Indie Music Academy

@indiemusicacademy Β· YouTube Β· United States

Musicians, labels, and managers come to me to grow their fanbase, Spotify streams, and earn more revenue. So who is this guy talking in every video? That's me β€”Β Ryan. If we haven't met before, it's so good to meet you! πŸ‘‹ I'm a growth advisor for independent artists. That's not all. I'm also a musician like you. I write my own music and am fortunate to be a 2x Emmy-winning music composer. I've grown my audience using musician-friendly marketing techniques and now host this YouTube channel, sharing everything I've learned along the way. My writing and educational material have been a resource to thousands of industry professionals and have been referenced in nearly 1,000 publications, including on stage at TEDx. With nearly a decade of music marketing experience, I've discovered that it all comes down to one critical truth: you are more than just a musician, you are also a brand and a business. I want to help you become the best of all three.
