Join our panel to learn “How to be one of IMPALA's 100 Artists to Watch”. Gain insights from artists and label representatives on what sets selected artists apart and the crucial aspects of progressing an artist's career in Europe. Curated by IMPALA’s members and wider network, the “100 Artists to Watch” programme spotlights artists from diverse cultural backgrounds and genres across Europe’s independent music sector, emphasising inclusivity and cross-border representation. In partnership with YouTube, members nominate artists they believe are ones to watch, based on diversity, innovation, and commercial success. Announced every spring, this project aims to foster a more inclusive and dynamic European music ecosystem.
