This is Heather.
She’s our Star Spotify Playlist Pitcher.

When it comes to Spotify Editorial playlisting, she hits it out of the park with a .355 average.

Not too shabby, you say? That’s well over the industry average*. With staying power**. That’s extraordinary. And she is, too.

A consummate team player, she’s landed numerous songs on Tidal and Apple Music playlists, as well.

Want her to hit your song out of park? Hit us up!

Posting on socials can be so annoying, we know... but just last week, we found a bunch of different acts we want to work with from Instagram & TikTok! This song blew up because a creator found it and used it; social media isn't always evil ❤️ So... KEEP POSTING!!!
Heather always suggests doing content days. If you're on a roll creating videos, change your outfit & hair and keep going!

Live music venues are crucial to the ecosystem of artists; places for them to hone their craft while developing an audience. They’re a place where culture is shaped, where fans discover the artists they will support forever, and to find and create community.

But venues are facing incredible challenges, financially and with shifting consumer habits. In the upcoming documentary “Vanishing Venues”, the filmmaker Meredith Marshall looks at the role of consequential venues, large, small and in-between, famous and lesser known, and how they have shaped music and our culture.

In this talk at our Salon, “The Indie Music Network Live”, Meredith spoke about the goals and vision of the documentary.

If you want to support this project, or have suggestions for venues to include in this project, you can head to www.vanishingvenues.com or email [email protected]

This might be a hot take for some of you, but HEAR US OUT: there is no way anyone can consistently make great music with such a quick turnaround time. Keep releasing singles from your upcoming project, then make live and acoustic versions of them to lengthen the life of the project, and get more fans!

Here’s a hot tip for social media: Create a “fans” account to post your music, release info, etc.

Keep your primary profile to show some of life’s moments: Your fans and followers want to get to know YOU.

That way, you won’t feel like you’re “spamming” your core followers.

Follow for more tips and hot takes and listen/watch the Indie Music Network Podcast.
