Indie Music Center is a music platform built on 24 years of experience, over 2,200 published features, almost 100 podcast episodes, and hundreds of artists supported, interviewed, and coached.

Our mission? We aim to help you discover amazing independent musicians who deserve to be heard. While quick, disposable content has taken over the internet, Indie Music Center is moving in the opposite direction. We don't use AI to write our content. Every article here is written thoughtfully, personally, and authentically by real people with 2 hands and 1 brain. And guess what? To keep things exciting, we're even doing this in a language that's not our own! It shows how deeply we care about indie music.

We don't care how many followers you have. We care about the song, and especially the story behind it. On IMC, we intentionally don't display the views an article got, because it doesn't have to be a competition. We don't want to play the comparison game, you can already play it on Instagram and social media in general. We are now offering coaching services for musicians who want to disconnect, slow down and take the time to think a bit about their real goals. 

Nowadays, indie music often gets lost in background 2-hour compilations on YouTube or 10-sec viral videos. But we believe music is meant to be explored, appreciated, and truly felt: not skipped after three seconds because the intro wasn't catchy enough.

Over the years, hundreds of artists have sent us their CDs (not for promotional reasons, but because we've built genuine human connections). We even have a dedicated room to store them, because music isn't just disposable data. To us, it's something meaningful, lasting, and personal.

We also understand the challenges independent artists face today. Streaming platforms often prioritize quantity over quality, pushing indie musicians to the margins. But Indie Music Center refuses to play that game. We're here to create a space where musicians and fans connect on a deeper level, away from algorithms and fake playlists. Our playlists are real. This is why they grow slow. Our main one is actually being promoted, slowly but surely, to avoid the algorithm thinking we're hacking the game.

If you miss the days when music discovery involved walking into a record store and talking to someone who genuinely cared, welcome home. Indie Music Center is your digital version of that record store: human-curated, authentic, and passionate.

Sorry, you will not find a "For You" page full of algorithm-generated junk. You’ll find carefully chosen indie gems, handpicked for people who actually love music. And tips like how to really support indie musicians.

Now go find something worth listening to if you're a music fan!

Or go submit your music, if you're a talented musician! We only accept music submissions via SubmitHub (we offer you a 10% coupon if you need to buy credits), and we immediately reinvest the money into ads to grow our playlists. Actually, we are promoting our main playlist, New Indie Music.

Anyway, welcome! This place will always stay authentic.
