Artists who reside in the greater Detroit, MI metropolitan area. “Reside” means to live in that place for no fewer than nine months in the aggregate per calendar year.

Yes. As long as you are not signed to a record label you can apply.

The TIDAL Unplugged program is meant to reach artists that do not have the means or resources to pursue their passion therefore we will not consider artist’s that are signed to a record label.

Parents or legal guardians who meet the same criteria may submit on behalf of an artist under 18. See participation terms.

You can only submit one application per person.

Submissions will be accepted March 1, 2019 through April 9th, 2019.

The music submitted must be an acoustic performance of an artist’s original work or cover song.

As music is art, there is no exact science to determine when we will “feel” something, but we will know it when we hear that “it” factor. We listen for creativity, originality, catchiness and overall infectiousness of a song or the artist’s performance of a particular song.

Selected artists will receive notification once submissions have closed.
