The steady growth of the DIY and independent side of the recorded music market, with indies having accounted for a groundbreaking 50% of the total revenue generated in 2023 on Spotify, calls for a discussion of what models and services are available to this group of artists.

This presentation will focus on the emergence of alternative models for independent and DIY artists, who have a diverse range of ideas about what success looks like. Led by Kevin Lazaroff of global digital distributor and artist services company Amuse, the session will offer detailed insights into how new models can productively respond to independent artists’ evolving needs amidst shifts in listener and music consumption trends.
