I'm a struggling musician and I'm wondering how I can cover popular songs without having to pay royalties or even acknowledging that I'm covering popular songs.

There are a few ways you can go about covering popular songs without paying royalties. The most obvious way is to re-work the song in a way where very little of the original music is present. You could use different instruments or a completely different arrangement, therefore creating something that is no longer identifiable as the original song. You could also do a more stripped down version of the song or a cover that re-imagines the song with a different genre. Finally, if you're looking for something a bit more legal, there are online libraries with copyright-free music you could use, or you can try contacting the artists directly for permission. Good luck with your music!
