This section describes the features and usage of Briefs.
“Briefs” on the SURF platform are leads that come directly from labels. Through creative briefs, labels and A&R staff can find material ranging from a single title track to a full album of tracks for an upcoming release. As SURF’s exclusive briefs are highly confidential, artist profiles are typically kept anonymous, but references and concept guidelines are provided to ensure Creators can submit tracks that will be well received.
Briefs can be found in the brief dashboard, as shown below.
Each Brief includes a short description of the artist, the project deadline, and other relevant information about what kind of tracks the label is looking for (genres, mood, BPM, etc). There is also a reference section containing inspiration tracks and their YouTube links.
Press "Submit Track(s)" to submit a Marketplace track or “Search My Library” to submit a track directly from your library.
**Please note that tracks must be unreleased demos (Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube X) and will be removed if they violate submission guidelines.
Selecting “Search My Library” will allow you to use Magic Search to find music that matches the brief references.
For more detailed information on submitting tracks to Briefs, please refer to this article.
