Amused Now&#8217;s in-depth interviews shine a spotlight on fabulous indie talent and give you the back stories you can&#8217;t find on any other site. Because Amused Now caters to multiple types of artists, we have a wider-reaching fan base than most indie sites.<\/p>\n<p>Amused Now fills the need all indie artists have for Artist and Repertoire (A&amp;R). Because indie artists choose to release their art independent of a film studio, music label or publishing company, they have no one to help them with artist development and promotion.<\/p>\n<p>As a first step to fill that gap, Cynthia Kahn created the Amused Now Blog and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a> to provide an up close and personal look at all quality\u00a0indie talent, from filmmakers to musicians to authors, plus all the right businesses \u00a0to follow that support those artists. She extracts the audio from the video interviews to create podcasts that are also available on <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>. Amused Now\u2019s posts, video interviews and podcasts shine a spotlight on great talent and bring artists to new fans.<\/p>\n<p>Amused Now provides indie fans with a dedicated web entertainment network to learn about new indie artists, their current projects and where to buy their work.<\/p>\n<p>Join us and help us create a world where talented artists make a living doing what they love!<\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, CEO and Founder<br \/>\nAmused Now Entertainment, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>One of our featured artists, singer-songwriter Nickey Duke, explained it best in his interview:<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8KD30tHWGTs\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><em>Cynthia Kahn has been an artist her entire life.
