Being an independent musician, I have found it quite an obstacle to establish a loyal fan base and earn a living doing what I love. They can’t listen to us if they do not know that we exist. But how can we let them know who we are and let them know about our style of music? Indie Radio
A lot of artists these days set up a MySpace page or a website. If no one knows who you are, of course, it still does not help to have a web site or MySpace page even if these are great tools. How can potential audience reach an independent band?
Exactly what is happening to my group, listeners need to search you via a credible online radio station that I found out. We now have an exposure to a large international audience through IMRadio.com and we can communicate with our fans, making us feel in control of our music. It is very important to put your heart and soul into what you do.
IMRadio.com is very easy to use. We simply signed up for a free account, which took all of a couple of minutes, and then we began uploading the audio files.
For listeners to use IMRadio is effortless as well. In choosing the genre you would like to listen to when you visit the web site, there is a drop-down box that allows you to do so. There are many different options! You can just imagine every type of music – even some that you have probably never heard of. Some of the categories include acid jazz, acoustic, adult contemporary, alternative, Americana, country, club music, emo, dance, death metal and grunge.
You simply sign up for an account which allows you to upload some of your songs in broadcast-quality mp3 format. Radio stations can then come along and search Airplay Direct for material appropriate to their particular station. Without having to contact you and wait for you to post them a CD, they can download it instantly and get it into their playlists quickly once they have found your music.
My band and I are now enjoying the results of making ourselves available on IMRadio.com it is such a kick to know that so many people are enjoying our tunes and hearing from our new fans are things we love right now. For artists who want to get their songs into radio station with no charge whatsoever, IM Radio is the perfect tool. Indie Radio
