No label. No PR team. Just 800+ songs, 180+ YouTube uploads, and raw consistency.

NBA YoungBoy didn’t wait for the industry, he outworked it.

Indie artists: keep showing up. That’s the cheat code.

Sombr didn’t blow up overnight.
He just posted. Every day.
Now he’s at 18.6M monthly listeners on Spotify.
No gimmicks. Just consistency, connection, and showing up.

Gracie Abrams just announced a 2025 headlining tour, but here’s the real lesson for indie artists:

She writes & records while touring.

Every stop = content. Every emotion = a lyric.

Document the journey. Don’t wait for “perfect.” Create while you move.
