do-it-yourself music

Do-it-yourself (DIY) music refers to the process where artists create, produce, and often distribute their music independently, without the involvement of major record labels or traditional industry gatekeepers. It involves using accessible technology and online platforms to record, mix, and share music directly with audiences. DIY music emphasizes creative control, personal expression, and often fosters a close connection between artists and listeners. This approach has become more feasible with advances in affordable recording equipment and digital distribution channels, empowering musicians to manage their careers and reach audiences on their own terms.
