Yesterday on the NPR radio show, “Talk of the Nation,” I heard an interesting interview with unsigned songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. Her music was discovered on her MySpace page and consequently is being used on the TV show, “Grey‘s Anatomy.” In a discussion with host Neal Conan, she asserts that record company support is unnecessary to make a living composing music, and that companies searching for talent are as likely to look on MySpace as anywhere else. And because she‘s unsigned, she gets about 2/3 of any sales on iTunes. If you‘re an independent musician, I recommend that you listen to the program here.
