ARTIST SUBMISSIONS

ARTIST FEATURES

  • We offer a range of ways to spotlight artists and events, depending on the project and fit:

    • Artist Spotlight: A short profile introducing your work, sound, and story to our readers.

    • Review: A write-up of your latest single, EP, or album, focusing on the music itself and its impact.

    • In-depth Feature / Interview: A longer article shaped around a conversation with you, exploring your journey, influences, and creative process.

    • Event Coverage: Coverage of a live performance, showcase, or event, often paired with professional photography.

    • Groove Home Sessions(Coming Soon): Stripped-back live performance videos directed and produced by Groove. You can register your interest now to be considered when sessions re-launch.

    • Tiny Mic Video Interviews: Short, energetic video interviews designed for social media platforms, where artists answer quick-fire questions and show their personality in a more playful format.

    Please note: Groove reserves the right to decide the best format for each artist feature. If you’ve requested a specific type that isn’t the right fit, we may suggest an alternative. 

  • We work with musicians, visual artists, producers, designers, photographers, managers and many other emerging creatives in the music industry.

    If you’re not sure whether your work fits into one of those categories, submit anyway - we’re always open to different mediums, approaches, and ways of telling a story!

  • We work on a rolling basis, so there’s no strict schedule, but new interviews, sessions, and stories will be shared regularly on our site and socials. Follow us @groovemagazine.co to stay in the loop.
