I want to talk with you about what it means to be an independent musician today.

For many, being “indie” represents confusion and overwhelm. You might not know what you can do to make your dreams in music happen.

You might feel lost and looking for someone to help you, like a label or manager - to guide you through this confusing industry. You might feel like there’s no one in your corner.

Now let me give you a different perspective…

Musicians today can't afford to wait around to get discovered. Because you really don’t need permission for success. You just need to start making it happen for yourself.

Today’s indie musicians set their own path and find opportunities that work for and excite them instead of chasing outdated career paths or waiting for someone to "pick" them.

Today's indie musicians tap into multiple revenue streams and build businesses around their music.

And today’s indie musician connects directly with an audience that loves and supports their music.

THIS is the “new model” for success in music.
