A real stage. A real audience. Here's exactly what to expect.
EMERGING ARTIST PROGRAM
How the
Program Works
Our Emerging Artist program is designed to give real performers a real stage with a real audience. Here's exactly what to expect from the moment you apply.
APPLY & GET EVALUATED
Submit your application. Our team personally reviews every submission and reaches out if you're a fit.
BRING YOUR AUDIENCE
Selected artists must bring a minimum of 6 guests. No audience, no performance, no exceptions. Building your own crowd is one of the most fundamental skills of a working performer. We hold you to this standard because we're preparing you for the industry, not just giving you a stage. Before performing, artists sign a contract. Not because of the audience requirement alone, but because this is where the business of music begins. What it means to make a commitment. What it means to show up professionally. What it means to treat your art like a career.
UNDER 18? PARENT PERMISSION REQUIRED
Performers under 18 must provide written parental consent before taking the stage. No exceptions.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU PERFORM
If our team believes you're ready, you'll be invited back for paid opportunities. If not, keep perfecting your craft. You're always welcome to return, and our online accelerator is coming soon.
