Unsigned Only is introducing a brand new promotion called Network Now, accepting entries through April 11, 2022. The goal is to connect one really talented artist with an All-Star team of established music professionals who have a proven track record of success in the industry.
This is one of the best prize packages Unsigned Only has ever put together since launching over 10 years ago. Connecting with such high-profile executives like these is an unprecedented and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
