Joe Jonas on being an artist in 2016: 'You have to adapt or die'

Heartthrob Joe Jonas has revealed that the best lesson new artists can learn is that they have to "adapt or die" because the industry and technology change so quickly that it can be hard to keep up. 

During a chat with Britain's Independent newspaper, the 'Cake By The Ocean' sensation explained that it's great to live in a generation where we have instant access to pretty much everything we could want, entertainment-wise, but it makes it tricky for bands and singers because if they don't keep on top of things they can easily fall behind:

"It’s great to live in a generation where you can listen to anything... you don’t carry round CDs or tapes anymore, and it’s encouraged to have a huge taste in music. I think it’s kind of adapt or die. We live in a world where everything’s online, whether it’s going to be stolen or bought or streamed so it’s important to be a part of it in some way."

"Obviously there’s concern and a lot I’d agree on, like with artists getting the right payment for what they put out there. But ultimately for us we just want to create music that we want to share with the world, so whatever that way is..."
