What is Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing?

ο»Ώο»ΏΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing was created in 2007 to support unsigned and undiscovered musicians.

We’ve brought all of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s supporters of unsigned music together under one brand to nurture and give great exposure to amazing new artists across the UK.

In 2009, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing Uploader was created allowing artists to upload their tracks for the attention of our family of local and national Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio shows.

ο»Ώο»ΏOur local shows pass on the very best tracks from their region to national stations and shows, including making suggestions for playlists on Radio 1 and 1Xtra and session slots at Maida Vale.

They also nominate artists for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing stages at the UK’s biggest music events and festivals. In 2013 alone, we have visited Derry-Londonderry, T in the Park, Reading and Leeds, Manchester Jazz Festival and Glastonbury.
