A world of independent voices.
Independent is an English-language international magazine about independent music, across genres and borders.
Our focus
We are interested in the songs, people, and creative decisions behind independent music. Our scope includes pop, rock, electronic music, hip-hop, folk, and sounds that resist a single category.
Our starting point
The opening edition introduces our editorial perspective through original essays about listening, creative independence, and sharing music. Artist profiles, reported scene features, reviews, and interviews will develop from verified sources and actual conversations.
An open-minded magazine
We want discovery to feel welcoming. You do not need industry knowledge to enjoy a song, and an artist does not need a familiar accent or a fashionable genre to deserve attention.
