Tidal’s Spotlight program highlights and supports emerging independent artists who upload their music by giving them playlist placement, visibility, and opportunities for cash awards. After months of highlighting these artists inside Tidal, we wanted to bring them together IRL. The idea is simple: gather independent artists who’ve been Spotlighted and create space to connect over conversation, a meal, and music. This all started in NYC with our first Supper Club. What began as a casual gathering quickly turned into something else entirely, with impromptu performances taking over the room by the end of the night. A reminder that when you put artists together, the music finds its way out. More recently, we brought the Spotlight Supper Club to LA. The West Coast carried that energy in a big way. So much soul and sound in one place. Hearing the night through the artists’ POV made it even more special. Community is everything. More of this to come. Upload 📀 tidal.com/upload

If you make music, or know someone who does, this is for you. Tidal Upload lets artists share tracks directly to Tidal, privately with collaborators or publicly with listeners. No hoops to jump through. Just upload your music and be in the mix for playlist features, artist programs, and opportunities to make money. That’s exactly how the Tidal Upload Headliners Contest started. We asked independent artists to upload their music. Thousands and thousands did. Our Editorial team listened to every track and selected 10 artists to each receive $100K. $1 million total. Zero strings attached. All to support their careers and build on their momentum. The winners: Annisse • astor walk • Brett Sheroky • Felix Ames • Lily Amiclo • Michi Sanz • Mo J. Simpson • Nnena • Sloane Simon • TOP MEECH “It’s a different trajectory now because ownership is the way to build a business.” — Felix Ames This is what investing in artists actually looks like. And it all starts with an upload. 📀 Listen to the winning tracks: https://lnkd.in/eXU38-W9 📀 Upload your music in 60 seconds: tidal.com/upload https://lnkd.in/e78dPATw
