How to pitch
PICK YOUR SONG
You can pitch one song from an EP or album release - so pick your favorite that best represents you and your story!
LOCATION, LOCATION
Sometimes our editors are looking for sounds reflective of a certain part of the world, so as you pitch you can tell us your hometown and where you’re currently based.
ALL IN THE DETAILS
Tell us your story - what’s your song about, what does it mean to you, did you collaborate with anyone? Pick up to three genres and tell us about the sound - the more you tell us, the better chance we’ll have of finding your song a home.
PITCH IT
Review all your details and then submit! Our editors listen to as much music as possible but we get thousands of pitches a week - so the earlier you pitch the better! Get to it!
Certain playlists give you a personalized link to share that puts your song in first position for fans.
