Country, jazz, punk, heavy metal, screamo...the list goes on and on. There are so many different genres of music out there and everyone gravitates to certain ones because they resonate with the melodic tune, lyrics, beats, and in general it encompasses their personality and aesthetic. For me it has always been indie music. Lyrics that you wouldn't necessarily hear on the radio, beats that are from another world, and overall completely genuinely talented. But were to start? There are so many musicians that are currently undiscovered by the masses, so, to make it a lot easier here are some artists and songs to dip your toes in.

TABA CHAKE - WALK WITH ME

A sweet romantic song about falling in love that is accompanied by the ethereal sounds of a ukulele.

ANUV JAIN - OCEAN

A beautiful reflective song that takes soul searching to a brand new level. Anuv, just like Taba, uses the ukulele to bring simplicity back into the world of music. Anuv wanted to strip down the beat of the song to make it easy on the ears for the listener.

CHELSEA CUTLER- YOUR SHIRT

Chelsea brings back nostalgia in a whole new way with this unique track of beats that lays under the meaningful lyrics. Even though it is a thoughtful and meaningful song it is hard to not dance to the beat that accompanies the song.

JESS BENKO- A SOULMATE WHO WASN'T MEANT TO BE

We all have missed out relationships that we thought were going to be the end game, but in the end they weren't and that's what this soulful somber song is all about.

WINTER AID- THE WISP SINGS

We all need to get away for a day or two, just go out into nature or dive into our paintings and books and just find ourselves from time to time, and that is the story being told between the lyrics of a miniature love song. It is from another world, and it helps you ease into the world of indie music.

THE CRANE WIVES- THE MOON WILL SING

This band brings the world of folk into the way they create their music, and the song The Moon Will Sing is a perfect example of the amazing creations that they produce. If you are into country or folk music this band is a perfect stepping stone into indie music.

SIBYLLE BAIER - FORGET ABOUT

Stripped down to nothing but an acoustic guitar and a light soulful voice that sings passionately and softly is what Sibylle produced with this song. If you are into somber music this is where you need to go.
