DIY Independent Artist Series<\/p><\/div>\n

There\u2019s too much back and forth about who\u2019s finding success and why in the DIY independent artist scene, so we\u2019ve decided to go out and do some deep investigative research to pull all the info i can together, and focus on deep patterns and strategies across several facets of how successful DIY\u2019ers have put their career together, what they\u2019re doing, how they manage it, and hopefully uncover what some of the underlying reasons why it\u2019s all working for them, are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Purpose = Going beyond \u201csurface level\u201d exploration, research, and interviews, on the successful indie artists and bands that are thriving today. Cluster and define correlations and key strategies that are common and prevalent, as well as highlight the business models that are working today. Get candid and get to the \u201ccore\u201d of what actually is THE THING that is making some people succesful today and why as Independent artists in the new music business\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Theres a lot of doom and gloom out there\u2026 There are a lot of skeptics, naysayers, and doubting thomases out there that perpetuate a vibe of hopelessness in regards to the DIY movement\u2026 This is not only unhealthy but destructive, and it ain\u2019t where or what we should be focusing on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My aim is to get to the CORE stuff. Get past the pleasantries, and really try to get to the heart of what is working for those that have been successful, to identify the patterns, and try to put together the correlations so that we can all try to learn these things, and do it in a modern way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you think? Is this is a good idea? Is this project something you\u2019re interested in hearing more about?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I need you to let me know of any succesful indie artists you know of who should be included, and\/or you\u2019d like to learn about\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have been compiling all the names of succesful Independent Artists\/Bands and stories from the DIY\/Indie industry innovators like Ariel Hyatt, Bob Baker, Derek Sivers, Viny Ribas, and have been polling and surveying groups and my online audiences.
