This page is to provide quick links for Independent Artists
who spend a lot of their time researching where to sell and promote
their Music.
It’s a research "links portal" for Students and Researchers
alike. Giving you fast access to links you may not have even heard
of and may take a long time to research, which can be of assistance
to you.
Each link has a brief description.
The number of independent artists and
Indie Labels are growing rapidly. This means the independent community
as in fact larger than the mainstream. Most artists have a lack of
resources, knowledge and money to be able to promote their music efficiently
to reach mainstream. What you see on TV and on most radio stations
are usually through labels with lots of money and they know how to
market bands and artists in the consumer industry. Promotion is in
fact the key to wide spread commercialism of music.
Money supports Promotion & Promotion is the key to success in
the Music Industry. Indie's need to spend more time researching places
to promote under limited funds. However, there are many places where
indie artists can promote if they do their homework, but this page
is to make it a bit easier for the indies.
I hope this page brings a bit of light
on Artists who are under pressure. I wish this was around for me
when I was doing my research. So I hope this is helpful for you.
Music is meant to be a PASSION. So lets
keep the passion in the music and help each other link up to services
and products which will speed up your journey into your passion.
