College radio stations are an essential stepping stone for indie musicians building their career. Instead of aiming for social media virality, establishing a dedicated audience with the help of college radios may be the music industry’s secret to success.

Campus and community radio stations expose music to microcommunities, which are small groups of individuals tightly bound by common interests and passions. Musical microcommunities are the unseen foundation of the industry, and the true determinants of future success. These groups of dedicated people have high engagement, authentic connections, and a deep appreciation for the indie musicians they identify with, leading to a stable collective of superfans.

College radio stations accept music submissions via CD, Vinyl, or mp3 submission via their websites. Find selected radio stations to submit your music to in our DIY Music PR section.

College radio stations develop microcommunities by adding artists to curated Spotify playlists and hosting live sessions for indie musicians. Live sessions can then open up opportunities for future interviews and music videos with the station. Stations also announce and promote tours to local audiences, allowing for fans and other listeners to attend and support live music performances.

With the power of college radio stations, microcommunities can propel indie musicians to future industry success. Submit your music to our U.S. and Canadian college radio stations now to find your microcommunities.
