Street GRRRL operates through the GRRRL Music Discord server. Join the Discord (link in the site header), introduce yourself in the Street GRRRL channel, and the team will help you get started. There is no application fee.

GRRRL Music's mission is to champion women, non-binary and women-led artists in independent music. That focus shapes the roster and the playlists. Allies, collaborators and mixed-gender bands with women in core roles are absolutely part of the community.

GRRRL Music is an independent music platform that discovers, curates, distributes and champions emerging women-led independent artists. Founded by two music-obsessed women, GRRRL Music runs weekly New Music Friday playlists, distributes artists to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and YouTube, produces a podcast and reaction series, and supports the Street GRRRL live-music photography community.

Street GRRRL is the GRRRL Music live-music photography community. It's a network of women photographers who shoot independent and emerging artists from the front row at concerts and festivals. The community lives day-to-day on Discord, where photographers share work, get on guest lists, and connect with the GRRRL Music team.

GRRRL Music was founded and is run by two independent women in music who believed the best emerging artists weren't getting the attention they deserved. The team handpicks every artist on the roster and every track on the playlists – nothing is algorithmic.

No. All interactive community discussion happens on the GRRRL Music Discord server. The website links out to Discord but does not host comments, forums, or community posting itself. This keeps the community in one active place rather than splitting it across platforms.

GRRRL Music helps independent artists get their music onto every major streaming platform – Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music and more – and then actively promotes them through GRRRL's curated playlists, social channels, podcast, and reaction videos. Distribution and roster placement are by invitation after listening to submissions; we do not charge artists upfront fees to be on the roster.

Yes. The official GRRRL Music store is on the website at /category/all-products and stocks tees, prints and accessories. Buying merch directly supports the platform and the independent artists it works with.

You can submit your music using the official Submit Music form linked at the top of every page on grrrlmusic.com. The form is hosted on Airtable and asks for your artist name, links to your music, and a short bio. The team listens to every submission, but cannot reply to every artist individually.

GRRRL Music releases a new New Music Friday playlist every Friday, plus monthly best-of round-ups. Discovery videos, reaction videos and podcast episodes drop throughout the week on YouTube.

GRRRL Music is on YouTube (two channels – the main channel and the dedicated playlists channel), Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and Discord. Direct links to all platforms live in the header and footer of every page on grrrlmusic.com.

Yes. Every GRRRL Music playlist – including New Music Friday – is free to stream on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal. There is no paid tier. The best way to support the project is to follow the playlists, share new artists, and subscribe to the GRRRL Music YouTube channels.
