Indie Music Center is a professional editorial platform created by Niko Pearson, who has been working with independent musicians for more than 25 years. It is not a music blog and not a playlist network. It operates as an independent editorial service.

IMC is read daily by professionals from radio, television, music press, film and series production, including people working with major streaming platforms and cinema. Many of them actively look for new music to broadcast, license, or integrate into creative projects. As a result, several artists featured on IMC regularly receive collaboration offers, and some have seen their projects grow significantly after being highlighted on the platform.

Niko started in 2001 with FM radio shows, online radios, podcasts, magazines, and independent media projects. Since then, he has listened to, reviewed, and followed thousands of releases, from unknown artists to projects that later reached wide audiences.

Indie Music Center, in its current form, was founded in 2017. Niko has been joined by Alex, Jurka, Carolina, Luna, Joe, Anna, and Emmy. We receive new music every day, listen carefully, and only share what we genuinely support. We run Indie Music Center as an independent editorial service. We write articles, reviews, and features directly for artists and labels. Each text is written manually, without templates or automation. We don't use AI here, as we've always put humans in the CENTER.

Every collaboration project starts with a real discussion with the artist, or the PR / manager / label. We take time to understand the context, intentions, and positioning of each release before working on it. We do not promise likes, followers, numbers or guaranteed exposure. We focus on serious projects and long-term credibility.

Indie Music Center is an independent structure built through years of daily listening, constant exchanges with artists, and long-term relationships with media professionals. We take artists seriously, respect listeners, and present music honestly.

For playlist placements, musicians can share their work with us through Submithub, where we offer a 10% coupon to buy credits, and where we reinvest everything into promoting our flagship playlist, New Indie Music. It's also possible to target us if you run a campaign on PlaylistPush.

And for written features, you can use our contact page or DM us on Instagram.

We do not feature:

Songs made with Suno or any AI system. Christmas songs. Demos or live versions. Songs with explicit lyrics. Auto tune or any vocal effects.

Country, americana, christian music, rap, metal, yelling, or spoken word. Tracks focused on religion, violence, politics, hot topics, or war. Covers or instrumentals. And we are not fans of harmonica, to be honest.

But we welcome:

Folk, pop and rock music. Finished and well produced songs. Emotional songs. Goosebumps. Honest lyrics. Organic sounds. Songs that say something and leave a mark.

Anything heartfelt is welcome! As long as it's made with heart and love!
