AI for Merch & Fan Product Design: Turning Ideas into Unique Fan Experiences |
|
Merch has always been one of the most powerful tools indie artists have. Not only does it bring in money, but it also builds identity. A shirt, a vinyl sleeve, or even a sticker isn’t just an object—it’s a way for fans to carry your music into the world. The problem for many artists has always been cost. Professional designers can be expensive, and trying to do it yourself often feels limited. |

How AI Can Build Your Music Marketing Plan in Minutes |

Luckily, AI is stepping in to give indie artists a serious advantage. |

They control the money, the exposure, and too often, the rights to your music. For decades, artists have been left fighting over scraps while corporations cash in. |

Our Cover Artist Mary Strand |
I never dreamed of being a writer as a kid. Nope. I had bigger plans—like joining the Harlem Globetrotters, skating with the Ice Follies, or becoming a U.S. Senator. While other little girls fantasized about being princesses, I wanted to be king.
Life had other ideas. I became a lawyer. And for a long time, I genuinely loved it—mergers, acquisitions, tax-free reorganizations, securities law—the kind of stuff that makes most people’s eyes glaze over lit me up. But then I discovered writing. And that lit me up even more.

|
Mixing music has always been a blend of science, art, and gut feeling.
