Supporting emerging artists is a fundamental part of Spotify's DNA, and we're going one step further with our first-ever music contest in Mexico, Mi Primer Escenario (My First Stage). The contest gives the country's exciting new talent an opportunity to showcase their skills, and fans in Mexico can vote for their favorite contestants straight from the Spotify app.
As a reward, the winner of Mi Primer Escenario will have the chance to perform at MEXCLA Spotify: Palenque, Feria y Cotorreo-Spotify's biggest live event in Mexico to date-and land the cover of our Top Mexico playlist.
With Mi Primer Escenario,' we want to give artists the opportunity to step on their first stage and share their music with the public, said Alejandro Grageda, Artist and Label Relations Lead at Spotify Mexico. For some years now we have dedicated efforts to support emerging artists through our RADAR program and other initiatives. That's why we are excited to bring this contest to life, and together with the fans open the MEXCLA Spotify stage to a new talent in Mexico.
MEXCLA Spotify will unite fans, artists, and creators at Mexico City's Parque Bicentenario November 2-3, showcasing the diversity of Mexico's musical and creative landscapes and celebrating Mexican pride. The winning artist or band from Mi Primer Escenario will be part of a lineup that includes Grupo Firme, Luis R Conriquez, and Bellakath.
Mi Primer Escenario is the perfect opportunity for music made in the country to have the stage and the platform it deserves. Ready to participate? Just follow these steps:
Stage 1 (September 16-29): Record a 30-60-second video that features your performance of an original song, and upload it to your TikTok account with the hashtag #MiPrimerEscenario. The 15 entries with the most comments will be selected as finalists and advance to the next stage.
Stage 2 (October 7-17): The finalists will be featured on a special Spotify playlist where users in Mexico will be able to vote for their favorite contestants. Whoever has the most votes at the end will be our winner.
Free users will be able to vote for their favorite artists or bands once a day during the voting period, while Premium users will be able to vote three times a day.
Stage 3 (November 2-3): The winning artist or band will have their first stage as part of the official MEXCLA Spotify lineup, where they will perform three of their original songs.
Eligibility requirements for artists:
Be of legal age, of Mexican nationality, and a resident in the country.
Have an active profile on Spotify with at least 3 original tracks uploaded in the last year. Additionally, you must have fewer than 200K monthly listeners.
Have an active TikTok account and include a link to your Spotify artist profile in your bio.
With Mi Primer Escenario, Spotify launches a new interactive feature that will put all the power in the hands of fans in Mexico. For the first time, users will be able to vote for their favorite contestants directly from the app and help them conquer the MEXCLA Spotify stage.
