Upstream / The inside track

Your music deserves real ears.

The people, the process, the timing, and the price. Everything you need to know about getting your music heard with purpose.

01 The people

A human point of view.

Vetted music professionals.

Who reviews my music?

People who know what it means to make music.

Why not ask friends?

Friends don’t always tell the truth. “This is fire” is easier to say than “this needs work.” They don’t want to hurt your feelings, but that won’t help you grow. Our professionals are verified by us and are also artists who understand what’s needed for a successful project release.

Your music goes to a professional, and the feedback comes back with clear next steps.
