“We have a theory –

If exceptional artists are able to dedicate just one year to creating and promoting their work around the world, they will put themselves in the best position to reach their highest potential and achieve their version of success.

World Tour Year is a pathway for indie artists to grow their brands in up to 12 countries around the world, spending at least 1 month in each country for one year.

Through a network of partnerships, we will provide resources for lodging, travel, performing, creating, and promoting – allowing artists the opportunity to do what they do best, inspire and connect with the people they reach.”

This Is Not a Talent Show. We’re not a label.

we don’t manage your career.

This Is an artist Accelerator.

World Tour Year is designed for independent artists who already have momentum and want to reach global audiences.

Artists selected for the pilot will:

  • Live abroad for extended stays

  • Perform for new audiences

  • Collaborate with local creatives

  • Document their journey through a travel-meets-music series

This program amplifies work ethic and consistency — it does not replace them.

Pilot structure and destinations will be finalized with selected artists.

WE PROVIDE UNSIGNED ARTISTS W/ INTERNATIONAL TOUR SUPPORT

  • World Tour Year covers 100% of lodging costs, providing safe, comfortable shared housing during the pilot season. Living alongside fellow artists creates built-in community, collaboration, and cultural exchange—so your focus stays on creating, performing, and exploring.

  • World Tour Year lowers the cost of international travel so independent artists can perform, create, and grow globally. As we build airline and lodging partnerships, our pilot program covers 50% of flight costs, making world travel more accessible from day one.

  • World Tour Year actively supports artists by identifying and arranging performance and collaboration opportunities in each destination. Artists are also encouraged to book independently through networking, community immersion, and creative exploration—maximizing both exposure and experience.

  • World Tour Year helps facilitate partnerships with local venues, brands, and creative communities in each destination. Artists are also encouraged to build their own relationships on the ground—turning authentic connections into long-term opportunities.

  • We help amplify your story.
    World Tour Year supports artists with marketing strategy, creative ideation, and select promotional assets. While artists lead their own content creation and promotion, we help sharpen the message and maximize reach along the way.

  • We prepare you to move with purpose.
    World Tour Year provides cultural intelligence training to help artists navigate new communities respectfully and confidently. From local norms to creative etiquette, we equip artists to integrate smoothly, build genuine relationships, and represent themselves with awareness wherever they land.
