You mean he’s hardly whitelisted, he had to hide using alternative nicknames until very recently. Compare where he was before the kesha fiasco to where he is now. Entire careers were built on his productions, including Kesha’s. They guy’s career is nowhere what it used to be, and he was absent for years because he couldn’t work with anyone. |
If anything the artists who used him as producer were the ones who fell. The only artists he really built from my memory are Kesha and Katy Perry and neither can exactly exactly described as successful anymore, Katy Perry is millionaire so nothing to really be concerned, but overall the singers who used to collaborate with Dr. Luke are more likely to be hurt by association than the guy himself
That's because performers are famous and, unlike producers, they are the ones who need to keep some image and the image women is supposed to display is to support other women, even if this is costing them potential hits.
But him... he's doing alright. Him using nicknames was at best troublesome, but it's not like he was being blocked to work, and he still issued hits under his nicknames. As long he keep releasing hits no label will really block him. I realized he's really missing household names in their production list as is working more with new singers, rapers and less famous artists, but the key point is as long his songs still making a splash the money is all the same.
