Guest post from Disctopia

Do you know that there’s a close relationship between social media and music? If there’s anywhere you need to be as an independent artist; it’s social media. All thanks to the internet, social media has become an important part of our everyday lives. While you may want to consider other mediums, none has the reach and coverage of social media.

Independent Music Influencers

With everyone now connected from their palms, and their love for music, social media has established itself as a platform for starting a music career. Of course, it’s quite difficult to break into the music industry, but with independent music influencers, you are better positioned.

According to a study, 49% of people rely on influencer’s recommendations. Music influencers often possess a huge fanbase to reach a wider audience with just a single post. Influencers attract an audience that tends to take action based on what they see online.

In this piece, we’ll be identifying indie music influencers that have the reach to shoot you into the limelight as an indie artist.

1. Baby Ariel

With her real name being Ariel Martin, Baby Ariel started on Musical.ly (Now TikTok), where she has 35.5m followers and close to 2 billion likes.

Baby Ariel launched her music and acting career with the name she built for herself through social media. Known for a lively personality, Baby Ariel has endorsement deals with Burger Kings and Sour Patch Kids.

Fun Fact: Baby Ariel was in 2017 named by Time Magazine as one of the Most Influential People on The Internet.

While you may think of Alex Rainbird and Beth Paterson as a greenhorn, they are oldies in the indie music scene. With 1.06m followers on YouTube, AlexRainBirdMusic has been in the business of discovering and showcasing indie music since 2011.
