Hey there! Welcome to Indie Music Center! I'm Niko, the founder! First, you need to know that English is not even my main language.
And yet, I manage to release a monthly PDF magazine of 60-90 pages... in English. What does that mean? In just 3 words: follow your dreams!
Everything started in 2001 when I started promoting indie musicians on an FM local radio station.
Do you remember when you were a bit younger and went to a record store, asking the guy for advice about a new release? Good news! IMC is that store, and I'm that guy. Now, the music is free, thanks to the magic of the streaming world, and unfortunately that dream job has disappeared. Oops.
I wanted to apply but all the......

What is the IMC Family?
The IMC Family is a supportive community of artists who have been featured more than 5 times on Indie Music Center. It means that we really trust them for the quality of their work. And so you can trust them as well.
As an artist and a member of the IMC Family, you'll gain access to a private Instagram group chat where you can connect with fellow artists.
We organize regular Zoom calls exclusively for IMC Family artists. These calls are an opportunity to connect face-to-face, share experiences, discuss music industry trends, and strengthen the bonds within our community.
We cherish these artists and their incredible music, and we're thrilled to offer them a......

What our musicians have to say
Welcome to IMC! I'm Niko, nice to meet you! With over 2 decades of radio experience, including local and national FM stations, and more radio stations than I can count on one hand, I've been promoting indie artists since 2001.
I've written over 1700 music reviews, reviewing tunes with precision, and healing souls with melodies. My career has been a mixtape of passion.
Yes, I can say I'm passionate about music. As I write at the end of every magazine issue: music is my blood type. I've collaborated with musicians and artists from around the globe. This community couldn't even fit in a stadium.
Hear what these extraordinary musicians have to say about their......
What people said about us...
"Yay, IMC has great music to enjoy ... at the office, of course, LOL. It's hard to be stressed with these melodies in the background! I hope all of you, reading this, have an amazing day and week and month - You deserve to be happy!"

"I just stumbled upon this site, and emotions started early. There is a cleansing feeling after tears fall that you can't replace. My soul screams out for serenity! I close my eyes and imagine seeing my beautiful daughter turning to me smiling with ice-covered mountain caps in her background, and her eyes lighting up my heart. I am feeling very inspired to make some healthy lifestyle......
/!\ I strongly recommend doing it from a computer. Submissions from a phone don't work, and I don't know why.
Thank you so much for submitting your music! It means a lot to me. I'm excited to work with you! But before you do, I highly recommend reading our FAQ. It contains important information that will help you and save you time.
From now on, I'm taking submissions for Issue 4 of "Niko's Music Magazine" (out February 5, 2025). Starting from January 23, all submitted and approved songs will only be featured in Issue 5 (out March 5, 2025). If you want to see what the magazine looks like, have a look!
I kindly ask that submissions be made by the artists themselves, not by labels,......
If you're a musician and need help with promoting your music to blogs, I'm here to help! I've been promoting indie musicians like you since 2001, and if you want to seduce bloggers and outlets, I know exactly what they're expecting from you! And above all, what they don't want to see...
Since I launched this new service in October 2024, I've helped a lot of musicians who were lost and didn't know where to start. If you feel like you need help, feel free to book a slot below (same as magazine sales: money is re-invested in promotion, so it benefits artists only).
