Tell Me About Youtube Foundry:

Launched in 2015, Foundry is YouTube Music’s global artist development programme serving the independent music community and allowing artists access to resources to help them thrive on YouTube and build careers on their own terms.

Last year, YouTube Music selected Nigerian singer Bella Shmurda and 26 other musicians from 14 countries. The singer joined fellow Nigerians Rema and Tems who have participated in the programme in the past.

“Foundry celebrates artists, their courage and reduces barriers to entry,” YouTube said. “This group of artists are driving their careers forward as independents, building communities that allow them the freedom to grow on their own terms. We are so proud to spotlight and play a part in developing indie talent, and will continue supporting these artists every step of the way.”

Foundry alumni include more than 150 artists from 15 countries, such as English singer Dua Lipa, South Korean pop rocker Sam Kim, Norwegian pop singer-songwriter Girl in Red, French rapper Lean Chihiro, Japanese artist Sanari and Haitian DJ and producer Michael Brun.

Who can apply for Youtube Foundry?

If you are a developing independent artist who will be distributing official music to YouTube during the Foundry Class of 2022 term (July 2022 – December 2022), then we’d love for you to apply. Artists can be considered independent when they drive their careers forward on their own behalf, and work with indie labels and distribution partners. Artists signed directly to major labels are not eligible for Foundry.

How are Applicants Selected?

We hope to inform artists selected for the Class of 2022 by no later than July. Applicants will be told that their application has been successful via email. If you are not selected for funding, don’t fret! This is an ongoing program, so there will be more opportunities to apply to participate in the program in years to come.
