The process

How StageLift
works.

Three steps from unknown artist to monthly spotlight. No algorithm, no guesswork — just your music and a fair shot.

The process

Simple, transparent,
built for artists.

We actually listen

Every submission gets a real human listen. No algorithm, no bot, no auto-reject. Our team evaluates quality, originality, and potential — then makes a monthly selection.

03 🔦

Full month spotlight

One artist wins a complete showcase page with embedded music player, full bio, social links, and Artist of the Month recognition. Real visibility for a full 30 days.

Questions

Everything you
need to know.

All genres are welcome. Hip-hop, indie, pop, electronic, R&B, folk, metal, jazz, country — if it's good, we want to hear it. We curate on quality and originality, not genre.
$5 per submission. No monthly fees, no subscriptions, no hidden charges. The small fee ensures every submission is a genuine attempt — and keeps the quality of the pool high for everyone.
Real human curation. Every submission gets a genuine listen from someone who cares about music. We evaluate based on quality, originality, and potential — not algorithms, not follower counts, not how much you spend on promotion.
A full month of featured placement on the StageLift showcase: dedicated artist page with embedded music player (SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music), complete bio, all your social links, the Artist of the Month badge, and social media amplification to our audience.
Yes. Each month is a fresh opportunity. If you weren't selected this round, you're welcome to submit again — same track or a new one. Every submission competes on its own merits.
