5 Websites Every Independent Artist Needs

This week I'm highlighting 5 websites that are useful for independent artists and musicians. I did a post on this on my Instagram page a couple weeks ago so in case you missed it, here's the list. What are some of your favorite websites that you use as an artist?

*I do not have a relationship with any of these websites. This is not a sponsored email, these are genuine picks from me to you*

1.) Chartmetric - this is all about data and let me tell you folks, data is SO IMPORTANT. Chartmetric is a powerful analytics platform that tracks music data across streaming services, social media, and radio. It helps artists make informed decisions by providing insights on playlist placements, audience demographics, chart rankings, and engagement trends. Whether you're strategizing a release or tracking growth, Chartmetric gives you the numbers that matter.

2.) Bandzoogle - Bandzoogle is an all-in-one website builder designed for musicians. It offers customizable templates, direct-to-fan sales, email marketing, and commission-free merch and music sales. Whether you need a press kit, a store, or a full website, Bandzoogle makes it simple. And trust me - you need a website.

3.) Lalal.ai - For all you producers out there, Lalal.ai is an advanced AI tool that extracts vocals, instruments, and other stems from any audio file. Perfect for remixing, sampling, or karaoke, it delivers high-quality results with minimal effort. Just upload your track and get clean, separated stems in seconds.

4.) Riverside.fm - I personally use this one religiously for my podcasts. Riverside.fm is a go-to platform for high-quality remote podcast and video recording. It captures lossless audio and up to 4K video, making it perfect for interviews, music content, and professional production.

5.) Superprof - Superprof is a tutoring marketplace that connects students with expert teachers across various subjects, including music. Whether you're looking to learn an instrument, improve production skills, or teach others, Superprof makes it easy to connect with the right people. If you're looking to make a few extra bucks teaching something - or you want to hone your skills, this is a great platform that I've personally used.
