Being independent in music is being redefined. The Neue.Indie Podcast is about figuring out what it means to become the new indie — an artist who builds a sustainable career on their own terms, with real strategy behind it.
Each episode covers the business decisions, music industry news, sync licensing opportunities, and career moves that shape what long-term independence actually looks like.
Hosted by Deraj and Frank Bentley, two full-time indie artists building in real time.
