Why Is Getting Radio Spins So Important For Independent Artists

Get Radio Spins, It Does Matter!

When you are an independent artist  in the music world, there are not many opportunities for you to make money. You get shows and people are not willing to pay you yet, and when you get your music to the right people they are always talking about money in the back end. That is why its so important to find ways to make money as an independent artist before you actually make it to the major industry. One of the best methods for cashing in on your talent for music is to get yourself some radio spins. Once this comes into play for you, there will be many other opportunities that follow.


Of course just like every other part of being an independent artist there is a process. Signing up for publishing, getting your music mastered, and most of all finding a radio station willing to actually spin your music enough times for all of the hassle to even be worth your time. Still though this is very important for your career. When you get radio spins people begin to take you a bit more seriously, and want to look deeper into your background. Much different than hearing you on Datpiff, or Live Mixtapes where you may have your mixtape up for a free download, hearing you on the radio gives people more of a sense that you are an artists more serious about his craft.

If you are on the right radio station, then there are even better chances that the right person will be able to hear your music and possibly offer you the deal of a lifetime. One great radio station that I suggest every independent artist look into is IBFU Radio. They spin nothing but independent artists 24 hours per day and put every artist that decides to partner up into regular rotation. They are also  currently listend to in over 70 different countries.

The best thing about IBFU Radio is that they get independent artists paid royalties through all of the major publishing companies (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and Sound Exchange). To listen to the radio station LIVE right now go to ibfuradio.com or you can download the LIVE365 app on your Android, iPhone, and iPad and search for IBFU Radio in the radio station search. They are also listed in iTunes Radio on in the Hip Hop/Rap section under IBFU.
