться на его отрывки. но что-то не припоминаю. Короче говоря, данная история произвела на меня очень положительное впечатление, даже если сам трек особо не заинтересовал. Желаю Иманбеку дальнейших успехов и чтобы его хобби переросло в серьёзное дело!

    To say that Imanbek lives in Kazakhstan and speaks Russian does not mean that he does not know Kazakh. This is because Kazakhstan is a multicultural country, and many Russians, Germans, Koreans and other non-Turkish-speaking peoples live in it. Russian Russian is used as a language of interethnic communication, and more and more people speak Russian. So Imanbek speaks Russian in a way that most people can understand.

    If he had made all of the money from those 1 billion streams, he would've made approximately *$4M* He said he didn't even make half a quarter of that... A quarter of *$4M* would be *$1M* Half of that would be *$500k* He most likely made anywhere between *$100k and $300k* Either way, regardless of how much money he made, his story is extremely inspiring and heartwarming...

    Imanbeck is the smart kit Morgenstern should hire to remix all his music and make it good. What a nice story. His remix of "Roses" deserves a grammy. The original song isn't bad, it's just very different from the remix. I'm guessing that he made his remix with less than a couple thousand dollars worth of software and Equipment. This is a happy story from social media.

    Omg. That is gold. Defo he deserved it. I have been following him since December 2019 when I heard the song in Lithuania. I loved it! But the song was like in its premature stage where noone was listening to it in UK nor US. So whenever I played it to my friends they were like woah - I told everyone that Imanbek had humble beginnings and at that time he still was working at the rail road... So then as I was driving in UK in February I heard that the radio presenters were always calling the song Roses by SAINt JHN and NOT MENTIONING Imanbek at all, like got me furious as he wasn't getting enough credit for the work that he did (even on the interview on 'Capital FM' this big SAINt JHN didn't really mention Imanbek). But then a couple months later, he got credit! And now to see him getting the grammy brings a tear to my eye!
