When You Use the Indie Music Academy,
You Get More Streams & Fans.

 

It's that simple.

We believe that every musician deserves a chance at building the fanbase of their dreams, and navigating the music industry shouldn’t feel impossible.

But the vast majority of artists, managers, and labels struggle to find high-quality promotion services and don't know where to start if they need to learn how to promote the right way. Plus, real marketing is merit-based, which means that you need to become the type of artist worthy of attracting new fans. 

Thankfully, the Indie Music Academy can help.

Here at the IMA, we'll either set up a killer marketing campaign for your music or teach you how to do it yourself—specializing in all musical genres! From landing high-traffic Spotify playlists, to setting up powerful social media ads, we help you grow on Spotify way faster.

Have us do all the promotion for you with our professional team of marketers, or learn the skills yourself and manage your own powerful marketing campaigns after joining a program. The possibilities are endless! Are you ready to get started?

About the Indie Music Academy

Meet Ryan Waczek

If we haven't met before—hi, my name is Ryan 👋

I'm a growth advisor for independent artists.

Musicians, labels, and artist managers come to me when they want an artist to connect with more people, grow their audience and streams, and earn more revenue.

I started the Indie Music Academy to create for artists what I wish I had when I first started in music.

Now, I'm a 2x Emmy-winning composer, and my teachings have been referenced in nearly 1,000 publications, including on stage at TEDx.
