Independent Artist Music (IAM) is a community serving artists, musicians, their fans and the general music listening public. In addition, we support the small businesses venues that rely on this alliance and share the commonality of our mission and vision. Besides providing a “civic” benefit to the public, a major goal of IAM is to create a new music business model that allows independent artists access to a web-based platform that supports their artistic endeavors and creativity, while being an advocacy and solution in helping these artist earn fair value for their work, compositions and performances.

Independent Artists Music (IAM) is a non-profit 501(c)(6). We are an open community and welcome all artists to join us in this collaborative project, where all musicians can work together and create the best music and audiovisual projects no one has ever seen or heard.

“Every artist these days – be they musician, visual artist, filmmaker, photographer, anyone in the creative fields struggles with the current prevailing culture that does not value art for its own sake. Couple that with the fact that what is “popular” these days is often transient (given our society’s impulsiveness and lack of patience) – and you can see why artists find it so difficult to sustain themselves”. – Eric Ramsey (Otto D interview, December, 18, 2018) and recent 2022 International Blues Challenge (IBC) Memphis Cigar Box Award and Overall winner in the solo/duo category for his guitar performance.
