Spotify Offers Artists Free Studio Time and Resources Through Fresh Finds Forward Program

Spotify has introduced Fresh Finds Forward, a new initiative designed to support artists who have been featured on the platform's Fresh Finds playlists. Artists added to any Fresh Finds playlist after January 1st, 2026, are eligible to join the program.

The Fresh Finds Forward program will provide participating artists with 12 months of additional resources. For US-based artists, this includes complimentary studio time at notable locations such as Electric Lady Studios in New York, The Lighthouse at Ocean Way Nashville, and Spotify Music Studios in Los Angeles. Additionally, artists in the program will receive early access to new Spotify tools and features, along with priority for music releases.

Spotify's Fresh Finds playlists are recognized as a significant avenue for emerging artists to gain exposure and advance their careers. This program aims to equip these artists with the necessary tools to leverage their newfound visibility and foster their artistic development.

The initiative is intended to lower the barrier for artists in producing high-quality music and provide them with resources to navigate and succeed in the competitive music industry. This represents Spotify's ongoing commitment to supporting music creators.
