Independent music marketing platform, TheIndie.biz, is rapidly gaining popularity among users of the social networking site Facebook, having surpassed 200,000 Likes in mid-August 2013.
Social media has played an important role in The Indie's success. This socialized indie music platform allows users to share the music they are listening to with their friends on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and other social networks with just a single click. "The Indie utilizes social media to expose music created by indie artists to a global audience of fans and supporters looking for new and exciting music," says Damon Cleveland, founder of TheIndie.biz.

The platform has successfully integrated itself into established social media circles in order to gain exposure and boost sales for emerging independent musicians.
Indie music as a whole is currently enjoying a boom in popularity among today's youth.
