Independent Artists: 3 Essential Tools Transforming Music Promotion- Exclusive Interview

Global music industry connections – PlaylistSupply, Booking-Agent.io, and RadioPromo.io help indie artists reach fans worldwide

Independent artists often struggle with playlists, touring, and radio promotion. In this exclusive Pump It Up Magazine interview, we explore how three groundbreaking platforms—PlaylistSupply, Booking-Agent.io, and RadioPromo.io—are reshaping the landscape for indie artists.


Pump It Up Magazine: For those discovering you for the first time, what inspired the creation of Booking-Agent.io, PlaylistSupply, and RadioPromo.io? What makes each one stand out in today’s music industry?

The inspiration for creating PlaylistSupply, Booking-Agent.io, and RadioPromo.io came directly from our own experiences in the music industry and the recurring struggles we witnessed among emerging artists, managers, and indie labels. Whether it’s getting music heard on playlists, finding talent buyers to lock in live shows, or pitching tracks to radio stations, the barriers were always the same, gatekeeping, lack of transparency, outdated directories, and extremely costly processes.

PlaylistSupply was our first product and was created at a time when playlisting on Spotify became one of the most powerful forms of music discovery. However, the problem was that most artists didn’t have access to reliable curator contact information, and many were unknowingly submitting to botted or low-quality playlists that affected their music negatively.

PlaylistSupply changed that by offering real-time access to playlist data and curator contacts through an advanced search engine and playlist quality analysis tool. It allowed artists and managers to search for playlists by keywords and surface contact information for high-quality playlist curators that aligned with their genre, musical style, or vibe, enabling more organic and effective outreach.

From there, Booking-Agent.io was born to address the live music side of the equation. As someone who has worked as a booking agent, I knew firsthand how time-consuming and inefficient it was to research venues, talent buyers, and past artist performance histories.

Booking-Agent.io flips the script by using AI to let artists search by genre or similar artists and get mapped data on venues and real, verified talent buyer contacts. It’s a live music discovery engine that empowers artists to book their own shows, build fan bases, and bypass traditional gatekeepers.

Finally, we launched RadioPromo.io as a modern solution to the outdated, expensive, and often inaccessible world of radio promotion. Traditional radio campaigns can be extremely costly and opaque. RadioPromo.io gives artists, managers, and labels direct access to radio station data and contact information for program directors across any genre. It uses AI to surface relevant radio stations where similar artists’ music was aired, or by a specific genre, allowing musicians to build customized campaigns without relying on expensive middlemen who guarantee absolutely nothing.

Each tool we’ve built focuses on a different part of the artist journey, playlist promotion, live show booking, and radio outreach. But they all share one vision: democratizing access to the industry’s most valuable data and making professional promotion possible for independent artists to take into their own hands.


Pump It Up Magazine: Booking-Agent.io is described as a first-to-market talent buyer search engine. How is it changing the way artists and managers approach booking shows and tours?

Booking-Agent.io is fundamentally changing how artists and managers plan tours and secure shows by putting real-time, high-quality venue data directly into their hands. Traditionally, booking live shows required endless hours of researching, networking, and emailing venues, often without any knowledge of who to contact or whether a venue even books artists in your genre. Most existing tools relied on outdated, static directories or spreadsheets that didn’t reflect what was actually happening in the live music scene and were nowhere near up to date.

What sets Booking-Agent.io apart is its artist-centric and AI-driven approach. Instead of sifting through generic venue lists, users can either search by a genre or by an artist’s name and see a live map of where that artist has performed. From there, they gain access to the venue name, contact information of the talent buyer and other venue employees, and context about the type of artists that perform there.

This reverse-engineered tour planning enables smarter, faster routing and precise venue targeting. Indie artists can model their booking strategy after similar-sounding or similar-sized artists and grow their fan base and even tap into new markets. Managers can build campaigns that align with an artist’s career stage. And because our data is constantly up-to-date in real-time, users are always working with the freshest contact and venue info, no more relying on static spreadsheets or unreliable booking databases that are never updated.


Pump It Up Magazine: PlaylistSupply provides real-time playlist search and curator contact data. What common challenges in playlist promotion does it solve, and how do you make sure quality is prioritized over quantity?

PlaylistSupply was built to solve some of the biggest pain points in the world of playlist promotion, especially for independent artists. One major challenge is the lack of transparency. Artists often have no idea who curates a playlist, how to contact them, or whether the playlist actually generates real listener engagement. Worse, the playlisting world is flooded with botted playlists that inflate numbers without generating real fans.

Our tool combats that by giving users access to a search engine that finds Spotify playlists and curator contact information in real-time! You can search by keyword, whether that’s a genre, mood, niche term, or even an instrument, and instantly find curated results that include playlist name, follower count, track count, curator name, and most importantly, contact details such as email or social media links.

To ensure quality, PlaylistSupply also includes features like Organic Search, PlaylistVet, and Follow Chart History. This allows users to filter for playlists that show steady engagement over time rather than suspicious spikes, allowing users to quickly flag and avoid low-quality or potentially botted playlists. Our goal isn’t just to provide data, it’s to empower smart targeting that leads to real listens, saves, and audience growth.


Pump It Up Magazine: RadioPromo.io uses AI to connect artists and labels with radio stations and program directors. How is this technology making radio outreach more effective?

RadioPromo.io modernizes a traditionally inaccessible part of the music industry, radio promotion. While radio remains a powerful driver of music discovery, the process of connecting with program directors has long been gatekept by expensive radio pluggers, outdated contact lists, or PR firms with limited reach and no guarantee.

Our platform changes that by using AI to gather thousands of radio station websites in real-time, along with the music program directors’ contact information for effective and targeted radio outreach. Similar to Booking-Agent.io, users can search by genre or similar artists to generate a targeted list of stations and their key music programming contacts. Instead of blindly blasting emails, musicians can now pitch directly to the stations and people most likely to support their sound.

This level of personalization and access was previously only available to major label artists or those with large budgets. Now, independent artists can build their own radio campaigns and access real contacts, all in one place. We’re proud that RadioPromo.io is making radio outreach faster, more affordable, and more accessible than ever for indie artists worldwide.
