From Talent to Opportunity: Why We Built Plugd
Jun 3, 2025

If you’ve ever tried to make real moves in the music industry without knowing the right people, you already know how it goes. You put in the hours. You get the sound right. You work on your brand, your pitch, your socials. But the needle barely moves.
And it’s not because you’re not talented.
It’s because this industry has always been about access.
Plugd was built to fix that.
The Problem Was Always Clear
The idea for Plugd didn’t come from a whiteboard or a pitch deck. It came from years in the trenches, years spent producing music, performing, sending cold emails, and getting ignored.
Most artists don’t fail because they’re not good enough. They fail because the infrastructure isn’t built for them. Gatekeepers, vague advice, fake contacts, “submit here” links that go nowhere, that’s the system right now. And unless you already know someone, you’re stuck outside.
We knew there had to be a better way.
What We Needed Didn't Exist, So We Built It
After working in music for years, and later running a sales and marketing agency, one thing became clear: artists don’t need more hype. They need tools. The same systems businesses use every day to get in front of the right decision-makers should exist for creatives too.
We built Plugd to give artists access to the kind of infrastructure no one ever talks about. Real contact data. Smart filters. A direct way to search, plan, and pitch, without needing a manager or major label behind you.
Plugd Gives You What the Industry Won’t
This platform wasn’t built for labels. It was built for the independent artist, the producer, the manager who’s doing everything themselves.
Here’s what sets it apart:
You don’t need to wait to be discovered
You don’t need to go viral to be taken seriously
You don’t need to know someone to get started
You just need clarity on who to speak to, how to speak to them, and what kind of contact is worth your time.
We Know the Struggle Firsthand
This isn’t a tech company pretending to understand music. This is a platform built by someone who’s been around studios, radio sets, A&R meetings, and talent development for years. Someone who’s worked with grime artists, run sessions for at-risk youth, and helped one of them rack up over 50 million streams.
This is what happens when you combine music experience with real business tools. Plugd exists to serve artists the way they should have been supported from the start.
If You're Talented, You Deserve a Shot
There’s a lot of noise out there. Plugd helps you cut through it and reach the people who matter. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to level up, this platform is here to give you the edge that used to be locked behind closed doors.
Because the truth is, talent should be enough. But until it is, we’re building the tools to bridge the gap.
