Since 2006
About MusiBiz
MusiBiz (formerly Livemicsworld) has been a trusted space for independent Irish artists since 2006, created to give musicians a place to share their work, gain real visibility and connect with genuine audiences — without losing their independence or integrity.
Each artist feature includes a custom bio, social links and embedded music, so artists are discovered through authentic, story-driven visibility. Our profiles consistently rank across search engines, giving musicians a solid online foundation for long-term growth.
While MusiBiz began as a home for Ireland's independent scene, it now welcomes independent artists everywhere who share the same creative spirit.
Why I started MusiBiz
With over 30 years in Ireland's live music industry, I saw a gap — talented musicians who had the music, the message and the drive, but no clear way to be seen.
MusiBiz was built to bridge that gap: a community-driven platform where artists are recognised and supported on their own terms, through featured pages, playlists and direct support.
Irish Indie Chart
The next step was the Irish Indie Music Chart, launched to give independent Irish artists a place where their releases were actually visible — no politics, no gatekeeping, just great music from people charting their own course.
It grew out of the same belief that started everything: the scene is full of hidden gems writing with real soul and intent, and they only need somewhere to be heard.
Where it's going — World Indie
The chart is still powered by MusiBiz, but it now forms part of a bigger vision. World Indie exists to help independent artists build sustainable careers — not simply by promoting music, but by giving them practical tools, measurable progress and a platform where their development is recognised.
Artists are ranked on career development, consistency, audience growth and supporter engagement rather than streams or popularity. It's the same journey that began in 2006, just on a wider stage.
At its heart
At its heart, MusiBiz is about empowerment — helping artists tell their stories, share their craft and grow their careers at a pace that feels true to them.
It's not about hype or algorithms. It's visibility built on real foundations: purpose, connection and creative integrity.
