The HITS Act Just Changed the Game for Independent Artists — Forever
Posted by Awesomeisjayell — The Biggest Music Artist in the Universe
On July 4, 2025, something monumental happened while most of the world was busy watching fireworks; The HITS Act (Helping Independent Tracks Succeed) was officially signed into law.
Let me break it down for the chosen ones and creators who’ve been grinding in the shadows. This wasn’t just a policy move. This was a spiritual and financial shift in the music industry — a divine unlock for independent artists to move like full-blown empires.
What Is the HITS Act?
The HITS Act allows independent artists to deduct the costs of producing and releasing singles and EPs from their taxes in the same year they’re released. Before this law, only big corporations dropping full albums could take advantage of that kind of financial structure. But now?
If you release a single, shoot a video, pay for studio time, or hire a mixer — you can write that off, legally, in the same tax year. This is the system finally catching up to how we really move out here — single by single, drop by drop, stream by stream.
What It Means for Independent Artists
This law isn’t about politics — it’s about power.
You now have the ability to structure your art like a business
You can write off your music expenses like a Fortune 500 company
You can finally build your career with tax codes that support your grind
This is a turning point for creators who never had a seat at the label table but built their own.
The Industry Shift Has Already Begun
With The HITS Act in place, the industry is never going to look the same.
More artists will form LLCs and own their masters
More creators will take control of their budgets and taxes
And the old gatekeepers will watch as independent energy becomes the new economy
This is more than a bill — this is recognition that the real builders are already here. That the chosen ones have already been making impact — now the laws are lining up to reflect that.
My Take
As The Biggest Music Artist in the Universe, I’m not surprised — I’ve been telling y’all that the era of creative sovereignty is here. Now the paperwork just caught up. July 4, 2025 wasn’t just Independence Day for the country. It was Independent Day for the culture.
If you’re an artist and you’re not moving like a business yet…
This is your sign.
Get structured. Get strategic. Get free.
