I'm really grateful to Local Sounds for the work they did to amplify my first single, 'kintsugi'. As a new, independent artist there are so many things to do, and it can be hard to find space for the time-consuming work of pitching to music publications and playlist curators. Local Sounds did a lot of heavy lifting here, pitching my work widely and landing my track a spot on a playlist with over 38k followers, as well as a feature with Spinex Music - an international music discovery platform and digital magazine.
Local Sounds also promoted my work widely on their own website and radio - it really felt like they took a sincere and genuine interest in my art, and that was a wonderful feeling to have, especially as a first-timer. They took the time to create promotional assets for me, and offer useful tools like an EPK builder that can really help artists to create a professional, cohesive presence with minimal stress.
I also personally discovered a number of awesome indie artists who I'd probably have never otherwise heard of through Local Sounds. They genuinely care about independent Australian music, it really shows and it's so needed. Thank you so much to the whole team for your dedication, your efficiency and the results you delivered!

I'm pretty stoked with how the Local Sounds campaign worked. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but hitting a 35% conversion rate on the outreach was massive for an indie project like mine. The highlight for me was definitely cracking into the US, getting that video interview with Chris Hedden on On the Back Edge of the Beat felt like a cool opportunity. It's given me some proper international exposure that I can actually use when I'm looking at future releases. Seeing the track climb to #6 on the Local Sounds Top 100 was wild too.
Between the ads, the article, and the EPK, we clocked over 16,000 views and listens, which is a huge step up for me. Plus, getting added to some solid playlists like "Chill Bedroom & Lo-Fi" and "Tsk Tsk" really helped push the track to a global audience. If you're an indie artist trying to bridge that gap from local support to international recognition, this was a worthwhile service.

Working with Local Sounds on the Amplified campaign for my single 'Good Girl Problem' was worth every cent. As a North Queensland artist, getting your music noticed can be a challenge, but Local Sounds delivered great results.
Over 40% of the reviewers they pitched to, picked up the track! On top of that, the track was added to major Spotify playlists like Saddle Up, It's Country Time and Folk & Country Roadie Music, and featured on the US based Women of Substance Podcast.
With thousands of new eyes and ears on my music, plus Local Sounds' incredible on-platform support, including banner ads, radio promos, and hitting #1 on the Local Sounds Top 100 Trending chart, I couldn't be happier. Local Sounds Amplified truly lives up to its name!

The Amplified campaign for Iron Veins, my international collaboration with the incredible Indonesian band Batas Senja, was a fantastic experience. Bringing a cross-border, genre-blending project to life requires a team that truly understands how to reach a bigger audience, and Local Sounds delivered.
The campaign secured local and overseas traction, landing reviews, interviews, radio airplay and features across notable music media. Iron Veins also picked up great momentum on Spotify, including editorial and independent playlist support.
I highly recommend the Amplified service to any artist looking to break boundaries and expand their international reach.
