S.O.S: The Future of Music Distribution, What do You Think?

The purpose of this article is to see what the independent artist is thinking about in terms of their future in this changing music industry. Independent music is on the rise with digital downloads increasing, but how can we as independents make our mark in history?

This goes out to all the producers, beat makers, songwriters, musicians, and podcasters. What are the strategies or tips you use when thinking about music distribution? Hip Hop Distribution was not created to tell you what you have to do, but to hear from people involved in the music grind and learn from our experiences, creating a resource center.

It is very easy to get your music with a major online retailer. The key to earning a living as a musician is diversifying your options. From a Fried Roots standpoint, we are in the process of selling merchandise and we have distribution through Songcast and Tunecore , but we feel that music from an independents standpoint is getting stronger, so how can we capitalize?

The whole point of this is to solidify the strength of the independent artist who works just as hard as every working man, but doesn’t reap the benefits.
