Collaboration is key: How independent labels drive artist success

In an industry that’s constantly evolving, independent artists and labels must work together with intention and clarity. This panel looks at how collaboration between artists, labels, and professionals is helping to build careers, share risks, and stay independent for longer.

We’ll look at how independent labels are adapting, growing sustainably and finding new ways to generate income. From resource-sharing and audience development to cross-border partnerships, we’ll unpack what’s working and why.

Independent labels and self-releasing artists will gain useful perspectives on how working collectively can support the local scene and lead to opportunities beyond national borders. Expect a practical conversation with real takeaways, grounded in experience and focused on action.
