This #internationalwomensday, we're celebrating the powerful female forces leading mental health awareness in the music industry, and Hayley Williams of Paramore is a shining example. In a recent article with the The New York Times (link in bio), Williams spoke about her journey of self discovery, accepting her depression/PTSD and beginning the healing process that ultimately lead to the creation of her upcoming solo album.

Twice as many women will experience depression in their lifetimes than men, and brave voices like Williams' ignite vital conversations and remind each of us that we are not alone.

Get your bite sized advice re: independent distribution via Resonator

Bite-Sized Advice vol. 7: Independent Distribution

Did you know independent recorded music generated $821m in 2019? (Source: musicbusinessworldwide) 🤯🤯

Choosing a distributor for your next project isn’t straightforward at all. With so many different distributors with hidden fees and service offerings, it’s really difficult to know where to get started. So here is our Pro and Con breakdown of some of the biggest players in the DIY game, #tunecore #distrokid #cdbaby and the tier of invite only distributors like #unitedmasters #awal #empire
Some take one time fees, some take annual fees, and others just rely on a percentage of generated revenue. Take some notes, your distributor is your best friend as an independent artist these days.

Who do you distribute your music through? What’s your experience with them?

A resonator is something that takes a wavelength and amplifies it, making it louder, stronger, and more vibrant than before. @resonatorarts aims to do that for the underground music scene, both locally and abroad. And here are the faces behind it. We turned 4 years old this year, and we’re only getting started. If y’all could do me a favor and give us a like on the @resonatorarts page, that would be amazing 🙏🏼.

BrainPower Neurodevelopmental Center

“Did you know that the right brain develops first? It does so by the time children are 3-4 years of age. The left brain, on the other hand, doesn’t fully come online until children are approximately seven years old; hence the first seven years being recognized as such a critical period in child development.”
