Limited tracks will be selected. We suggest artists to get their ticket/demo priority ticket ASAP.

DEMO PRIORITY TICKET holders will get the highest priority for their demo submission. This is highly recommended to get your track prioritized to be played and heard by key influencers and decision makers at the event.

If you are selected, you will get a chance to share your track with our panelists and get live feedback at our event. For Demo Priority ticket holders who attend the event but don't get their track played at the event (due to too many submissions), you will still get email feedback from the panelists/team a few weeks after the event. We encourage early submission for a higher chance of being selected. Demo Priority submissions after the due date will still receive e-mail feedback from the panelists/team.

Submit by 1/22/25 5pm EST for consideration.

Your donation ticket will go towards supporting the recent California fires <3

Since its inception in March 2015, Neon Owl has covered everything, from sharing stories to showcasing talent, to sparking meaningful conversations while supporting charities worldwide. In late 2017, Neon Owl also launched Open Door Sessions, a series of events curated to bring the music community together while helping artists get discovered, heard, and signed. Since then, Open Door Sessions has expanded to cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, and Atlanta, as well as holding a steady presence in the virtual space spanning its impact for artists and creatives around the world. Neon Owl has also partnered with festivals like Groove Cruise and clubs across the states to bring the community together to connect, create, and collaborate.
Back in October 2022, we launched The Mastermind : an artist development program tailored towards artists serious about taking it to the next level. We have had artists like Habstrakt, BIJOU, Trivecta, Blanke, MaRLo, Andrew Rayel, Blastoyz, Gem & Tauri, Haliene, GENIX, Sacha Robotti, Gene Farris, BEAUZ, Nostalgix, Linney, and many more to share their knowledge with aspiring artists. We've also had brands like Groove Cruise, Northern Nights, Create Music Group, Brownies & Lemonade, Space Yacht, Dim Mak, Anjunabeats, Insomniac, Billboard Dance, Ultra Publishing, 1015 Folsom and The Midway to name a few participate in these series of events since Open Door Sessions' inception nearly seven years ago.

Countless tracks have been signed through these events, and many bookings for artists, including some artists' first club and festival gigs. You can usually expect some form of philanthropic component to most events curated by Neon Owl, such as raising money for causes ranging from animal rescues, mental health awareness, and children in need to other important social issues happening around the world. As Neon Owl nears its ten-year mark this upcoming March 2025, it has established itself as an inclusive community focused on bringing the music community closer while continuing to create a significant impact in and outside the music industry.
Whether you are a producer, DJ, vocalist, run your own business, or simply want to get more involved in the industry, this event is open to all!
