Music Industry Nobodies is a new podcast hosted by Berlin Redlux and Josh (theblameyourselfpro / Blame Yourself Productions), independent music producers talking candidly about the DIY side of the music business. This inaugural episode centers on the theme "starting with zero" — the idea that nobody's coming to discover or save independent artists, so creators have to build their own audience, platforms, and promotional power from scratch.

Now get out there and be somebody!
