An Indie Artist is a musician or creator who operates independently from major record labels. They often produce, distribute, and promote their work on their own or through smaller, independent labels. This allows them greater creative control over their music and artistic direction. Indie artists typically rely on digital platforms, such as Spotify and Bandcamp, to reach their audience. They often engage directly with fans through social media and live performances, fostering a personal connection. This independent approach can lead to a diverse range of musical styles and innovative projects that may not fit into mainstream categories.
