Did You Know: The Number of Independent Artists Have Grown By 417% Since 2003

A common misconception about the music industry is that; an artist is either a world-famous, arena-touring rockstar or just a commoner playing in a dive in between their normal jobs. But let's have a look at another reality.

A report by MIDiA Research suggests that independent artists have generated more than $643 million in 2018 alone, making a straight 35% jump from the year before.

Another report by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the number of independent artists has grown by 417% since 2003 and the number is expected to go off the roof, courtesy of the rise of social media.

We empower emerging artists to make music that the world needs

Quick Fact: Musicians are major contributors to a vibrant $8 billion creator marketplace. Despite the uptick in numbers of musicians on such platforms, 99% of independent artists lack access to the unique resources that are indispensable to grow their careers. That’s where BYGMusic comes into play.

We connect emerging artists and future prodigies to sponsors and have helped them generate $1.5million in sponsorship revenue. With an average campaign engagement rate of 18% (9x benchmark)and 300% YoY growth in revenue in 2020, we are now expanding our solution with a SaaS subscription that will provide the systems, tools, and revenue to support artists’ careers.


BYG started out by connecting emerging artists with sponsorship revenue.

We’ve helped our artists pocket $1.5M.

BYGMusic is revolutionizing the way artists earn money and grow their careers so that they can make the music the world needs.

Where it started

Coming from a love of music and a belief in the power of good music, BYGMusic's founder, Krish Sharma, established this company in Los Angeles, California to connect independent artists with brands and in turn bring those brands directly to fans. 99% of artists lack access to revenue, data, and technology to upscale their careers. BYGMusic was launched to bridge the gap between budding independent artists and brands and help them both flourish within the creator economy.

Bringing Good Music to Millions

Since our inception, BYGMusic has helped our artists pocket $1.5 million in revenue. Going forward, we are expanding by building the first mission-driven SaaS Solution for Musicians to access next-gen revenue and resources.

Our track record with major stakeholders will drive meaningful artist growth. Emerging artists will be drawn in by our unparalleled network of brands and music stakeholders, which has generated $3.2M in revenue to date.

Product Roadmap

With software development already in progress, BYGMusic can immediately ramp up development after securing funds.

Forward looking projections cannot be guaranteed.

We project to onboard 75,000 artists by the end of 2023, while seeding the platform with thousands of sponsorship gigs.

This is our road map to become the Largest Network of Independent Artists and Their Fans. Over time, this platform transforms into an interconnected network of music artists – and music fans. This network will further culminate into our next step in becoming the Universal Platform for Artists & Stakeholders to Connect - Where any stakeholder can easily access and leverage our network at scale – for content distribution, advertising monetization, and beyond.

Why Invest?

BYGMusic is on the cusp to bring about a major disruption in the music industry with a never-before platform that will not only empower independent artists but will also help brands get the visibility they desire among their audience. We will be the first to market to capitalize on this white space.
