SLS Digital Music
Artist Partnership Program
For independent chill, lo-fi & R&B artists

Get real radio & YouTube support without giving up your music.

The SLS Digital Artist Partnership Program helps emerging artists get heard on internet radio, playlists, and YouTube — with light-touch label support, not a lifetime contract.

Radio + YouTube support in one place Global online audience tuned for calm, creative sound
No long-term label lock-in. You retain ownership of your masters and publishing.
Why partner with SLS Digital

We’re a real station, not a playlist farm.

SLS Digital Music combines a 24/7 online radio station, chill YouTube channels, and original shows hosted by DJs. Our Artist Partnership Program connects your songs to that ecosystem.

Radio + Streaming

Radio rotation that actually fits your sound

Your music is considered for curated blocks like Morning Focus, Midday Reset, and Late Night Studio — not thrown into random genres that don’t match your vibe.

Content Support

Visualizers, shorts & feature placements

We help turn your tracks into watchable content — lo-fi visualizers, shorts clips, and occasional feature segments with our on-air personalities.

Artist-Friendly

Keep control of your masters

You keep creative control and ownership. We provide infrastructure and exposure, you decide how far you want to take it.

How it works

From application to your first spin.

We review fit, set expectations, and map out how your music can sit naturally inside the SLS Digital ecosystem — radio, playlists, and visual content.

1

Apply & share your links

Submit your artist info, streaming links, and what you’re hoping to accomplish — more listeners, better branding, or both.

2

We review for on-brand fit

Our team checks vibe, audio quality, and lyrical alignment with our station culture (chill, creative, or faith-friendly).

3

Launch your first rotation block

If accepted, we align on plan, place tracks into test rotations, and update you on next steps for playlists and content support.

Fit check

Is the Artist Partnership Program right for you?

We’re not trying to be a one-size-fits-all label. The program is intentionally small and curated.

Best for artists who:

  • Make chill, lo-fi, ambient pop, R&B, or adjacent vibes
  • Care about long-term brand and listener connection, not just quick spikes
  • Are comfortable with clean or faith-friendly adjacent spaces
  • Want support but still want to own their masters and direction

Probably not a fit if:

  • Your content is explicit-heavy or intentionally shocking
  • You’re only looking for botted streams or fake playlisting
  • You’re unwilling to invest time in basic branding and communication
  • You expect instant “signed to a major” results in 30 days
FAQ

Questions artists usually ask us.

Understand a little more around SLS Digital conserning a baseline for expectations.

Do I give up any ownership of my music?

No. The core program is structured so you keep ownership of your masters and publishing. If we ever propose specific collaborations or alternative structures, we’ll spell those out in writing.

Is acceptance guaranteed if I apply?

No. We review for fit in terms of sound, quality, and station culture. If the fit isn’t right, we’ll let you know and may suggest other moves that make more sense for your project.

How fast will I get radio airplay?

If accepted, we typically test tracks in rotation blocks within the first 2–4 weeks, depending on our current programming calendar.

Can I leave the program?

Yes. There’s no long-term contract. You can cancel your monthly plan before your next billing cycle. We’ll simply phase your tracks out of rotation and promo placements.
