Something rather significant happens this Sunday. ‘High’ from my debut EP ‘Land of Light’ gets its radio debut through Formula Indie, the daily programme from European Indie Music Network. August 4th marks a proper milestone—not just any radio play, but integration into a network that spans continents.
Formula Indie represents serious indie curation. When they select your track for their 2-hour daily format, it means recognition from people who actually understand independent music. The network reaches audiences across Europe, Japan, Brazil, and the States through stations that prioritise artistic merit over commercial algorithms.
‘High’ landing this slot feels particularly fitting. The track emerged from those early ‘Land of Light’ sessions, where I was still finding my sound between shoegaze textures and synth-pop structures. Writing it felt like capturing something essential about creative ambition—that moment when you realise your music might actually reach beyond your immediate circle.
The European Indie Music Network connection matters because it represents genuine indie community support. These aren’t major label distribution deals or streaming platform features. This is independent music infrastructure recognising independent artists. The sort of validation that actually means something when you’re building a career on your own terms.
Six countries, multiple time zones, different languages—but the same commitment to showcasing music that exists outside mainstream formulas. ‘High’ gets to be part of that conversation now.
Radio debut feels like proper artist evolution. From bedroom demos to studio recordings to actual airwaves. Sunday, August 4th, ‘High’ joins the international indie conversation.
