Another great week in the wraps. I’ve had a chance to meet with some of you lately and I’m really thankful for the support & feedback. Thanks 🫶

This week we picked artists with less than 100K monthly listeners so their potential for growth is even greater. Scroll all the way down for the full playlist.

If you work in A&R, with brands or at a talent agency — we can customize SONAR’s predictions to your scouting or marketing strategy. Reach out to learn more.
