Independent Artists: Josh Verdes

Argon18
I first heard of Josh Verdes through hearing his song "Love at first sight" in a HappySlip video on YouTube, which goes to show that the stranglehold of the music industry on the discovery and distribution of creative talent has failed.

Through combining his talent for mesmerizing songs with Christine Gambito's videos, he makes the impact much more meaningful by providing the soundtrack for her stories.

They both have a following among the Filipino and YouTube community, that has spread through social media and public appearances bypassing the traditional media deals.

Josh Verdes seems to have his most updated information on his MySpace page and is selling a CD of his songs directly through CreateSpace and Amazon.

That is the new business model for the independent artist to be able to get their creativity out to the audience without a middleman. It takes a lot more effort, but it has more control over the decisions made.
