Understanding Financial Success for Independent Artists

In this Producer Points Roundtable, Justin is joined by artists and producers Unlike Pluto, Kat Kennedy, and Nate Flaks for an unfiltered conversation on what’s actually working for self-releasing music in 2025.

From building an audience without a label to making real money as an indie artist, they break down the strategies, tools, and realities behind releasing music on your own terms.

🧠 Topics Covered:
• Why artists are choosing independence now more than ever
• How to grow a fanbase without going viral
• What pre-release strategies matter (and what’s outdated)
• The truth about playlists in 2025
• Getting paid without a budget: splits, back-end deals, and tools
• When to stay independent—and when to sign

Whether you're a DIY artist, a producer supporting independent acts, or just curious about the modern music economy, this one’s for you.
