They say music is a universal language, yet artists in New Zealand know that opportunity and success have largely been found overseas. With the return of events, we aim to encourage more venues to hire local talent by giving promoters and venue owners direct links to artists, both new and old.
We aim to level the field and have new artists easily discoverable while giving season veterans a platform for releases and more material than they have had in a single place.
In its creation, we become a toolkit for promoters of all shapes and sizes. We want to see local talent booked across Aotearoa in everything from cafes and corporate events to International festival features. Providing everything a promoter will need to put together incredible lineups, we aim to have artists paid for their craft.
BackedByPeople removes ‘the’ because this is not about ‘anyone’. BackedByPeople is a collective, supporting each other through each other’s success. The aim is to hero artists, events and other music industry participants by telling their stories, showcasing their work and having them booked.
NEW ZEALAND IS HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE TALENT THAT HAS EVER EXISTED. WHILE OUR NATURE IS TO PLAY THINGS DOWN BACKEDBYPEOPLE IS HERE TO LIFT YOU UP. DISCOVER, CONTRIBUTE AND PROMOTE. BACKEDBYPEOPLE IS FOR ARTISTS AND CREATIVES TO BE FOUND AND CELEBRATED.
