Emerging Sounds

Emerging Sounds is a London-based live music platform curating powerful, professional gigs for the UK’s most exciting independent artists. Founded by a jazz-trained drummer turned promoter—with seasoned performance experience across the UK and Europe—Emerging Sounds was born out of frustration with the chaos and unfairness of the grassroots live scene, and a deep love for the music and people within it.

We partner with pubs, venues, and cultural spaces to deliver high-quality, artist-first events. Every show is designed to serve three groups equally: artists, audiences, and venues. We handle everything—from booking and logistics to promotion and content—so musicians can focus on performing and venues can focus on doing what they do best.

In an era where most independent musicians rely on live shows for the majority of their income, and where over 40% of grassroots venues operate at a loss, Emerging Sounds offers a sustainable alternative. It’s more than a gig series. It’s a platform, a community, and a mission to rebuild live music from the ground up.
