Your personal brand is as much about you as it is about how you treat others. At Indie Roadmap, we understand that your brand encompasses not just your work but the relationships and experiences you cultivate.
While some musicians create independently, most collaborate with various creatives and professionals, whether it's the engineer mastering tracks or the artist crafting cover art. These people significantly impact your creative vision. Focusing on details—not just in your work, but in how you present yourself—is crucial. From your producer to your colorist, all those small details matter.
Interactions with fans are equally vital. Musicians who acknowledge their fans and foster a relationship with their community are often remembered for these moments of appreciation. The people who love your music will remember these moments. Don’t hesitate to shout them out along with the collaborators who help you achieve your goals!
Growing your community involves putting yourself out there, both online and in person. There are music scenes everywhere, and showing up locally is super important. Connections can be built in a room full of fellow musicians or through meaningful engagement with posts from artists in your area. Often, these connections can be mutually beneficial. For instance, organizing a house show where you and other local artists can perform can be a great way to support each other.
It’s so important to show up to your friends’ shows, buy tickets to their events, and do everything you can to show meaningful support to artists around you, because that energy is going to come back around. Give more than you ask.
