Why you
The music gets you in.
A real person reviews every artist profile. What gets you in is your content, not a following, not a budget.
People near you and all over the country host what you make and pass it on, and that's what moves you around 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 Englewood to Logan Square, Bronzeville to Wicker Park, Pilsen to Andersonville. Close enough to catch the set.
Climb the map
As people around you and around the country listen and host your tracks, your music starts playing where they live.
Then it travels
A real base at home, then footholds in the cities that host you. That's what makes the next one look.
Why it works
Chicago hears you first.
