Why HIMN?

At the Heartland Independent Music Network (HIMN), we believe that independent voices deserve to be heard. Our purpose is to create a bridge between artists, radio stations, and industry partners—empowering Midwest talent with the tools, exposure, and connections they need to thrive.

By giving artists a direct path to radio play and providing our network partners with exclusive, fresh, and authentic content, HIMN fuels a cycle of creativity and collaboration that uplifts the entire Heartland music scene. Together, we’re building a platform where creativity meets opportunity, and where the heart of independent music beats the loudest.
