YouTube Foundry

YouTube’s independent artist development program, Foundry, is back for another year and has already welcomed its first three artists.

For nearly a decade, Foundry has been dedicated to giving independent artists the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive music landscape.

This year the program is expanding its global presence, bringing the opportunity to more artists in select markets.

To support developing artists at an even earlier stage of their careers, a program called Foundry Rising is also launching.

Foundry Rising offers micro-grants to early stage artists to help them activate their YouTube channels and grow.
