The Sound System was developed to solve the following problems...

Jill Riley, founder of The Sound System, sees that professionals like artist managers, producers, and PR firms too often care more about their artist's career than the artist does. The Sound System does the filtering work for these professionals and hand delivers indie artists that are market ready.  Jill also sees that we are missing an undeveloped, and untapped, yet lucrative market.  The Sound System brings that market to life. Most independent artists cannot build a financially sustainable career because today’s artist “playbook” is fundamentally broken. Here are only a few reasons why: 
 

1. Indie Artists too often struggle with identity, direction, and confidence.

2. Indie Artists lack the business skills required to survive.

3. Indie Artists follow contradictory online advice and copy fleeting trends.

4. Indie Artists chase popularity instead of stabilized income.

5. Indie Artists depend almost solely on platforms that don’t pay enough.
