Unsigned Muso Magazine (UM) is launching its first issue to thousands of eager musicians at music competitions across the country.

UM is a free bi-monthly print publication written by music professionals offering advice to ‘musos’ throughout the UK and tips on how to make the best of social media.

The first issue includes an interview with Aled from Kids in Glass Houses and an exclusive article written by Barney Boom from dance/rock crossover act, Sonic Boom Six.

UM plan to work closely with more signed bands and artists in the future, bridging the gap between musicians at the top and the unsigned musos that look to them for inspiration
 
UM plan to work closely with music competitions across the UK and took the decision to launch the first issue at the Live and Unsigned finals due to its popularity, attracting more than 40,000 entries per year from aspiring musicians and therefore distributing the free magazine directly into the hands of the target readership.

Editor of UM, Jennifer Le Roux, said:
“It is great to be part of such an inspiring project. Having struggled with my own band several years ago and lacking the support we needed, UM is a great way to get some much needed advice and tips to musicians or singers seeking direction and focus.”
