In this ever-evolving music landscape, I’ve been diving into platforms like SoundCloud and Bandcamp to hunt for fresh talent. It amazes me how much potential is out there; I recently signed a young artist from Los Angeles who had only 500 followers but an incredible sound. What tools or methods do you all use to unearth hidden gems?
I totally get that thrill of finding someone with raw talent. I’ve been using TikTok to spot emerging artists too; some of my favorites had less than 1,000 followers before blowing up. Have you considered looking there? It’s an interesting way to gauge fan reactions in real-time.
And i’ve been really into using Instagram lately to find new artists. Some of them post their best tracks in stories, and it feels more personal than just a streaming platform. Ever tried reaching out to them directly?
