IGNITE
Where musicians team up, create together, and take the stage
IGNITE is a collaboration competition platform where musicians around the world form teams online, complete one original track, and have it evaluated through community public voting. Producers, vocalists, rappers, songwriters, lyricists, session musicians and sound engineers discover each other's portfolios, find partners, and create new music together.
For creators who felt limited making and sharing music alone, IGNITE is a stage to expand a global network and meet new fans and collaboration opportunities.
