Welcome to the beginning of a three part series which aims to explore the benefits and challenges of being an independent artist. Future posts will address the challenges and offer some advice to other aspiring artists, however in this post, I’ve asked some of my favorite artists about the positive aspects to being independent, and what they feel the benefits and advantages are.
What are the advantages and benefits of being an independent musician?

The freedom. When I get an idea for a song there’s nothing stopping me from running with it. If I focus on it, I can have it done in a week, write a treatment for a video, or do nothing.
Having 100% creative control and freedom is a very powerful (and sometimes scary) thing.
