I've really been getting into the independent music lately. I just recently started a YouTube (www.youtube.com/sarahlacroixmusic) for my singing/songwriting, so it's really motivated me to see what other little known gems are out there. There is a ton of talent! I tend to add the stuff I really like into an indie playlist.

Other independent artists I love:
Tonya Kennedy
Tracy Bone
Lionheart Rich (YouTube)
Mentalmoomin (YouTube)
