Local Sounds is a platform built to give independent artists a louder voice and a bigger stage. It exists for musicians creating outside the major label system and for listeners who want to discover music that feels fresh, local, and real.
Our mission is simple and it’s summed up in our slogan: Independent Music, Amplified.
What is Local Sounds?
Local Sounds brings together radio, promotion, and artist tools in one place. It’s designed to help independent music be heard, discovered, and shared, without paywalls or gatekeeping.
Local Sounds Radio
At the core of the platform is Local Sounds Radio, our own radio streaming service. It’s available on iHeartRadio and across a growing network of partner stations, reaching real audiences every month.
Independent artists can submit their music for airplay for free via the Local Sounds website. If your track fits the sound, it gets the chance to be played alongside great music and discovered by new listeners.
Promotion Built for Independent Artists
Local Sounds is more than just airplay. It’s also a promotional platform designed to help artists present themselves professionally and save time.
Artists can:
* Feature their music on dedicated promotional pages
* Generate ready-to-use social media posts
* Create electronic press kits
* Access growing tools designed to support promotion and discovery
More features are on the way, all focused on helping independent artists grow without needing a label or a big budget.
Listen Anywhere With the Local Sounds App
The all-new Local Sounds app makes discovering independent music easy wherever you are. You can listen on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto while driving, on Apple TV and Android TV at home, and even from your Apple Watch on the go. The app is built to follow you across devices, so independent music is always within reach.
Built for What’s Next
Local Sounds is constantly evolving. New tools, features, and opportunities are being developed to further support independent artists and connect them with new audiences.
Whether you’re an artist looking for airplay and promotion, or a listener searching for something different, Local Sounds is built for you.
Local Sounds. Independent Music, Amplified.
