Music has always been a powerful way to bring people together. That’s exactly what Indaband is all about—a new app that helps people connect and create music, no matter where they are.
The idea for Indaband started in a tech company in Brazil, where a group of co-workers would jam together every Friday. It wasn’t about perfection—it was about relaxing, sharing, and having fun. When lockdowns hit, those jam sessions stopped, and they realized how much they missed that connection. So, they built Indaband, a virtual music studio that lets people improvise and record music with others online.
A Community for Creativity and Well-being
Since its launch, Indaband has grown into a global community of music lovers. Users can record tracks, collaborate, and celebrate each other’s creations—all while supporting mental well-being. The focus is on creativity and connection, not perfection.
Music producer and educator Carl McCarthy knows how powerful that can be. Growing up in Manchester’s iconic music scene, Carl always loved how music connected people. After years studying how technology affects mental health, he found Indaband to be the perfect balance—a creative outlet that feels grounding, not draining.
The app even inspired Carl and his brother to create an album together, Away for Too Long: The Studio Sessions, turning their virtual jams into something lasting.
Why Music Matters for Mental Health
It’s no secret that music helps reduce stress, boost mood, and bring people together. Neuroscientists call it “medicine.” Indaband makes that medicine easy to access, giving people a space to create and connect in a positive, supportive environment.
In a time when digital overload is affecting mental health—especially for young people—Indaband offers something different: a chance to collaborate, express yourself, and stay grounded in what matters most.
So, whether you’re a lifelong musician or just curious to give it a try, Indaband welcomes you to join the jam and feel the difference.
