listening closely

under the radar isn’t just a music platform - we’re artists’ biggest hype team, behind the scenes and online. We’ve spent years building one of the most trusted new music spaces in the UK, and now we’re using our reach, taste, and tools to help artists actually grow.

From filming with artists in coffee shops to building a platform that champions tomorrow’s headliners, I’ve always had one goal - giving emerging artists the space they deserve. With an eye for talent and a love for storytelling, I’ve grown under the radar into a home for discovery, development, and community. What started as a passion project is now a full-circle ecosystem, from platform to PR to artist strategy, all powered by my love for new music and the people making it.
