Symphonic’s Sander Stijnen wrote a guest post for Hypebot talking about why too many indie artists and labels rely only on themselves, and why building teams is essential.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the music industry “killing” independence, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

The reality is, independence is not disappearing, it is being redefined. And honestly, that is a good thing. The artists and labels winning today are the ones combining independence with real infrastructure, strategy, and global execution.

But if independence isn’t shrinking, how is it actually changing?
