Ben Yacobi You can have it three ways: Indie is an ethos, indie is a sound, or indie is defined purely as being music that comes from independent labels. I believe in the first way... Indie is an ethos which is to produce music above all other concerns such as fame or wealth. Indie [...]

Melissa Endean When I first listened to this tune, I thought “Evanescence!” (Whom I love, by the way!) With vocals on par with Amy Lee, the lead vocalist was a pleasant surprise.

John Pippus on What is Indie?
John Pippus Indie means freedom. Indie means finding an audience for my work without a big cash outlay up front. Look at my Myspace plays. Over 25,000. At a music networking site called Independent Artist's Community, I routinely get 20,000 plays a month. Yes that's every month. Indie is 100 per cent technology driven. [...]

Mark Mullane of The Got to Get Got on What is Indie?
Mark Mullane The term indie is an unrepresentative term to 99% of the music listening public, but whenever I hear a band described as "indie", I think they must sound like Sebadoh, Unrest, Superchunk or Pavement. For me, it's a descriptor that has no relation to what the band's status is in terms of [...]

Vancouver’s T Mac on What is Indie?
T Mac I think 'indy' has multiple definitions, and they depend on which aspect of the music, or musician that you're referring to. On a strictly business side, I think 'indy' is a fairly accurate description of a person who is independent from any major label's support, and is free of management. Largely, these [...]

Paul from Vancouver Band Mojave on What is Indie?

Artist:
Paul - Mojave "indie" to me means DIY-or-die. free from major labels, PR consultants, and business people making decisions to make themselves more money. it's basically being independent from anyone else controlling our creativity and our music. the band has been approached by labels in the past, and we've turned the deals [...]

Melissa Endean on What is Indie?
Melissa Endean As an artist, I commonly cop this term when describing my music. But even as an “indie” artist, I have a difficult time describing what that means. I suppose I’ve come to see it as an evolving genre, filled with artists who don’t necessarily fit the conventional modes of jazz, [...]

Hailey Morgan on What is Indie?
Hailey Morgan I've always thought of the term 'indie' as being independent of a record label - artists taking their career into the their own hands. Gone are the days when A&R guys would discover some rock band in a local bar. Nowadays artists are building their own fan following, booking their own gigs, gaining [...]

Barron S on What is Indie?
Barron S I wear the meaning of indie like a tattoo, it’s a part of me. The term is complicated though, as it has become a homonym due to the changing landscape of the music industry. Is it a type of band? An affiliation? A sound? Or a mindset? It can be argued as [...]

Laura Smith on What is Indie?
Laura Smith The term Indie seems to have many meanings or purposes depending on who you are and what you read. Because of this, we all seem to have a hard time pinning it down. I use it fairly loosely, as a descriptor for such things as; DIY artists, musicians not on a [...]

Kirsten Starcher on What is Indie?
Kirsten Starcher To me "indie" and "DIY" are nearly synonymous. "Indie" implies that you're not going into the music world expecting a big record deal, or making a hit pop album, or writing music according to a formula. It's about seeing what you have to do to reach the next level, and doing it. You're [...]
