Welcome to Submitted For Your Approval,
where independent artists take center stage and your next favorite song is waiting to be discovered!
This playlist series is all about giving a voice to the musicians who deserve to be heard—the ones creating incredible music outside the mainstream spotlight. Every track in this collection has been personally submitted by artists from around the globe, and each one has earned its place through pure talent, passion, and authenticity.
No algorithms. No gatekeepers. No pay-to-play schemes. Just genuine music discovery, curated with care and an infectious love for independent artistry.
Whether you’re tired of hearing the same recycled hits on the radio or you’re an artist yourself looking for inspiration, Submitted For Your Approval is your gateway to the underground sounds that major labels are sleeping on. From unsigned bedroom producers to small indie label gems, these are the musicians building something real—and we’re here to champion every single one of them.

Join us in celebrating the artists who are creating the future of music, one submission at a time. Hit play, discover something amazing, and follow these incredible musicians on their journey!
Ready to Expand Your Playlist? Let’s dive in!
Welcome to the “World Famous” (not really… yet) “Submitted For Your Approval” playlist series, born from the incredible response of indie musicians worldwide eager to share their sounds to the EYP listeners when the call was originally posted on our social media pages. This playlist is not just a regular new music playlist, as it features music submitted to us by the musicians themselves through social media, email, and primarily through our Music Submission page.
Oddly enough within our 10 years of existence, this is our newest playlist series, but the theme and goal are still the same as it has ever been since the inception of Expand Your Playlist, which is to bring you New and undiscovered music by bands and artists that you may not have of yet. The playlist does not focus on one genre or style of music as it varies thru genres and musicians’ professional levels, giving a diverse spotlight on independent and underground musicians of all styles, backgrounds, listener/follower counts, and algorithm qualifications.
WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR MUSIC TO BE ON A FUTURE SFYA PLAYLIST?
It is quite easy to do. Simply go to our Music Submission page and fill out the information. The music submitted will be taken in consideration for a playlist spot. We will listen to the music submitted to us, and if your music is selected, we will notify you on when the song will be featured. Not all songs will be selected for a playlist, but they will be put on our consideration list. This is a free service, and no charge is applied for submission or “fast tracking” to be on a playlist.
Our goal, as always, is to help musicians have their music heard and, as always, to help you the musician fan and listener… Expand Your Playlist!
When you discover a song or artist that resonates with you, show your support by following, liking, and commenting on their work. Your encouragement can inspire them to create more incredible music.
