Hypebot Joins 5 Bloggers Advising Indie Artist X

Indie artist x logo I've joined 5 music industry bloggers and consultants led by KnowTheMusicBiz.com's David Rose in offering free advice to an aspiring indie artist that we'll only identifyi Indie Artist X as launches a d.i.y. release and tour. Our constantly evolving plan can be viewed at any time here.

Why all the secrecy? This is in part an experiment to see if our collective daily pontifications have any real impact and we don't want who we are to influence (positively or negatively) how others in the industry treat the artist.

Indie Artist X is a talented, hard working musician who has had 2 previous records released by a very small indie label. This record is being released 100% d.i.y. and he does not have a booking agent or manager. He does have a day job and a wifebut his goal is to make music his full time career. We'll share his identy once the project ends at the end of October.

Each advisor is responsible for an an area of the artist's career:

  1. This is shaping up to be a very important blind study to analyise the effects of everything we are all talking about. I’ll be watching this very closely with eager eyes.

  2. This is a great concept and study. I’ll be sure to follow the progress. The only question I have is who is assisting with music licensing? Is the artist working to secure placements in Film / TV etc or is someone on the adviser panel working that angle?
    Best of luck with this. Fingers crossed that the data returns a winning strategy that all indie artists can implement.
    Cheers
