However, we sometimes use third parties to provide services on our behalf, for example independent producers who make programmes for us. Other services are available that can help you collect any royalties you are owed.Īs per the BBC's Privacy Policy, we will keep all your information confidential and generally we will only use your information within the BBC.
It won't affect your chances of being played if you're not. Just to be clear, you don't need to be a member of PRS for Music to upload your music to BBC Music Introducing. For the same reason, we request the name of the songwriter(s) for every track you upload. If you have one, telling us your PRS for Music ID number (also known as a CAE number) will make it simpler for us to tell PRS for Music what royalties you are owed if your tracks get broadcast. The Artist Name, Postcode, Genre, contact email address and connection to local area fields are mandatory, but all others are optional. Some of the information you provide might therefore be read out on air if you get broadcast, so make sure it's up to date. You can tell us as much or as little as you like, but bear in mind it helps our DJs and producers get a feel for who you are and what you're all about. This is your opportunity to tell us about yourself, your band and your music. When you create your Introducing artist Profile, there are a number of fields for you to fill out. How are artists chosen for the BBC Music Introducing slot on the Radio 1 and 1Xtra Playlists? So if you do make to one of our stages you can see that before even playing you will have hit the radar of some pretty big names in the industry. At some events, we also take suggestions for artists from the festival promoters and local organisations. They all listen, send us their top rated artists and from this we get our final line-up. These vary from festival to festival but previous panel members include: Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Emily Eavis, Gary Lightbody, Head of Music at Radio 1, Head of BBC Music Introducing. We then get a panel to listen to all the suggestions and decide upon the final line-up. So if you haven't already uploaded your tracks to BBC Music Introducing, do it now! We treat each stage individually, so producers and presenters can tailor their suggestions depending on the festival.

These suggestions represent who they see as the hottest artists from their patch at that time and is normally representative of the tracks they are playing on their shows, many of which are submissions that have been uploaded via the Introducing Uploader. The line-ups are chosen via suggestions from all of the BBC Music Introducing shows across the BBC. Not only might you get the opportunity to play the festival but we also aim to record and film your set for broadcast across BBC Radio, online and TV. The BBC Music Introducing Stages at festivals throughout the UK are there to give aspiring new bands and artists the opportunity to play at some of the biggest festivals in the UK and sometimes internationally!
