Truants

Truants, an independent music platform, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Operating as a non-profit and ad-free entity since its inception, Truants has consistently prioritized showcasing a diverse range of musical talent. For a decade, they've operated largely self-funded, demonstrating a deep commitment to their artistic vision. Currently boasting 153 paid members and a total community of 310, their Patreon earnings, while modest (estimated at $632, ranging from $490-$1610), represent a significant step towards sustainable growth. This highlights the strength and loyalty of their dedicated following. Their unique approach – a completely ad-free, non-profit model – sets them apart in the competitive music industry, providing a crucial alternative platform and fostering a strong sense of community among both artists and listeners. Launched in January 2020, Truants continues to cultivate a space free from commercial pressures, dedicated to fostering artistic expression and connection.
