The auditions are conducted online via our music publicity platforms including but not limited to our websites, blogs, online radio networks, online music and video promotion channels and professional networks. Our In-House A&R Team will also conduct their own review.

The auditions involve a series of intensive, targeted music promotion and publicity campaigns aimed at gaining maximum music publicity within a short period of time. It includes an online radio audience testing program that analyses how fans respond to new musicians and bands, and new music; and also takes into account how entertainment industry professionals, record labels, publishers and other music companies within our networks respond.
The audience response is used to assess the potential record sales, live event ticket sales, licensing opportunities, sponsorship opportunities and other opportunities the auditioning musician/band could potentially generate via our networks. In other words, if the audience responds positively to a musician/band's audition then we can guarantee more record sales, events bookings, licensing opportunities and other opportunities and ultimately, help further their careers because we would already know who is interested, where they are located, what they like, etc.
The auditions tell us what demographics we will be able to market a band to. They help us decide how much advance the auditioning musician/band may be offered upon acceptance onto our roster and also provide other important information that could contribute to or launch a successful music career. But above all, the auditions are a fun way to introduce music fans to new music from around the world and help musicians expose their music to a global audience.
