Just a few shots from an unforgettable night—our first Future of Indie SXSW showcase was a moment. Over 22 artists, spanning indie pop, stadium soul, alt R&B, southern rap, and Afrobeats, left it all on stage. We packed the house with 500+ attendees, proving once again that the future of indie is IRAS. 👁️

Huge thank you to all the artists who performed, our partner @linktree for their support and seamless integration, and everyone who helped bring this vision to life. We’re building something special—a movement where independent artists have the tools, resources, and opportunities to thrive.

This is just the beginning. Full recap coming soon. See y’all next year! 🔥 #SXSW taken in Sahara Lounge by @indiebyiras
