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.

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.

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.
