No. New York channels feature artists from across the United States and internationally. While some focus on filming local sessions, many accept remote submissions and prioritize quality over location. Hip-hop, indie, and electronic channels are especially open to artists from anywhere.

New York channels cover hip-hop, indie rock, electronic, jazz, R&B, and punk, reflecting the city's legendary musical diversity. From the Bronx's rap heritage to Brooklyn's indie boom and Manhattan's jazz legacy, channels embrace both classic sounds and hybrid experiments. Channels like AudioTree and Vevo DSCVR have filmed sessions capturing the city's genre-blending energy. Many curators actively seek artists pushing boundaries between styles.

On Groover, YouTube channels have 7 days to respond. If they don't reply, you get your credits back, so you never waste time waiting.
