Shaped by Sound
Shaped by Sound spotlights North Carolina’s thriving music scene, featuring artists from a broad range of genres, including indie rock, hip-hop, R&B, alt-country, jazz, bluegrass and folk.
We would love to get to know you. As we work diligently to support music across North Carolina, from artists to fans, venues to agents, labels, and production, we want to begin by gathering information on those we serve.
The devastation that occurred in Western North Carolina from Hurricane Helene is staggering. The region is well-known for its rich cultural traditions and vibrant creative communities, and artists and arts organizations are among those that have suffered enormous losses.
We are dedicated to celebrating our rich musical heritage, driving economic growth through music, and positioning North Carolina as a leader in the creative economy.
