iNDIE aRTISTS…
you don’t NEED a RECORD LABEL TO GO ON a world TOUR.
Build a Global Audience. Do It Independently.
“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.”
