We’re looking for artists with bold ambitions and a clear vision for their project.
We’re looking for artists with bold ambitions and a clear vision for their project.
Every artist has a story to tell. Too many stay stuck in rehearsal. We’re here to fund the ones ready to hit the stage.
The Winamp Creators Program is a global launchpad for artists who want more than streams, likes, or crumbs. If you’ve got the vision, we’ve got the fuel: $15 000, mentorship from industry pros, studio sessions at Lab of Tomorrow (an initiative by TomorrowLand), real visibility, and a team that’s got your back every step of the way.
No borders. No gatekeepers. Just your music, pushed forward.
