Future Nominees is designed to do more than put artists on a stage. We evaluate where you are, identify what can make you stronger, help you develop it and then give you opportunities to put it to work.
Start with your voice and/or your music. Each artist will be invited to our business office to present their music. If you do not have an original song, record yourself singing a cover, save it to your phone, and present it during your evaluation.
This process is designed to evaluate you in a professional setting; not a cattle call. Future Nominees team members will evaluate where you are as an artist, from your music and brand to your audience, marketing, live experience, and business readiness.
No two artists need the exact same level of development. Our team focuses on song structure, including concept and arrangement, while helping you bridge the gaps that matter most; from fan building, marketing, and streaming to branding, sponsorships, business fundamentals, and live audience participation and performance.
Development means more when you can put it to work. Every artist will have the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience and online viewers.
This is your opportunity to activate your audience, represent yourself as a professional talent, and prove what you can do in your market. Your live performance matters because the audience will help determine which artists should be selected for the album.
The entire process is designed to prepare you for bigger stages and greater opportunities.

The top 25 selected artists from each participating state earn placement on their state's official Future Nominees compilation album.

The Experience Behind The Opportunity
For more than three decades, Greg Street has been part of the sound, culture and evolution of Southern hip-hop.
Long before streaming and social media changed how artists are discovered, Greg was using radio to introduce audiences to emerging talent. His career has put him in the room with generations of artists, producers, executives and tastemakers.
That experience and network are part of what Greg Street brings to Future Nominees; including major production opportunities involving Zaytoven, Mustard and others.
