How to pitch

All artists and their teams pitch new music for playlists using the exact same tool.

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!
