Industry news & advice blog

Want your music to be featured on our Spotlight blog and radio show on Amazing Radio? Each month we champion the 5 best emerging tracks sent to us by our members. Not only that, we spread the word about our 5 selected songs to the music industry and music fans alike! We send a mailout to our 19,000 strong mailing list to spread the word about our current Spotlight picks. 

We also send your song onto a handpicked bunch of 40+ music industry professionals, ranging from managers, gig promoters, PR companies and labels to tastemaker blogs, radio stations and music publishers, who all agree to receive our Spotlight tracks every month and who guarantee to listen! 

How do I get featured on the Spotlight blog?
Our Spotlight blog is compiled every month from fresh new music submitted to us by our members. We want to hear from you! We select 5 of the best tracks from our members, so if you want to be in the running you’ll need to sign up to The Unsigned Guide then follow the instructions in your Welcome email to submit a track for Spotlight consideration to us. If you’re already a member and still not sure about how to submit your music for Spotlight, just give us a shout via our Contact page & we’ll help you out!

Members of The Unsigned Guide get access to our huge directory of over 8,600 UK music industry contacts. Find out more about the directory and the other services we provide to help emerging bands and artists here:
