Music producer Martynas Tyla has delivered a blunt verdict on politics, calling it a worse profession than prostitution and placing it well below pop culture.

Speaking on the podcast “Kontrastai,” Tyla argued that Lithuania also sees pop culture too narrowly, treating it mainly as entertainment. Concerts, he said, generate millions for cities and the state.

The discussion also addressed criticism of Jessica Shy’s concerts, the rise of Lithuanian music and the way local creators are replacing Russian culture. Tyla considered why Lithuania’s music industry has virtually no exports, why popular performers can pose a danger to politicians and why he considers the Lithuanian Council for Culture an institution the country does not need.
