The VICE Playlist Project: Defy Genres and Build a Soundtrack for the Moment

The VICE Playlist Project is an opportunity for all music creators to defy genre labels and submit their original songs to a moment instead.

The evolution of music has taken us beyond genres. Artists like Childish Gambino and Dominic Fike have proven that genre lines can be so blurred that defining a sound is irrelevant. It’s moments, and how we soundtrack them, that matter.

Enter: the VICE Playlist Project—an opportunity for musicians, producers, singer-songwriters, creators of all types, to submit their art toward a moment, and not just a musical label. Do you sit in your room writing songs on a guitar? Are you someone who likes to build beats in a studio? Have you been experimenting with AI-generated sounds?

This contest is for every one of you and is now open for submissions.

VICE invites music........
