I wish your service had been around when I released my CD. Back then, your only protection was a letter from the government — which didn't give me a lot of confidence — or mailing a CD to yourself and never opening it.David Wimble
The Artist
About David Wimble
David Wimble is the founder of The Indie Bible, one of the longest-running and most trusted resources for independent musicians in the world. An independent musician himself, David created the Indie Bible in 1999 out of a simple frustration he knew firsthand: talented independent artists were being overlooked by mainstream media and had no easy way to find the blogs, radio stations, playlist curators, labels, and venues that genuinely wanted to support them. More than 27 years later, that one idea has grown into an essential toolkit used by independent artists across the globe. What sets the Indie Bible apart is David's insistence on doing the work by hand — every contact is personally researched and verified, not scraped or auto-generated. In an age of AI shortcuts, his directories remain a rare example of human-checked, genuinely reliable information that artists can trust. David's mission has always been the same one that drives SongProof: putting real power back into the hands of the independent creator.
