to the original artists and what percent go 
to Big Music companies?..." 

From: http://soundexchange.com/artist_home.html#artist



"Artist Share of Royalties
Artists receive 50% of royalties earned for each performance. The featured
artist receives 45% of the total artist share. The nonfeatured artists are
the players that perform auxiliary functions on a recording, and through
their unions, receive a 5% compulsory rate established by law. The SRCO, who
may or may not be the actual label, receives the other 50%. SoundExchange
pays these shares out directly to the featured artists, labels, and unions
(AFTRA and AFM). If you are a nonfeatured musician or a nonfeatured
vocalist, and would like to inquire about any royalties that may be due you,
please contact the AFM and AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution
Fund at www.raroyalties.org."
