About Me

Urban-Unsigned.com is due to launch in 2008. It is a non-profit website that aims to showcase, review and provide a portal for up and coming UK Urban artists.

The team behind Urban-Unsigned.com work within the UK Music industry in roles varying from A&R, Marketing to Finance, Royalties and Promotions. Our team collectively have extensive experience working for small scale productions houses, indie labels and for the 4-majors.

The Team have been brought together in an organic manner and have been prompted into action with the realisation that UK record labels have seemed to fail in catering for homegrown urban talent. With our current experiences within the music industry we've witnessed high quality talent slip through the net and fail to get the representation they genuinely need and the support their natural talent demands. For this to be a rare and infrequent case can be put down to bad luck but the fact of the matter is, is that A&R and representation in general owe a duty of care to the artists they sign but this on numerous occasions just does not seem to be the case.

UK HEATSEEKER TRACK:

Adele - Hometown Glory [Live]

We are indeed promoting our UK artists but we'd love to hear from all kinds of Urban Music fans and artists from all over the world. We'll be having a section on Urban-Unsigned.com which will have features and interviews of newly signed artists and so we'd really appreciate hearing from record labels, A&R and from artists themselves. The guys and girls in the office will all have access to this MySpace account and so will be checking it regularly throughout the week and so feel free to get in touch.

US HEATSEEKER TRACKL: i-15 - Lost In Love

i-15 we'd seen over two years back. They were signed to a small independent label and their biggest hit was "My Bad (Ft. Fabolous)". They had a few tracks that were impeccable but they were around at a time of B5, B2k and a host of other RnB boy bands. At the time we approached i-15 and got in touch with various majors A&R contacts in the US. No one was interested... Glad to see the boys have done good and are now signed to Interscope / Universal!!

Congratulations to Castro, Daz and Flash from the team at Urban-Unsigned.com

This is their debut single, show them some love... http://www.i15music.com

Music:

The team have an ecclectic mix of music tastes. Their CD collections range from MoTown, Gangsta rap, hip hop, soul to Indie, Electro, rock and punk... However, we do love our Urban music muchos!!
