Mission

Zappagram’s mission is to both inform and entertain music lovers, striking a balance between coverage of popular music and championing the cause for emerging indie artists who deserve to be known.

Prologue

Independent music journalist Chris Zappa launched Zappagram on Substack in 2021 and has been publishing weekly ever since. With a commitment to showcasing both established and emerging artists, Zappagram has become a must-read for those who want to explore the full spectrum of the modern music scene.

Subscription

Zappagram offers both free and paid subscription options. Free subscribers have access to the main weekly newsletter. Paid subscribers gain access to exclusive paywalled content, including more than three years of archives, as well as the ability to join a vibrant music community by participating in discussions via article comments.

Of massive importance: paid subscribers make it possible for me to do this work and to offer free weekly content. Without the ongoing support of paid subscribers, Zappagram could not exist. Please consider supporting independent music journalism with a paid subscription.

Please note: paid subscriptions are non-refundable.
