Opportunity for NZ Independent Artists
 

Kia ora everyone,

Heart Music Group is looking for independent recording artists across Aotearoa with professionally recorded original music ​. We’re passionate about getting more local music heard in everyday spaces, and we’re opening up a small pilot programme to test direct retail licensing. This means licensing our music outside of the dominant APRA, RMNZ, licensing model.  We’re looking to take on 20-30 hardworking artists who already have high-quality recordings ready to go who are ready to stand with us and do things a bit differently. 
 

The Vision
 

When someone walks into a New Zealand shop, they shouldn’t hear just another generic overseas playlist.
They should hear Aotearoa’s own music, your music. 
 

What You’ll Get
 

• Paid opportunity: If your music is placed, you’ll receive licensing payments directly.

• You keep all of your rights and have full control of your music outside of  the retail and background music licensing we are doing.

• Clear terms: You’ll see the full agreement before signing anything.

We already have Barkers Menswear on board, and we’ll be building more retail partners as we go.

How to Apply
 

Send your submission here with links to your music. Spotify or YouTube profiles are fine.
Your music will only be used for consideration for this project, and we’ll get in touch if there’s a match.

Let’s get more NZ music playing in the places we live, work, and shop.

Ngā mihi,
Heart Music Group
