"Can TikTok virality replace touring?"
"Is AI production (Suno, Udio) killing authenticity—or democratizing it?"

HMI Radio was born out of a passion for music that transcends the mainstream. In the mid-2000s, a group of independent artists and producers came together with a vision to create a radio station that truly represents the underground scene. We saw a need for a platform that values originality, diversity, and authenticity in music. Thus, HMI Radio was created to fulfil that need, and we have been committed to this cause ever since.
