It was with this attitude in mind that Tarnius began in 2004. Frustrated with having to forfeit their profits or change their sounds in order to be heard, a small group of artists decided to create an alternative to major labels and promotion companies. Originally started as a means to market, publish, and distribute music, the company that would evolve into Tarnius Music Inc. set out to find the most cost-effective ways for artists to be heard on a small budget. What they found was that, even when selling a good amount of albums, it was hard for artists to make money. After replication, promotion, studio costs, and distribution costs, there’s no money left for the artists! That’s, of course, assuming you can even get people to listen in the first place. Even alternatives like CDBaby charge too much and you can be lost in a sea of other artists.

It was at this point that the new face of Tarnius Music took shape. We were determined to find a new way for artists to sell their music. So here we are today, bringing fans and artists together and keeping the control in the hands of the artists!

What we do:

Tarnius Music is a unique independent music solution. We provide the tools for independent artists and labels to get their music heard by more people and in a larger variety of ways. We work much like other stores, except the artists control their music and keep more of their money! We take the music directly from the artist and get it out to more fans, whether it’s a CD, download, or any other format.

While we are always looking for great music, we do not concern ourselves with controlling genres, production, or “radio friendliness” here. It is the artist’s music, not ours, and we want to give the control back to them. For artists, we allow you to bring your music (however, you want it to sound) to the rest of the world, and make some money while you’re at it! For fans, we give you access to independent music of every genre, from all over the world. You don’t have to settle anymore for what the radio decides is good because you have artists from everywhere that can be your “local” favorite!
