The East Hollywood establishment El Cid saw a packed house and amazing music performances.
For years, ROSTR has catalyzed music industry deals. Whether an artist is looking for publishing, a manager wants to expand their client list, or anything in between, their platform is the hub for it all. With a firm mission to put the power in the artist's hands, the platform has served as a marketplace where artists can announce they are open to representation, leverage offers from companies to score the best deal possible, and be celebrated for their new or ongoing partnerships in the industry.
ROSTR has brought that intention to life with their first-ever EARLY showcase, where four up-and-coming artists, Bruvvy, PAMÉ, Alex Bone & Kinder, performed to a crowd of seasoned industry professionals at El Cid in Los Angeles.
"When we conceived of EARLY we wanted to create an opportunity - both online and live - where we could get great artists in front of the kinds of professionals who can help them take the next steps in their career. With hundreds of agents, promoters, A&Rs and brands in attendance - as well as hundreds of thousands of eyeballs online - we're excited to see the relationships that come out of EARLY's debut" says Mark Williamson, Co-Founder and CEO, ROSTR.
In partnership with Bandsintown, and with help from sponsors Please & Thank You, Believe Music Publishing, beatBread & BMI, the showcase debuted last Thursday to hundreds of industry professionals and decision makers.
“Massive thanks to everyone who came out last Thursday for the debut of our showcase series EARLY,” ROSTR shared on Instagram. “And a very special thank you to the incredible artists who put on superb performances that made the night unforgettable.”
