    S4, EP 5 - Announcing our brand new bootcamp video course for Independent Artists

    Well we've hinted at it all season and today we finally announce what we've been working on last year - our brand new bootcamp video course for Independent Artists!  Back in 2019 we were doing in-person workshops for Independent artists which we took online during lockdown.  It worked so well that we decided to film a video course that can be available to Independent Artists everywhere to work through in their own time and at their own pace.  The course is in 4 parts covering everything from knowing your 'why' as an artist, music admin, gigging, social media, preparing for a release, writing a press release, creating your 12-18 month plan and much more.  You'll also find a helpful FAQ section at the end of each part.  Have a listen to this episode and we'll tell you more about it. We've worked hard on this course and we really hope it is useful to the many artist who get in touch with us with questions about the independent artist journey and how to get started. We always want to make sure that our resources are accessible and affordable so until the end of January 2022 the course is available with a 50% discount.  The course launches this Friday 14th January 2022 all you need to do is sign up via our website and use the code: IAMSALE You can get in touch with us on Instagram or Facebook or send us a voice message.

    S4, EP 3 - Des Agyekumhene on NFTs & Crypto in the music industry

    You have probably heard the terms 'Crypto' and 'NFT' thrown around over the last year or so but perhaps you've not fully grasped the scope of possibility in terms of artists and the music industry. It can seem complicated so we're particularly excited to bring you this truly illuminating chat with Des who is something of an expert on the subject.  Des is also an artist manager and is currently studying for a PHD on the topic of music streaming.  He's extremely knowledgable but also is great at explaining the Crypto and NFT phenomena and how it can benefit artists in particular. It's not too late to get involved and this chat might just be the thing to get you started!

    We're back with a brand new season of the I Am Independent podcast!  Kicking off season 4 we talk to the brilliant and lovely Nick Eziefula who is a partner at Simkins LLP, one of the UK's leading media and entertainment law firms. Nick is passionate about music and is an artist himself as well as an artist manager.  Nick gives us insights on what to look for in a music lawyer, what he wished independent artist knew about the industry and explains why he thinks it's a better time to be an independent artist right now than any other time. We rarely get the opportunity to hear this kind of advice from a lawyer so candidly so this should prove a really valuable and useful chat.

    S3, EP20 - Producing an album with Bianca Rose and Jake Isaac

    For our season 3 finale we have a conversation between Bianca Rose and Jake Isaac about the process of Jake producing Bianca's latest album, 'If You Knew, Would You Care?'  It holds some great insight from both artist and producer perspective and as the relationship worked so well for this project we thought perhaps there is some useful tips for you as independent artists within this conversation.   We are now taking a short break while we put all our efforts into finishing off something very exciting that we have been working on for some time and we hope to let you in on that early Autumn time.  In the meantime, keep on keeping on.  We see you independent artists, we appreciate you, we champion you and we're here for you. Follow Jake Isaac on Instagram @iamjakeisaac Follow Bianca Rose on Instagram @itsthatbiancarose Let us know your experiences on our Instagram or Facebook pages or send us a voice message.
