FEATURED ARTISTS

Our Process

We help artists grow by promoting them based on quality and genre fit, not contacts or money. Our process supports creators with professional feedback, curated promotion, and real audience engagement.

1. Artists submit their tracks for consideration and receive professional feedback.

2. If their track is approved, it gets added to one of our playlists on all streaming platforms and gains instant exposure to our highly engaged audience, generating consistent results indefinitely.

3. Once an artist achieves three approved tracks, they become eligible to get invited to perform at ̵M̵A̵I̵N̵S̵T̵R̵E̵A̵M̵, our renowned world-wide showcase events. 

4. If an artist performs at ̵M̵A̵I̵N̵S̵T̵R̵E̵A̵M̵, we create unique visuals for their set, professionally record it, and promote it on all major social media channels to maximize their exposure.

5. Artists that have become a Featured Artist by performing at ̵M̵A̵I̵N̵S̵T̵R̵E̵A̵M̵, gain access to other opportunities like interviews, bookings, collabs, remixes, and much more. All this without sacrificing their rights and creative freedom.

We reinvest 100% of all proceeds into artist development. No ownership, no hidden terms, just support that works.

    Our Story – Why we do it

    In the 20th century, the music industry exploded, giving rise to an ecosystem of managers, labels, bookers, and many others, who helped artists grow. But as music shifted to digital, revenues shrank, and intermediaries stopped investing in unproven talent.

    Today, the system is broken. The same artists dominate every platform, and new voices struggle to break through, not because of quality, but because of economics.

    That’s why we created the ELEVIN Foundation: to build a new path. One where artists can grow based on quality, resonance, and connection.

    It started with one artist, one playlist, and one goal: to prove that music can rise on merit. Today, it’s a movement, and it’s only getting louder.
