There’s a sad truth for all indie listeners – there’s only a small, if not, near non-existent fandom for the music we listen to.

You’ve probably already heard of the term ‘indie’, but let’s revisit it:

Indie artists are predominantly independent labels; they’re groups of talented people trying to get their music out into the world, hoping that it reaches the ears of listeners across the globe. Although, the outreach is often limited, with the indie genre eventually being coined as ‘niche’. 

Beneath all the music lies layers and layers of edited orchestra or soundtracks, coupled with heavily revised lyrics; indie artists probably work just as hard as the global favourites, yet their efforts are often met with little returns.
