Why sign with an Indie, Hip-Hop, or Electronic Record Label in 2025?

Independent & genre-specific labels are signing fresh talent

Indie, hip-hop, and electronic record labels are actively scouting for new artists who bring something fresh to the scene. Unlike major labels, these companies focus on artist development, giving you more creative control while still providing the industry connections needed to grow your career.

Submitting your music the right way makes all the difference

Get discovered & increase your chances of signing a deal

Whether you’re an indie artist, a rapper, or an electronic music producer, getting signed in 2025 is about reaching the right people at the right time. By submitting your music to labels looking for new artists, you maximize your exposure and open doors to career-changing opportunities.

How to submit your music to labels & get heard

Choose the right record label for your music

Not all labels are the same—indie, hip-hop, and electronic labels each have their own style and vision. Research labels that align with your sound and look for those actively scouting new artists. A good fit increases your chances of getting signed.

Prepare your best tracks & submission materials

First impressions matter. Make sure your music is professionally mixed and mastered before submitting. Have a strong artist bio, press photos, and social media links ready. Labels want to see a complete artist, not just a song.

Submit your music directly & get feedback

Cold emailing demos rarely works. The best way to reach labels looking for new artists is through platforms like Groover, where labels and A&Rs are actively listening to new talent. Get guaranteed feedback and maximize your chances of landing a deal.
