What is Elevator Music?
It’s a podcast built to do two things:
- Share honest, career-shaping conversations with people across the music world
- Champion emerging artists with meaningful exposure and real support
Each week, we feature a guest — from artists and producers to techs, promoters and label insiders — and talk through the decisions that shaped their path. Alongside that, we handpick songs submitted by grassroots artists that fit the guest’s world and use them to spark conversation and feedback.
We don’t charge artists to submit.
We don’t gatekeep.
We don’t exploit.
And with the right kind of sponsor, we want to go even further.
Where the Money Goes
We’re not here to get rich off the backs of hardworking and sometimes struggling musicians. It's not healthy for the scene, and at the end of the day, we don't have a show without their art.
Once our running costs for a given episode are covered — 100% of the sponsor money for that episode will be split between the bands we feature that week.
That means your sponsorship directly helps fund the very artists we’re platforming. You’re not just buying ad space. You’re helping pay artists who often give everything and get very little in return. We plan to publish the average amounts paid to artists once we get to this stage to show others how it's done.
Why Partner With Us?
We’re just getting started — but we’re not starting small.
We’re already recording with a range of respected guests from across the music world, and our mission is resonating with the exact audience many brands want to reach:
- DIY musicians
- Live crews and creatives
- Passionate, loyal fans
- People tired of the industry’s empty noise, and ready to hear something real
Your brand can help us amplify that mission.
We’re always open to partnerships that feel good on both sides, if your charity wants to come in and take vacant space until it gets filled for free please be our guest.
