Approximately 100,000 songs are released every day on music platforms. The music industry has become extremely saturated, making it extremely difficult to find and access music of smaller indie artists. Jeremiah Higgins noticed this gap in the market and decided he wanted to make a change, and provide an opportunity for new artists to have their music heard.
Introducing Radio Evolve, Santa Barbara’s own indie radio station, featuring the wide-ranging and riveting sounds of local artists. It’s simple — musicians seeking consideration for radio airplay can submit their music, in the form of MP3 files, to goodmusic@radio-evolve.rocks . Higgins also has his own show as part of the station, aptly titled The Jeremiah Show, featuring pop culture, music icons, and food gods as guests.
By featuring 99 percent indie artists, “it gives us an opportunity to showcase music artists that may be struggling to get their music out there. It’s so hard to break through, so for me, what it means is it gives us a platform to share those voices, whether it’s an entrepreneur, a business person, or a musician, music artist, or an artist of any type,” said Higgins, Director of Programming for Evolve Entertainment Network.
