Choose your genre
We currently offer seven different genres, but keep in mind our artists are true visionaries so they might be able to work in some genre-bending dreams if you’ve got ‘em.
Country - Three chords and the truth; music derived from or imitating the style of the Southern U.S, especially: popular vocal music characterized by simple harmonies, accompaniment by stringed instruments (such as guitar, fiddle, banjo, and pedal steel), repeated choruses, and narrative lyrics; emphasis on storytelling; sounds “American southern”; traditional country chord structures and progressions; idiomatic to traditional country styles as defined by famous country artists; traditional country production elements (steel guitar, dobro, fiddle, bends, slides, and all forms of twang); distinctive vocal delivery.
- Subgenres: southern rock, pop country, country crossover, outlaw country, traditional country, bluegrass
Singer-Songwriter - Covers a wide spectrum of stripped-down, self-accompanied music, typically with only a single acoustic guitar or piano; intimate; lyrics are deeply personal and utilize metaphors and analogies to accomplish detail-driven storytelling; the sound is typically sparse, direct, and reflective; material that brings you directly in touch with that person’s emotions; minimal instrumentation; emotional vocal delivery; emphasis on the strength of the song itself without needing much production to stand up.
- Subgenres: Mellow Gold, Tin Pan Alley Pop, Lilith, Americana
Acoustic Pop - Combines the catchy, memorable melodies and production techniques of pop music with acoustic instruments while maintaining an intimate and direct feel; hooky vocal chorus; polished pop melodies and vocal production; upbeat, catchy, top 40 style; driving energy; some sort of beat or pulse; needs to “sound” like a pop song but with way less production; should sound “familiar”.

Folk - Evolved from the 20th-century revival of traditional music in the 1960s and 1970s; acoustic-based music that spins everyday events and common people into mythic status; rustic vibes; more traditional instrumentation (mandolin, violin, ukulele, etc); rural, less emphasis on production quality; campfire-style; talkin’ blues.

Hip-Hop/Rap - Combinations of rapping/non-melodic singing (crooning) with rhythm-centric instrumentation; focus on hip-hop sampling and beats; emphasis on sampling/electronic instrumentation; rhythmic poetic vocals with an emphasis on cadence; strong hooks; thoughtful use of repetition; descriptive storytelling.
