That said, being an indie artist, band, or otherwise gives you artistic freedoms that you may or may not get with a major label and its marketing machine. I’ll explain it from my own experience in the music biz, which may resonate with your story or be completely different. Like most indie artists—though not all—at one point early in your career, you were probably chasing that...]]></description><link>https://www.grahambrownsongs.com/post/being-an-indie-artist-is-it-a-love-of-music</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68630a2c3b70d6e1975a70b5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2025 22:26:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f34cdd_1ed69b2e5ad74dae8193d48f69643ab2~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>grahamsongs</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Songwriter Infection: Inside The Beautiful Dilemma &#38; Opening The Vault ]]></title><description><![CDATA[It has only been about a year since the last release, Outside Within, was revealed to the world. But I seem to have this songwriter’s infection that won’t go away. It’s been haunting me for most of my life. The symptoms are obvious and simple: if I’m in a room alone with a nice piece of quality paper, a quality pen, and an acoustic guitar within reach… well, that’s it. The songwriting process takes over and goes into a fever pitch. I can’t think about doing anything else or even want to do...]]></description><link>https://www.grahambrownsongs.com/post/the-songwriter-infection-inside-the-beautiful-dilemma-opening-the-vault</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0ceb4cb2731dece74e7ae2</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 03:18:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://youtube.com/shorts/HJFqEJwf-po?feature=share" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>grahamsongs</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA["MAKING AN INDIE VIDEO – What it takes..."]]></title><description><![CDATA[Well, the title says it all—or does it? Let me share some insights from my experiences in this field. What does it take to create a decent indie video to promote your album or single? It requires a team of dedicated, talented people. Some might handle it all on their own, but I certainly can't. First, decide which song to feature—the one that feels like a strong single. (Judge for yourself by checking the full band and solo videos on my website: www.grahambrownsongs.com.)
