Attention Indie Artists! In today’s industry, getting the attention of gatekeepers requires having the right branding, a compelling story, and strategic positioning. There are do’s and don’ts when it comes to pitching yourself and we're going to help you cut through that noise.

We are thrilled to partner with Artstart for an immersive panel and workshop designed to equip emerging artists with the foundational tools to navigate the music industry. This session will dive into brand-building, bio-writing, EPK creation, and pitching strategies - essential skills for artists looking to establish themselves.

Following the panel, participants will break out into a hands-on workshop, where they’ll craft their own EPKs and set up monetization platforms. To make sure artists leave with tangible next steps, attendees will also receive a curated folder of industry templates, contacts, and resources to support their creative journey.

This year, 60% of the artists performing at Coachella are independent, with two of the main headliners being legacy acts.

Independence isn’t just the future—it’s the reality of today. When it comes to active artists and fresh music, major labels take a backseat. The only area where they truly lead is in catalog dominance.

If this concept needs breaking down for you, it might be time to catch up!

Zero lies detected here with NYU Music Business grad student @notmikivy. We asked Mik how he’d budget $500 as an indie and his answer might surprise you! What better authority than a hard-working indie artist themselves to weigh in on this topic! Take notes 📝 Mik Ivy is a 21-year-old Swiss singer-songwriter based in New York, blending indie pop, alternative rock, and diverse influences like Arctic Monkeys and Tyler, the Creator to create dynamic, emotionally charged music. His sound ranges from anthemic sing-alongs to raw, heavy emotional tracks, reflecting the struggles and passions of youth with a message of recovery, hope, and self-acceptance.
