What We Do: Music, Apparel, Events
Digital Music Distribution
Super Independent operates as a record label that distributes music on all digital platforms. We distribute both through sub-labels where artists are 100% in control, and also through our own label where we collaborate with the artist on the project. Send us the formatted music file and we'll get it distributed. You keep 100% of the revenue. Currently, this service is provided at-cost, meaning we make no money and you keep all the proceeds. You're in luck, because the current cost is $0, unless you want to add any extras like Shazam, which costs like a dollar. To get started just contact us and say "I'm interesting in releasing music."
Custom Apparel and Merchandise
Send us a formatted design file and we'll do everything else. We'll setup the product, send you mockups, and list it in the store. You just need to send people to your listing. Once one of your customers makes an order, we'll manufacture the product and ship it to the customer. Currently, we provide this service for free: we make no money and you keep all the proceeds. The setup cost is $0, and the production costs are taken out of the sale with no markup on our end. To get started just contact us and say "I'm interesting in selling stuff."
Event Production & Promotion (Southern California, Pacific Northwest)
If you've got an event you want to throw and don't know where to start, we can help. Currently, the up front cost of this is $0, but we have to charge for our time (hey, we're artists too), and the payment can be made out of the proceeds from the event. We won't do an event that we don't think can be successful.

What's in it for Super Indie?
How can we offer all this crazy stuff for the low?
The truth is this: a bunch of what we do is already provided by several other platforms. Unfortunately, it's a huge pain to do all of the research and figure out which platforms are right for you. Then you have all of the fees you have to pay, the time it takes to learn the platform, the time it takes to set everything up, and of course the time it takes to manage it. It sucks.
We know cuz we did it all ourselves. We researched, chose platforms, learned how to use them. As it turns out, it doesn't cost us much to invite others to join what we've got going on.
We also realized that even once you've finally got everything set up, there's still tons of other work that it takes to be an artist. That's where some of those future services will come in handy, and because we're not assholes we'll be able to offer them at an accessible price.
But for now, it's just our hope that Super Indie will grow - that people will vibe with our mission, buy some Super Indie stuff in the store, and maybe attend some events we'll throw.
