FAQ

Why us?

With experience working alongside both emerging & established independent artists, we combine creative & business expertise to fill the gap in the ever-evolving entertainment industry. Our transient, short-term model acts as a launchpad, offering tailored guidance at critical stages while empowering artists to retain full ownership. We strive to help artists progress to the point of label, management or other conversations, equipping you with the tools to understand & grow your operations, ensuring you’re ready for sustainable success.

Our Ethics and Values

We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and ethical environment where all artists and professionals feel supported and valued. We prioritize LGBTQ+ and ALL inclusion, ethical business practices and social justice reform, striving to cultivate an ecosystem that exemplifies respect, collaboration, and community. There is zero tolerance for harassment, aggression (in any form), misogyny, or discrimination of any kind. We aim to be a pride rock (or Milele) - of the creative industry.

How We Work?

We work with our artists on a tailored three-month cycle. Our process includes an ‘Initial Audit’ that assesses your digital footprint, activities, and business setup. A ‘Strategy Roadmap’ which outlines a clear plan for the next three months. An ‘Intensive Phase’, where we ensure all assets and strategies are in place for your growth. ‘Check-in Support’ including regular meetings and messaging for continued guidance. A ‘Final Audit’ reviewing your growth and recommended next steps.

Investing in Yourself

Growing as an artist is an investment in yourself. As we understand the challenges artists face, we offer personalised services, pricing & flexible terms to fit your unique needs. Via Stripe we accept all forms of UK and international payment methods, whether upfront or month-by-month options. Regardless of the service, we strive to ensure you gain a clear understanding of your cashflow structure, empowering you to sustain your growth both during and after working with us.

Our Upstream Community

At Upstream Artists, we’re building an ecosystem where artists and professionals can share knowledge, resources, and experiences to grow together. Our community is a closed, invite-only space, cultivated as a safe environmentfor ongoing support. By joining, you gain access to a network of like-minded individuals who are committed to helping each other navigate their journeys. Through this exclusive WhatsApp community, you’ll continue learning, collaborating, and growing long after our direct partnership ends.
