Universal Indie is an online record label launched by the creators of HoodGrown Magazine and Musica360.com to leverage the power of the internet to market and promote quality music to the consumer. Digital music is the future: with sales of downloaded music and mp3 players skyrocketing and more people discovering new music by utilizing the internet, Universal Indie is poised to take advantage of the latest on-line and mobile communications technologies.

Our primary marketing channel is through the Internet and we execute a comprehensive on-line marketing and promotional campaign, including but not limited sales through 3rd party vendors, street teams, viral marketing, web based videos, online reviews and features.

Unlike other “e-labels” Universal Indie treats it’s digital release in the same way that we would a release on cd. All of our releases are mastered and provided with hi-resolution album art.

Universal Indie Artists Universal Indie’ artists: retain ownership of their masters and copyrights and receive 50% of all sales of releases not provided as free downloads.

Music Distribution In this new and exciting age Universal Indie will be experimenting with other music distribution models such as “pay what you think it’s worth” and “advertiser supported” methods .

Universal Indie Releases We don’t add any DRM (Digital Rights Management) to the audio files sold through our site. All files are sold as open ended mp3s which can be burned to cd or transfered to almost any digital audio player without hassle.
