Generative AI for Social Media Content at Scale |
|
If you’re an independent musician, you’ve probably heard this advice more than once: “Post more on social media!” And sure, it’s good advice. But here’s the problem—coming up with fresh, creative ideas every single day while also writing songs, booking gigs, recording music, and, you know, living your life can feel impossible. You want to keep your fans engaged, grow your audience, and show the world your music, but there are only so many hours in the day. |

Using AI to Audit Your Online Footprint (Before It Costs You Fans) |
If you’re an independent musician in 2025, your online footprint is your career. Not your latest gig. Not your new single. Not even your merch table.
It’s how people find you, remember you, and decide whether to care about you. But here’s the problem: most indie artists are flying blind. They’re throwing songs into the void of Spotify, posting random updates on Instagram, and hoping something sticks. There’s no real strategy, no funnel, no way to see whether their marketing is actually working. |

Tokenizing Music Catalogs: A New Way to Fund Your Music Career |
|
The music industry has always been tough on independent artists. You spend hours in the studio, pouring your energy and creativity into your songs, only to find that the money side of things feels like an endless maze. Streaming platforms pay very little, royalty checks take months—or even years—to arrive, and by the time everyone in the chain has taken their cut, there’s often barely anything left for you. |

Our Cover Artist Yates McKendree |
|
Producer Kevin McKendree puts it best: “Because of Yates’s lifelong dedication to blues and roots music, he’s developed a direct line from his soul to whatever instrument he picks up. When he sings and plays, you don’t just hear it—you feel it. On these recordings, you’ll hear him on guitar, drums, bass, upright bass, and organ. Beyond all that talent, he’s my son, and the joy of my life is making music with him. The musicians on this album are also our closest friends. We hope you feel that love in every note.”

Intelligent EQ Matching and Frequency Balancing: A Secret Weapon for Indie Artists |
|
f you’ve ever recorded a song at home and then compared it to something on Spotify, you’ve probably asked yourself: Why doesn’t my track sound as big, clear, or balanced as theirs? You might have a great performance, good songwriting, and even solid mixing, but something still feels off. |
