Empowering Musicians to Build Sustainable Careers Without the Help of a Record Label.
We're glad you joined our community! We are a DIY community for independent artists. There are lots of resources available to learn an instrument, but there are fewer resources available for artists to hone their business skills. That's why we mainly focus on the business behind being a musician. We offer free resources that can help artists make their music profitable. We also offer a number of courses, books, and programs to help artists advance their careers.
