Automated A&R scouting

Get to tomorrow’s artists first.

SOUNDAR scouts your genres every day, finds the artists on the rise and asks them for demos from your label’s email. Demos come in on their own: no more hours of digging, just new music from artists your competition hasn’t found yet.

01 · How it works

Set your sound once. SOUNDAR does the rest.

  1. ● STEP 01

    Tell us what you sign

    Your genres, your markets, how big an artist should be. Running sub-labels? Give each one its own radar.

  2. ● STEP 02

    The radar runs every morning, in your time zone

    It tracks streaming growth, playlist adds and social buzz, and flags the artists picking up speed in your lane.

  3. ● STEP 03

    Artists get contacted for you

    A personal demo request from your label’s email, naming their latest release. On Autopilot, or approve each one.

  4. ● STEP 04

    Demos arrive, ready to play

    Artists upload straight to you through a private link. No transfers, no attachments. Just press play.

02 · Inside SOUNDAR

From the first signal to a signed artist, in one place.

THE RADAR

Your genres, scanned every day.

Pick your genres and markets, or give each sub-label its own radar. Only artists who fit your sound and are already growing make the list, so every demo starts above the bar of an open inbox.

Loved “Delay” – Selva Discos demo inquiry

Hi Vowed,

“Delay” has been on repeat here this week. We’re always looking for new music at Selva Discos, and I’d love to hear what you’re working on next.

If you have unreleased tracks, you can send them here: soundar.app/d/vowed

Questions

Where does the artist data come from?+

From Soundcharts, a licensed music data provider tracking streaming, playlists, charts and social platforms. SOUNDAR turns that into a short list of who’s rising in your genres.

What do the invites look like?+

A short, personal note from your label’s address, in your words. SOUNDAR writes each email for you, with the artist’s name and latest release. When you contact an artist yourself, you can change every word before it goes. Autopilot sends it as written.

Is my label’s data private?+

Yes. Your data and your demos are stored in the EU, never sold, and never shown to another label. The few services we use are listed on our Sub-processors page. Artists already on your roster are never contacted.

How many artists get contacted?+

Up to 5 new artists a day on Scout, 10 on Pro and 20 on Max, across all your genres. That keeps every invite personal and out of spam folders, and you can send each one by hand if you prefer.

How do you make sure artists aren’t spammed?+

Your plan sets how many invites go out each day, by hand or on Autopilot. Each one is a short, personal email from your label’s own address, like one you’d type. No automatic reminders: your label only writes again after 3 months, and only if the artist has released something new. Across all labels on SOUNDAR, an artist gets at most one invite every 72 hours, and one click on “Don’t contact me again” means your label never writes to them again.

We run several sub-labels. Can SOUNDAR scout for all of them?+

Yes: up to 2 radars on Pro and 3 on Max, one per genre or imprint, each with its own criteria. Demos land in one inbox, filterable by radar.

Does my team need their own accounts?+

To review the shortlist, no. Share a private link and they can listen, vote and comment straight away.

I’m already a SOUNDAR label. Where do I sign in?+

Right here: log in to your label. You’ll find the same link at the top of every page.
