Indie music is better
in a room together.

A note from the maintainer

“I'm Jesse—an indie musician, just like you. Years ago, I built a modestly successful music career without a label: touring nationally, landing sync placements, and earning some great press along the way. After that, I spent a decade building software at tech startups. Now, more than ten years later, I'm stepping back into music. Back then, I thought the music industry was often exploitative and unnecessarily difficult to navigate. Returning today, I've found many of those problems have only gotten worse. Rather than complain about it, I've decided to build free tools that help independent musicians succeed. In music, your network is often your biggest asset. The ability to connect with the right people can open more doors than almost anything else. That's why I'm starting with Heard: a free directory of music industry contacts designed to help artists expand their reach and build meaningful connections. I'm just one person, and this directory won't be perfect. But with enough people contributing and benefiting from it, I hope it can become something genuinely useful for all of us.”
