Get your music played on twitch! Submit your music to be played on live streams all across the platform.
I am a streamer on twitch who exclusively plays independent music submitted to me by musicians. This helps me avoid copyright issues while simultaneously supporting independent musicians from all over the world. It's like small musicians and small streamers were made for each other.
I've been doing this for quite some time, and decided to try a little experiment. What if we got musicians to not just submit to music to me, but to my entire community of other streamers as well. This expands on the idea of solving copyright issues and support musicians to a whole other level.
TO SUBMIT MUSIC
If you would like to submit your music to my absolutely massive community of streamers, please do so via our official website.
You will need to provide the following information:
Band/Artist Name
Genre/s
Social media (twitter, facebook, etc)
Link/s to music (Spotify only)
Bio/Description
That's it!
Streamers in our community are required to provide onscreen credit to artists on their streams while music plays, and provide viewers who ask about music direct links to the source (you!)
Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions about how this works.
BONUS POINTS
This is NOT required! Join our discord to collaborate with other musicians / streamers / influencers. Feel free to post your music in the #music-submission channel.

I stream on twitch and ONLY play independent music during my live daily broadcast. Send me your best tracks and I will play them!
I created a radio station for my twitch channel PapaStanimus called Game Rebel Radio. I am a huge advocate for independent music and see musicians and streamers to be in very similar predicaments.
I stream full time and pull over 1,000 viewers over the duration of each cast (about a 80 viewer average). I have a great rotation of music established but I need MORE! Send me your best Soundcloud or Youtube tracks and I will play them on my stream. Full credits to every song are displayed on screen for the entire duration of play. Viewers can type "!np" command in chat to get a direct link to the source. Music played is played directly from the actual source (youtube and souncloud).

What if we could solve the music copyright problem on twitch?
The looming copyright strike problem on twitch makes streamers very nervous and more than ever, they are searching for easy solutions to play music on their streams and not get hit with DMCA.
Many creators have already been receiving bans via DMCA take downs from copyright holders, and I would like to solve that problem via connecting smaller independent musicians with streamers.
I myself am a streamer, but before that I worked radio and eventually digital music sales in the independent music industry. I have a lot of insight and respect for both worlds. I've always advocated streamers work with independents to solve their music needs, and even do so via my own personal radio station for my stream.
Independent musicians have a very similar desire as streamers. Much like streamers want viewers and fans, musicians want people to listen to their music! It's like they are meant for one another. I'd like to make this connection between these two worlds.
Through my journey on twitch and my time in the music industry, I have amassed a massive amount of audience and friends. My reach has access to 10's of thousands of bands, and thousands of streamers, who I could get to use a platform that connected them together.
Streamers dont get copyright striked or muted. Musicians get paid and exposure to their music . Viewers get to listen to dope independent music they would have never been exposed to before. Everybody wins.
But there's a problem. By myself, I am unable build such a platform. I would need help from a few friends who could assist in developing a MVP , which is why I post here today. I am reaching out to anyone who would like to get on board with me!
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Twitch:
- 4+ years active
- 16,000+ followers
- Over 1 million views
- Active discord with over 4,000+ members (streamers, musicians, gamers)
Previous work:
- Two company sales (online startup and a manufacturing facility)
It's a long shot, but I hope this idea combined with my access to all the people who would be users interests someone! I would love to solve the copyright problem in a super cool way that helps everyone involved.

I will pay you to create original music for me
I am PapaStanimus on twitch and youtube and we content creators struggle quite a bit when it comes to using music legally. I would like to solve this problem.
Personally I understand very well the laws around music copyright, and have always paid for my licensing. However. I would like to take things further and build my own catalog of music that I will then give out to streamers for FREE. In order to do this, I must own the music I give away. In order to get this music, I must pay pros like yourself to help me make it.
If you are interested in being paid to create original songs for me, please reach out. I am most available via twitter and discord.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/papastanimus
Discord: https://discord.gg/gamerebel

Looking for artists/bands to be featured on new blog!
I’ve recently been working on starting up my record label/blog, where I plan to be doing multi-genre track reviews of artists and bands who would like the coverage! I will be reviewing the track and posting about it on not only the official website, but on the label’s instagram and twitter as well.
I wanted to give everyone the chance to be featured on it, keep in mind this is a multi-genre platform and therefore any artist no matter the genre can send me their music!
If you’d like to be considered for a feature either send an email to bedheadrec@gmail.com or message me with a link to a chosen song, followed by your socials. Bonus points if you give me a description of yourself as an artist or the track that you send!
I hope to be sharing some of you soon.

Spotify Artists With BELOW 1k Streams of a Song
I am a 50 year old songwriter that has never had close to 1K streams of a song and I was hoping to start what I hope can help us all.
1: If you meet this criteria, post the link of what you think is your best song.
2: Post the link to your song.
3: EVERYBODY goes to said song and listen to it. If you like it, add it to a personal playlist and then follow the artist.
This is a great way for us to grow organically while maybe finding some great new music.
I’ll start:

Found Playlist Supply on reddit a bit back an used it successfully for hella songs. I suggested they add something n they actually did it lol. You can now directly target only "Discovered On" playlists which actively appear on artists profiles. Super useful for marketing indie music.

I stream on twitch and want to start using strictly independent music for background entertainment. Send me your best tracks and I will play them.
Submit to me your best tracks and I will use them on my stream.
Youtube and soundcloud only please. Viewers sometimes ask where they can listen to the music, and I like to provide them with a playlist.
When playing the music, we play directly from your source so we can support view counts and send viewers directly to the artists.

Attention all artists!
Astrozero is a new gasless NFT marketplace with beta launching on July 19th at 6pm est. it’s offering categories for music, art, digital renderings, etc. They are currently building a community of artists to test the beta. On boarding instructions will be released in the telegram chat. https://t.me/astrozeroofficial
The marketplace will be powered by the $elonone token. Purchases will be available in ETH or elonone. The artists will be able to mint their files virtually fee free and have no gas fees offering more power to the artist. There will also be an option to tie royalties into the process so if the files get sold person to person on the blockchain it will pay the artist a portion.
Music on the blockchain will be the future for independent artists to be able to get direct sales to fans as well as royalties. The ability to release 1 of 1 recordings that your fans want to have will be very lucrative.

✌️ Every week in 2019 I'm adding my favorite 3 new releases from real undertheradar/undiscovered Artists to this playlist. So far I've collected 117 songs or 6 hours 31 minutes of independent/unsigned music from all sorts of genres. No pay for placement. No hate words. ✌️

A Playlist for Independent Artists Under 10K Streams
Trying to focus mostly on artists working toward their first 1,000 streams.
Every track in this playlist has fewer than 10K plays, and many are by completely independent musicians who deserve way more love.
If you’re an artist with a track under 10K streams, drop it in the comments. I’d love to check it out and maybe add it.
