In a candid social media post, award-winning indie artist Michael Botte shared two powerful truths: music serves as his therapy, and like every independent musician, he's driven by the fundamental desire to be heard.
In today's crowded indie music landscape, breaking through the noise has never been more challenging. How do artists maintain their passion and perseverance when the odds seem stacked against them? What innovative strategies and resources are available to help independent musicians connect with their audiences? And perhaps most importantly, how do working artists balance the demands of creating, promoting, and managing their careers while still finding time to live their lives?
Join me as I sit down with Michael Botte to explore these essential questions that every indie artist faces. From his recent chart-topping success with "Beautiful Day" to his exciting venture into sync licensing, Michael opens up about the realities of independent music-making, the power of small victories, and the determination it takes to keep pushing forward in an industry that can feel impossibly vast.
This is a conversation every independent artist—and anyone who loves supporting indie music—will want to hear.
