Announcing Noteworthy Competition for NZ Emerging Artists
Goodtwin exists to give great artists the opportunity to fulfill their potential. They are a Kiwi-founded and led label services based in London, with a goal to build break-out, global New Zealand artists.
Goodtwin was established in Jan 2025 by Lucie Watson, who after 10-years of building label services company Platoon, and launching the careers of Billie Eilish, Jorja Smith, Victoria Monèt and more, has seen an opportunity to build a bridge between New Zealand and the UK for artists, hoping to give them more opportunities and exposure on a global scale.
Imani-J is goodtwin’s flagship New Zealand artist, with the 17-year old R&B / Afrobeats artist releasing her first single See You In Jupiter in April, which was picked up by Rolling Stones Aus/NZ, Sniffers and RNZ. Imani-J also won a competition to perform at the R&B festival Victoria Vibez in Auckland.
Noteworthy is a really exciting artist development initiative from goodtwin, offering one emerging New Zealand artist a full single release, partnership and marketing package valued at $10,000 NZD. From studio time to strategy, visuals to playlist pitching, the goal is to support the release of one standout single and help launch an artist with international potential.
Goodtwin intends to catch and nurture emerging artists that don’t yet qualify for the NZ On Air single funding, which is why they have chosen to match their grant amount of $10,000.
Applications open until Sunday May 25th.
