DIY has always had a strong and fast growing foothold with US audiences because of our close relationships with US music industry and artists.
Our US audience accounts for over 25% of our overall monthly unique users online, while three of our top cities on Facebook are major US music cities.
Over the last six years we have partnered with the British Music Embassy at SXSW to showcase the UK’s emerging artists, as well being media partner to SXSW itself, reporting daily to our 1m+ global audience. More recently we have partnered and had stages at NYC’s New Colossus Festival, helped launch Reeperbahn Festival’s New York edition, co-promoted gigs with Adhoc and Alt-Citizen, and curated and managed in stores for Fred Perry fashion brand.
We continue to build relationships with the US independent labels to help promote their artist both in the US and overseas.
