Tek Lintowe meets Aphex Twin; a prime example of how the industry has failed us.

Why is everyone claiming to be an artist? Here is the article for this example. If you click on the link, it will take you to the page which has the full article. Obviously, this text will be replaced with a real article. Hopefully I'll get that done within the week. I'm super excited to get sandbox.fm up and running. I really thing we are going to be huge:)
What is sandbox.fm?
In the age of algorithm-driven, pay-to-play discovery, our goal is to cut through the noise and bridge the gap between undervalued independent artists and their current + potential audiences. We are currently focusing on expanding our Instagram community, as we platform a curated selection of like-minded artists through features, write-ups, and community interaction.
How it helps artists:
Sponsorship
Free press/promotion through both paid ads & organic reach
A sense of backing and community support
New outlet for expression which otherwise might not be shared
Credibility through brand association (sandbox.fm)
Growth
Legitimate fanbase
Artist identity and character development
Brand awareness in a community that matters
Connecting with like-minded artists
How it helps listeners:
Artist/Art Discovery
Automated discovery leaves much to be desired
No algorithmic/AI misdirection (takes false cues from one-off searches)
Free from the echo chamber
Not just seeing the corporate funded, or over promoted music.
Artist/Audience Connection
Belonging to an exciting, growing scene
Potential to influence account + interact w/ artists
Able to easier relate to artists (humanizing)
Platform to connect with other audience members
