Social media and online platforms

Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are excellent places to discover new and emerging artists. You should follow social media groups for emerging artists or search using relevant hashtags for new and interesting music. Due to the rise of social media platforms, it is easier than ever to find and engage with new artists. If you find an artist you like, make sure to share them with your friends on social media and follow them to stay up to date with their new music.

Attend live events

Attending live concerts, festivals, and other musical events is another great way to discover new artists. By attending these events, you can experience first-hand the energy, charisma and passion of emerging musicians. Smaller venues or gig spaces are especially good for discovering emerging talents who are yet to make it big. Additionally, you can talk to the new artists before or after the show, and begin to build a relationship with them. Many artists who are yet to make it big also perform at open mic nights or bars.

College and university radio stations

Most colleges and universities have their radio stations. These stations often play music from emerging artists that are not necessarily played on mainstream radio stations. You can tune in to these stations and feel the cool, underground waves of music flow through you. Additionally, you can join the station as a volunteer and get involved in reviewing new music. This not only gives you a chance to discover new talents, but it also helps to build your music industry expertise.

Collaborate with music bloggers/curators

Music bloggers or curators are an excellent source of new music. They are dedicated to curating and promoting new artists, and they have a solid audience base. By collaborating with these bloggers, you can be introduced to new artists that you might not have discovered on your own. You can access these bloggers or curators’ playlists on streaming platforms like Spotify or Tidal.
