Inspiring Artist-Led Dialogues with Indie Musicians

Join us to amplify indie music voices and challenge the corporate music industry’s status quo. We’re passionate about empowering artists to share their stories and thrive independently. Let’s show the Major Labels how much they suck in trying to homogenize popular music!

Indie Artists: Let’s Thrive and Shine Together!

The Major Labels Suck podcast and related website were inspired by all the struggles incurred by so many talented musicians who are used up and spit out by the publicly owned corporate music industry. The title came from a discussion I had with my best friend Steve about how exploitative the major labels have always been. So, it made all sense in the world for me to turn the music podcast and blog that I’ve always wanted to make dedicated to my favorite indie musicians.

If you are an indie musician, or know someone who you’d like me to feature, please contact me below. It could be in an article, future podcast episode, or even livestream. Remember, unsigned or indie label artists ONLY! Also, I have a strict policy of never charging anyone for the opportunity to be on any of my shows.
