ReverbNation, part of BandLab, has stepped up its independent artist support offering with a new program fulll of helpful resources.

ReverbNation, a well-known platform supporting independent musicians, has introduced a new initiative called “Levels” under its parent company, BandLab. This exclusive, invitation-only programme is set to transform artist development by offering financial backing and essential resources.

“ReverbNation Levels” is more than just a simple support system – it’s a deeper, hands-on career growth opportunity that expands on ReverbNation’s existing distribution and promotional tools. Independent artists selected for the programme will gain access to a host of benefits, including marketing assistance, sponsorship opportunities, and financial advances, positioning them for greater success in the music industry.

BandLab’s CEO, Meng Ru Kuok, has highlighted the importance of evolving artist support mechanisms. ‘We want to step up what real artist support looks like today,’ he stated, emphasising the industry’s ongoing transformation. Kuok recognises that each artist’s journey is unique, and while some may collaborate with record labels, others choose to maintain their independence. ‘The industry is evolving and every artist’s path is different. In the same way we encourage and support our artists in partnering with record labels and established industry institutions, we also recognise that some artists prefer to remain independent,’ Kuok added.

This new “Levels” programme reflects BandLab’s commitment to levelling the playing field for artists, enabling them to thrive regardless of their chosen career path.
