r/WeAreTheMusicMakers has 3.8 million members—producers, singers, bedroom artists, and industry vets all sharing what works. EDM producers pack into r/edmproduction (782K) to share tracks and get real feedback before release. r/MusicPromotion (54.5K) is specifically built for promotion—you can share your music here without getting banned.

But here's what most musicians miss: promotion without strategy doesn't work. r/musicmarketing (73K members) teaches you the actual marketing side—playlist pitching, social media tactics, release strategies. The beauty of these communities is the honesty. Someone will tell you if your mix sounds muddy or your artwork looks amateur. Whether you're dropping your first single or trying to quit your day job, these subreddits give you the playbook that most musicians never find.
