Record Store Day Unsigned Competition

Record Store Day Unsigned invites emerging unsigned musicians to showcase their music by submitting a 2-minute sample of their original work to TikTok or YouTube using the #RSDUnsigned hashtag. To finalise the submission artists will then need to complete the submission form here: https://www.breedmedia.co.uk/rsd-unsigned/ before 16th October.

The nationwide contest is a unique opportunity for one unsigned artist to have their music pressed onto 500 vinyl records, pressed using ‘Bio-Vinyl’ (this uses a new more sustainable but acoustically identical vinyl compound). On top of that, the winner will be invited to a mastering session at Abbey Road Studios, supported by RSD official partner Bowers and Wilkins.

The winning artist will also be given the chance to perform at KEY Production Group’s 33 1/3 birthday party in a legendary London venue in November. This performance will expose the winner to a unique audience of industry executives and music fans.

A panel of music industry experts have also been assembled to judge the competition and listen to the music submitted, these include:

·       Dan Smith – Lead Singer, Bastille

·       Eva Davies – Artist and Label Manager, Come Play with Me

·       Karen Emanuel – CEO, Key Production Group

·       Martin Black – Record Store Owner, Spinning Discs

·       Nadia Khan – Women in CTRL Founder
