Q&A: Indie Artist Gave an Honest Pitch-Us Review

Sometimes, it’s best to hear directly from the artists. We sat down with V.D., an indie artist who’s been grinding for years, to talk about his experience with Pitch-Us. No fluff, no overhyped claims - just a real conversation about what worked, what changed, and how it helped him grow.

Maria: Let’s start simple - why did you decide to work with Pitch-Us?

V.D.: Man, I was tired of doing everything alone. Droppin’ tracks, hoping someone notices, tryna push on social but feeling stuck. I knew I had good music, but getting people to actually hear it? Different story. Then a friend told me about Pitch-Us, said they actually get results. Thought, why not?

Maria: A lot of artists struggle with playlist pitching. Was that a problem for you?

V.D.: Oh, bro. Before Pitch-Us, I’d submit to playlists and just pray. Now? It’s a whole different game. They actually KNOW the curators. My tracks don’t just get placed, they get placed right. First time they pitched my song, I saw streams go up overnight for almost 3k. To be precise, for 2765, I'd never forget that number and the feeling. It's not much for many artists, but for me, that was like winning a Grammy because I know how much I struggled before and never got anywhere near that number on my own before. And those weren't just random plays - people were saving my track, adding me to their own lists. That’s when I knew this was different.

Maria: We’ve worked on more than just playlists together. Do you think our strategy played a role in your success?

V.D.: 100%. I used to just drop songs whenever I felt like it. No plan, no buildup. Pitch-Us, I mean, you guys changed that. You got me thinking long-term. When to drop, how to tease a release, when to push hard on promo. Timing matters so much more than I thought. Even little things, like how I announce a track, make a huge difference. Now, I got momentum.

Maria: I remember that our CEOs personally reviewed some of your tracks. What was that experience like?

V.D.: Bruh, that was crazy. These guys BEEN in the industry, so when they talk, you listen. I sent a track, thought it was ready. They gave me honest feedback - stuff I never even thought about. Tweaked the mix, changed a section, even fixed how I delivered one line. Next thing I know, the song hit way harder. And that’s rare, man. Most people just tell you, “Yeah, sounds good.” These guys actually CARE.

Maria: TikTok. It’s kinda a wild place for artists. What's your experience with TikTok?

V.D.: I used to think TikTok was just kids dancing, not for my music. Boy, was I wrong. Pitch-Us set up a campaign, got the track in front of the right creators. Not huge influencers - just the right ones. Song took off, people started using it, and suddenly, my streams jumped. And the best part? It didn’t feel forced. Just natural growth.

Maria: We also worked with you on Instagram growth. What’s been the biggest change?

V.D.: More engagement, more legit followers. Before, my posts got a few likes, a couple comments. Now? Fans actually talk to me. DMs, reactions, shares. And when I drop something new, they SHOW UP. It’s not about numbers, it’s about real fans who actually care. That’s the difference.

Maria: Please, be 100% honest - did all this actually help you make more money?

V.D.: Hell yeah. More streams, more sales, more gigs. It all connects. Before, I was just tryna survive. Now, I’m building something. And I ain’t stopping anytime soon.

Maria: If another artist was on the fence about Pitch-Us, what would you tell them?

V.D.: Simple, if you’re serious about this, work with them. They’re not magicians, you still gotta put in the work, but they make sure your work actually PAYS OFF. Best decision I made for my music, no doubt.

Maria: Any final thoughts you'd like to add?

V.D.: Just grateful, man. Pitch-Us got my back. And that’s rare in this industry.

V.D.’s success didn’t happen overnight, and there’s no single magic trick to breaking through. But if you want to apply the same proven strategy from V.D.'s Pitch-Us review, here’s the roadmap:

1️⃣ Start with playlisting. Getting placed on the right Spotify playlists is key to getting organic streams. Curation matters, and we make sure your track gets in front of the right ears. But start small and build up gradually!

2️⃣ Boost your presence on TikTok & Instagram. A well-placed TikTok campaign can do wonders, just like it did for Vern. Pair it with Instagram growth to make sure your audience is engaged and ready when you drop new music.

3️⃣ Wrap it up with digital PR. Once you’ve got momentum, press coverage and media exposure will solidify your brand and credibility as an artist.

After these 3 steps, make sure to keep up good results with Spotify Subscription!
