why artists submit music on nero

quick answer

Artists submit on Nero to get their music heard by creators and the people watching them, get feedback, and find opportunities for their music. That can mean new listeners, a connection with a label, or prize money. You can also buy and share a clip of the review when the host offers it.

01

get your music in front of their audience

When a host plays your song on stream, the people watching hear it too. They get to hear the music and see someone's actual reaction to it.

You can submit to artists, producers, and music reviewers on Nero, including creators like Futuristic and Sonny Digital. Find someone who listens to the kind of music you make and watch a little of their stream before submitting.

02

this has changed people's lives

Artists on Nero have grown their Spotify monthly listeners 10x. Others have signed with record labels or won thousands of dollars in prize money. Those are opportunities that can change someone's life.

03

get feedback before your next release

You can send an unreleased track as a file or submit a link to something you've already put out. A producer might point out something in the mix. An artist might have a take on your hook or delivery. You get to hear what they notice while the song is playing.

You don't have to agree with every note. But hearing someone outside your usual circle react can help you decide what to change and what to keep.

04

post the review with your music

For hosts with auto-clipping enabled, you can buy a clip of their reaction to your song. You can download it and share it on your own pages.

Post the clip with your artist name, track title, and a link to the full song. Someone who missed the stream can still hear the track and see the review. You have something from the session to use when you're promoting the release.

05

talk to the person reviewing your track

Hosts can invite you onto Nero Stage for a live video call. You can talk about the song, ask about a piece of feedback, or explain what you were trying to do.

The host chooses who joins. Buying a skip doesn't automatically get you a call.

06

where nero fits into your release

You still use a music distributor to put your release on Spotify and Apple Music. Nero is where you can bring that song to a creator's stream, hear their feedback, and get a review clip to share when it's available.

07

pick a session and check the price

Open Discover, choose a host, and check what they're reviewing. Send your link or file, pick a tier, and submit. You don't need to create an account.

Some sessions have free submissions. Paid tiers can move your song up the queue. Check the session rules and how much time is left before paying. You're paying for the submission or queue priority, not a guaranteed cosign, playlist placement, or record deal.
