“When you are on a major record label, you're just forced to think big. You are forced to think about things like "how many radio spins did we get this week?" or "how many albums did we sell across the country. Being independent, you are just focused on the city that you are playing in tonight. How many people can I meet and become friends with tonight. That's one of the great things about being an independent artist.”
![“What I like about being independent [in the music industry] is that anybody who does play the album on the radio and anybody who does choose to write in the media does so because they want to, because they like it or because they find something interesting there, not because they have to.” quote by Ani DiFranco](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/894/ani-difranco-813_albums_what-i-like-about-being-independent-in-t_3081939.jpg)
