I have been a professional musician and songwriter for about 50 years. I released my first solo album in 1978 and had almost no self-promotion avenues available to me as an independent. If only Indie Bible had been available at that time, it would have been a game changer. Through the years since that album, I have continued writing and have amassed a huge catalogue of original songs that I have only recently begun to record as a very challenging archival project. I can not even imagine tackling this without Indie Bible to assist me, I followed up my first song release last year with a press release (using Indie Bible references) that prompted a response from a blogger who wrote a glowing review of my tune. A nice start. This year I have been focusing on recording, building up my inventory to 20 originals completed. A couple of months ago, when Indie Bible put out an email about doing radio promotions using iPlugger, I decided to give it a shot with 3 of my original holiday songs. I’m happy to report a few weeks later that companies in 19 countries have downloaded my songs — at least a dozen of those companies provide in-store music for retail locations (over 700,000 in total). I will have no idea until late summer how much airplay I’ll actually receive, but it sure is an energy booster that is propelling me forward. This feels like just the beginning.My next step is to use the YouTube Bible and Spotify Bible to boost performance on those formats as well. Obviously, there is a ton of highly qualified talent out there competing for attention… and naturally there is no guarantee that the public will find my music significant enough to pay attention to it. However, for an eclectic independent musician on a limited budget to even have the opportunity for a decent shot at success it is pretty remarkable… and Indie Bible is an invaluable tool for that pursuit. Thank you for being such a great service.Musically yours,Mark Horn, a.k.a. George Nipson
