2010 is one even-year key; Musician is one employer/occupation key. Together they yield $230,683 from 231 itemized contributions and 44 donors. FEC.gov is the underlying filing system. $8,611,076 is the denominator for the 2.7% share, not revenue and not a political program.
Key figures
- Musician × 2010 is $230,683 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 231 contributions from 44 donors.
- 2010 is about 2.7% of the grouping’s $8,611,076 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text (MUSICIAN), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Stored string MUSICIAN crossed with 2010
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Musician (MUSICIAN) and 2010 — sum to $230,683. 231 itemized contributions and 44 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the Musician hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. MUSICIAN is an occupation grouping. SINGER, ARTIST, COMPOSER, and RECORDING ARTIST are other keys. Forty-four unique donors produced 231 itemized lines — repeat gifts raise the line count. The packet does not name those musicians. Do not treat the cell as a union dues figure. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $230,683. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.
$230,683 inside a $8.6 million book
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,611,076 ($8.6 million). The 2010 slice of $230,683 is about 2.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.3% ($8,380,393). Treating 2010 as the Musician FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $8,611,076 as the denominator for the 2.7% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $8,611,076.

- FEC.gov aggregates show $230,683 in itemized individual contributions for the Musician grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 231 contributions and 44 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,611,076 all-cycle figure. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

- Is $230,683 an official Musician organization gift?

It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 231 contributions came from 44 donors. Do not invent those names from the grouping label.
- Where are other FEC two-dimension pages?
- Open Musician 2010 for the cycle overlay, Musician for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
