Yes, independent artists can indeed get on the radio. While it may be more challenging compared to artists backed by major labels, there are numerous independent and college radio stations that actively support and promote emerging artists. These stations often have a more flexible and open-minded approach to music selection, providing independent artists with an opportunity to gain exposure and airplay. Building relationships with DJs, submitting songs to appropriate stations, and utilizing online platforms and resources can significantly increase the chances of independent artists getting their music played on the radio.
