About 15 Seconds Of Fame:

They say everyone gets 15 minutes of fame, right? Well, the MIX 104.1 airwaves are already filled with the most popular songs from the world’s biggest artists, but we really do wanna give you a chance. So we’re looking out for talented unknown singers and giving them 15 Seconds of Fame! FAQs

Q: Do you really play unsigned artists on the radio? A: Yep

Q: Is this some lame Internet station with like 10 listeners? A: No, we are a top ranked "real" radio station based out of Boston, MA USA. We've been on the air for over 20 years and have a weekly audience of approximately 1 Million People over the air and many more impressions on the web. Q: How do you decide what artists you'll play. A: We get a lot of submissions (and highly encourage you to send yours to us!) and we listen to EVERY SINGLE ONE that comes in. We also search the Net, local venues and keep our ear to the ground looking for up and coming artists we can feature. Q: What's the criteria to submit? A: You've gotta be unsigned and you've gotta be good! It helps if you have a video up on youtube or soundcloud that we can share with our listeners and viewers. We will also try to link to and tag your social media accounts, so please include those links. Also, if you're playing in Boston, or elsewhere in New England, let us know and we will try to include that in our feature. Q: This is really cool, why do you do this for unsigned artists? A: We are passionate about music. We've been first to support many of the top artists you know and love and we've figured out how to extend this to artists who don't have the promotional support a major label provides. We're trying to level the playing field for artists making great music in their bedrooms and basements--and we love sharing that with our listeners who are equally passionate about discovering great new music!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT for INDIE and EMERGING ARTISTS!

Hi it’s Matthew Reid from 15 Seconds Radio.

I’m launching a new series to help artists (like you) develop with tips from other artists (like YOU) on everything from writing to recording to gear choices to touring.

I think it’ll provide great value for the indie and emerging artist community and provide a new way for me to continue to promote artists like you!

Would you record a :30 second video (portrait/vertical) sharing a tip, observation or thought about whatever you’ve been working on recently?

For example, if you’ve been in the studio, give us a recording tip, or mic or gear tip, or something along those lines.

If you’ve been writing, share something about that.

If you just put together a tour, or have been playing out locally, give us some insights on that.

Or ANYTHING you think might be helpful to other up-and-coming artists. (more topic ideas below.)

The video doesn’t need to be a big production, just raw cell phone video is great!

/// Please send the video to me via Messenger or DM for my cell or email. /// Please include your social media handles you want me to tag. /// FOLLOW and on IG & Twitter. And look for a new account on TikTok, which I’ll share with you soon.

Other topic ideas:
* Collaborating with other artists
* Mixing/mastering
* Promoting your music
* How you get booked
* How you got a deal
* How you landed an opening slot
* Vocal or finger warmups
* Social Media
* Youtube strategies / tips / pitfalls / etc.
* Home video setup
* Audio setup
* Finding a good producer
* Finding a good manager
* What to look for in a manager
* Writer’s block
* Getting radio airplay
* Getting on playlists
* Mailing list strategies
* Idol/Voice/AGT/Etc. tips and insights
* How to nail an audition
* Overcoming stage fright

Please keep video to around :35-:40 (less is fine too) but :45 absolute max. We want it to be quick and punchy.

You can make it one video — or if you have a lot to say, make it a 2 or 3 part thing.
Or share on two different topics if you want.

I’ll be launching this very soon and will share a new tip every day and promote you and your music with the video.

All we ask is that when we feature you — that you re-share it to your followers.

And please share with someone you think might wanna join our community of contributors or might benefit from the content.

I know as musicians we tend to procrastinate so, please, take a quick minute and record your first tip as soon as you can!

I’m really excited about this and look forward to building a great resource for the indie and developing artist community.

Thanks so much!
Matthew Reid
