🎤 Major Performances
We get indie artists booked to perform in front of thousands of fans as opening acts for MAJOR artists like the Migos, NLE Choppa, Da Baby, and MORE. Artists also get PAID for these performances or receive paid travel accommodations!
💰 Getting to The Bag
We've helped artists secure thousands of dollars in sponsorships, grants, paid features, bookings, sync placements, and other income by connecting them to real industry contacts and the right opportunities.
