Our Sonic A&R Scouts

🎧 Meet the Sonic Scout A&R Team
Our A&R Scouts are the heartbeat of Sonic Scout Radio’s discovery engine. With a sharp ear for originality and a deep love for independent music, they’re constantly digging through SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and beyond to uncover the most exciting unsigned artists around the world. Each Scout is matched with a presenter based on genre alignment, working closely together to build shows that shine a spotlight on raw, unfiltered talent. Whether it’s lo-fi hip hop, indie pop, experimental electronica or genre-bending rock, our Scouts are passionate about finding artists with something real to say —
and making sure their voices are heard.

Hey y'all, I'm Nathan and I am just as excited as possible to be a scout here at Sonic Scout Radio

I'm excited because being here lets me find and work with all of you amazing artists that I haven't had the chance to love yet. I love every genre of music, from club bangers to garage rock, and I would love to hear what you've created.

If you're interested in having a song on the awesome show that I work with, "Beyond the Drop with Candace Vibe," please reach out to me at and we can talk about getting you heard and building towards a bright future together.
