Unpacking the DIY Independent Artist Life with Parker Graye

Parker Graye is one of Canada’s leading independent country artists. Her drive has landed her on major stages like Boots and Hearts, participation in SiriusXM’s Top of the Country program, the coveted iHeartFutureStar and multiple Top 40 songs at country radio (Good at Gettin’ Gone, Rally Around - Sully Burrows, Love and Hate - Annika Catharina), and millions of organic streams.

Not bad for a 100% independent artist.

Parker and Logan sit down to create the do-it-yourself artist’s toolbox. From distributing your music, to building a social media presence and developing campaigns, to networking and building authentic relationships across the music industry. 

They also discuss the challenges that come with being an independent artist and how to make the most of it.
