Indie Creative is an initiative by independent artists and musicians, for aspiring artists and musicians.

Founded by Jin An, Pew and Elisa Liu, it stems from their mutual wish for a platform to meet mentors and peers, back when they were first starting out on their independent music and art careers.

As creatives, they believe in the importance of community, and the synergies that come with collaborating and learning from each other.

We hope that this network can serve as a starting point for aspiring and emerging creatives, and that you'll join us on this journey!
