HELPING INDEPENDENT ARTISTS GROW OUTSIDE OF THE MAJOR LABEL SYSTEM SINCE 2018
The music industry has undergone a seismic shift in the last decade, fundamentally changing how artists create, distribute, and monetize their music. The traditional gatekeepers, major record labels, and radio stations no longer control an artist’s path to success. Today’s digital landscape has democratized music distribution and promotion, creating unprecedented opportunities for independent artists to build sustainable careers on their own terms.
The New Music Economy
What seemed impossible a decade ago is now reality: independent artists can record professionally, reach global audiences, and generate revenue without traditional label support. Streaming platforms have largely replaced physical sales, Instagram and Tiktok have become the new media, and direct-to-fan relationships have become more valuable than press coverage. But with this accessibility comes new challenges. Today’s independent artists must navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape, master multiple platforms, and maintain a constant content presence while also finding time to compose and perform.
Why Local Rhythm Music Group Exists
Less than 1% of artists are signed to a major record label. We created Local Rhythm Music to assist the other 99%. The tools available to independent artists today make label support far less important than it was even 10 years ago. While traditional label deals often come with unfavorable financial terms and creative restrictions, we believe in providing support that preserves your independence and artistic vision.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior just starting out or a seasoned performer looking to expand your reach, we tailor our services to match your specific goals. You might have incredible songs that need professional recording, a finished album waiting for strategic release, or simply need help building your digital presence from the ground up. Our role is simple: we handle the business side so you can focus on your art. Need help with streaming platform setup? We’ve got you. Looking to build an EPK and professional website? We’ll make it happen. Want to ensure you’re collecting all your royalties? We’ll track every penny. From band photos to social media content, digital ad campaigns to E-commerce, we provide the services you need, when you need them.
Today’s musicians are expected to wear many hats: content creator, marketer, accountant, merchandise manager, and social media expert. It’s an overwhelming list of responsibilities that can pull artists away from what matters most, creating art. You don’t have to navigate the modern music industry alone. Let us help you build your career on your own terms.

Why Choose Local Rhythm Music Group?
There’s no shortage of music marketing “experts” on Tiktok and Instagram claiming to have a shortcut to success. The truth is, there is no shortcut. Even the overnight success stories you hear about when someones goes viral on TikTok; on average they have been posting for 18 months. What appears to be spontaneous viral success is usually the result of months of planning, strategic execution, and persistent effort. The future of music belongs to independent artists who combine creative excellence with strategic business thinking. Instead of selling quick fixes, we focus on building sustainable growth. We provide the tools, expertise, and support needed while allowing you to maintaining your financial and artistic independence.
