Information

Get your song translated and expand your audience with BELEM 🎶 The BELEM project is breaking new ground in making songs accessible across language barriers. With our final €3000 grant opportunity, we’re inviting artists, songwriters, publishers, and labels across Europe to have their work translated from and into multiple European languages for global distribution. 👉 Open Call for Lyric Translation and Adaptation We are looking for “bodies of work”, e.g. albums or EPs, even catalogs, for which lyrics can be translated to as many languages as the applicants would like. In parallel to a pool of translators applicants may choose from, we will provide our advanced BELEM Lyric Studio for AI-powered and human vetting if desired, translation from and into multiple languages. Translated lyrics will be inserted into the LyricFind platform for subsequent licensed distribution to Deezer, .MUSIC (new top level domain), BELEM.MUSIC and other digital platforms and music services. We are also soliciting translators with experience in translating lyrics to join our pool of translators which will then be made available to awarded songwriters and publishers as well as labels and artists. 👉 Open Call for Recording and Releasing of a Translated Song Artists and labels can record one or more translated versions of an existing and previously released song with all licenses from songwriters and publishers. All recordings will be distributed globally once released, along with their lyrics and - eventually - translations into different languages. Applicants can choose the distributor of their preference and - if needed - request BELEM to provide distribution options.
