Artist Demo Listening Session: Hip-Hop/Rap/R&B Music

Mar 12, 2025

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

SXSW Artist Demo Listening Sessions offer a unique opportunity for selected musicians to get direct feedback from seasoned A&R music professionals, those who listen to demos as part of their job.

This year, we can accept digital submissions for these sessions at any time prior to the day of the session. Physical submissions will not be accepted at the door. Demos will be played on a first come, first served basis. Please arrive early for a greater chance to have your demo selected. You must be present to have your music in the running to be heard! SXSW attendees not having demos played are encouraged to attend and listen in on the fun!
