Green Room · Founding Artists · in beta
New York.Plant your flag.
Songcry is invite-only. People find new artists by neighborhood, so whoever discovers you is close enough to show up. Get in while New York is still early.
Why you
You were picked, not promoted.
A short list of New York artists is getting in first. You made the list because the music already holds up and you're already out here, from the Bronx to Brooklyn, Harlem to the Lower East Side, Queens to Staten Island
No promo budget decides this. People near you save what you make and pass it on, and that's what moves you up the map. It's how records used to spread before the feed got bought.
How it works
Build at home. Then travel.
Claim your city
You surface first for listeners from Harlem to Bed-Stuy, the Bronx to Bushwick, Queensbridge to the Lower East Side. Borough by borough, block by block.
Climb the map
As people around you listen and pass your tracks on, you rise where they actually live. It's street buzz you can finally see.
Then it travels
A real base at home is what makes the next city bother to look.
Why it works
New York hears you first.
