In the ever-shifting landscape of the indie music scene independent artists continue to forge their own paths. What these artists lack in the resources and connections that come with being signed to a major record label, they more than make up for in hard work, community spirit and sheer creativity.
As many independent artists will tell you, there are advantages to remaining unsigned. Without the constant pressure to sell records and earn enough to cover an advance, these artists are free to explore and develop their own unique voices. These artists are pushing the boundaries of what indie music can be and creating their own sonic worlds.
And don’t think that because these artists are unsigned, the production quality or talent is lacking. Some of today’s best new indie music is being made, not in professional studios, but in bedrooms and home studios. It is often being made alongside working a full time job and raising a family. Some of the most talented musicians in the world practice their art in the few hours they manage to carve out on the weekend.
