RADAR Poland Celebrates Its First Anniversary With Five New Artists

Spotify's RADAR Poland debuted one year ago as a way to introduce emerging artists to new fans. The program aims to help up-and-coming artists worldwide open new chapters in their careers while strengthening their connection to listeners locally and globally. Ten artists and more than 50 million streams later, RADAR Poland has certainly made its mark.

In June of 2021, the program announced the six initial artists on its roster: Julia Po nik, Szczyl, Dziwna Wiosna, P. Tropez, Zalia, and KIWI. In November, it announced four additional artists: Marie, Oliwka Brazil, Jann, and bryska. Through RADAR's support, which includes a personalized marketing plan and on-platform spotlights, these artists have seen an increase in both their fan bases and visibility.

Female artists are on the rise and seeing a lot of success in Poland, which is something we are helping to advance with some of our picks. Zalia, a singer-songwriter and Warsaw native, has increased her monthly listeners by more than 200% since joining the RADAR program last year. Spotify's editorial playlists help not only with promotion and gaining popularity, but also with spreading women's music and creativity. As a female artist, I truly feel the noticeable change in the music industry, and I know that Spotify takes a big part in it, shared Zalia.

Other local RADAR artists have also seen success, with Oliwka Brazil and Marie making it in the Top 50 most-streamed female artists in Poland for 2021. One year in, we are happy that we're already able to talk about the success that our past RADAR artists have had. It's evident that it's a program where artists can get discovered, explained Mateusz Sm ka, Music Team Lead at Spotify. We believe that, thanks to the support of the RADAR program, our current and future artists will be able to achieve further success and win the hearts of millions of Spotify users.

As we celebrate the anniversary of the program, we're excited to announce five new artists that will be joining RADAR Poland. Get to know them below:

Ania Leon is a young vocalist who has built her sound around dark electronic production and intriguing lyrics.
