Job Bank's figures for musicians and singers come from the 2021 census, as yearly income: $32,867 at the low end and at the median, and $74,500 at the high end. Music income for most people is a pile of small payments from gigs, teaching and royalties, and many musicians earn less than the median from music alone.
