Unchained Music’s Core tier requires an application to ensure the authenticity and genuine nature of the artists we support. Our vetting process focuses on the "realness" of the artist, prioritizing their true passion for music, their genuine connection with their audience, and their commitment to their craft instead of judging metrics of musical quality. We look for artists who demonstrate a strong, authentic presence in their music. This approach allows us to cultivate a community of sincere and dedicated musicians, creating a space where genuine artistry thrives.
