Nettwerk Music Group announces an exciting new partnership with Music BC’s ARC Program, the intensive accelerator program that highlights and nurtures 10-15 diverse voices annually across British Columbia. This partnership amplifies the ARC program’s guidance and mentorship by offering additional tools and market access to help these emerging artists build sustainable and successful careers.
For the next three years, Nettwerk is adding a robust new layer to the ARC program – an opportunity to leverage Nettwerk’s direct access to DSPs and social media properties across the globe to assist in fast-tracking audience development. This will allow ARC participants to engage potential global audiences and cultivate new listeners into lifelong fans.
Nettwerk President & COO Simon Mortimer-Lamb says, “At Nettwerk, we believe deeply in the value of the independent music sector in fostering innovation and elevating exceptional talent. We are passionate about investing in artists who dare to dream big. Partnering with Music BC’s ARC Program celebrates Nettwerk’s unwavering commitment to helping unsigned Canadian talent find their places on the world stage and build a lasting legacy in the music industry.”
Lindsay MacPherson, Executive Director, Music BC adds, “We couldn’t be more excited to have Nettwerk join forces with the ARC Program. With an undeniable track record and a long-standing commitment to artist development, Nettwerk has helped shape the careers of countless artists on the global stage. It speaks volumes that they recognize the impact of our work through ARC to empower emerging talent in our own backyard. Together, we’re strengthening the foundation for B.C.’s next wave of artists to connect with new audiences and cultivate lifelong fans.”
