Dom europeiska indiebolagens paraplyorganisation IMPALA har sjösatt konceptet 100 Artists to Watch. Svenska namn är Smith & Thell, Maxida Märak, Linn Koch-Emery och Namasenda.
Det nya upplägget ersätter IMPALA:s årliga pris European Independent Album of The Year, som organisationen har utsett i tio år. De 100 namnen har valts i samarbete med YouTube, partner i det nya projektet.
Helen Smith på IMPALA säger:
“IMPALA’s remit is to boost diversity across Europe, so it’s great to be introducing this new programme with YouTube. The idea is to help shine a light on the range of talent the independent sector works with in Europe.”
Dan Chalmers från YouTube fortsätter:
“The independent sector is a key partner for YouTube and we are really excited about our collaboration with IMPALA on 100 Artists to Watch in Europe. YouTube gives creators and artists a platform to reach the world and enables them to get noticed across borders”.
