New Artist Spotlight
New Artist Spotlight (NAS) is an international online network providing support to artists who released independent music on audio streaming platforms. Since its foundation in 2020, the New Artist Spotlight has grown into a group of hundreds of artists from around the world promoting their music through social media, featured interviews, song reviews, and a weekly Top 20 chart. NAS follows a non-profit concept and is run by dozens of volunteers. History. New Artist Spotlight was founded in May 2020 by musician Ed Eagle, who realized that independent musicians don't have a platform where they  can present themselves or have their music promoted for free. He decided to create such platform providing various supportive features to artists, as well as curate various playlists on all major streaming services including Deezer, iTunes, Spotify and YouTube. Independent artists answer a given set of 10 questions allowing them to introduce their background, musical aspiration and career plans. Charles Connolly selects a newly released song from a member artist and writes a review covering lyrics, composition and/or recording techniques. Origin Crxss and Wilko Wilkes interview a member artist and publish the podcast on YouTube. NAS features.
