What is Clapper Sounds?🎶

Clapper Sounds is the official music account and blog segment of Clapper. The purpose of Clapper Sounds is to highlight independent artists and musicians through interviews featured on the Clapper Blog and live sessions through dual live. Our goal is to foster a positive and independent artist community, as well as to discover the new “sounds” of Clapper. Clapper sounds also aims to update the Clapper Community on new music features on the app.

Interviews👩🏻‍💻

• The first part of the clapper sounds project will be interviewing Clapper artists. 
• In this interview, we will talk about the artist’s life, their musical journey as well as their upcoming projects and goals.
• All interviews will be exclusive to the blog. This means the interview will be private between us and the artist. Then, it will be available in written format on the day of the artist’s live performance.
• This is an opportunity to get an inside look at the lives of Clapper musicians.

Live Sessions 🎙

Live Sessions are conducted through Clapper livestreams on Mondays at 5:00pm CST. During a live session, ClapperSounds will introduce the featured artist through dual live. After their brief intro, Clappersounds will leave the dual live and the artist will perform their set. Each artist will have an intimate 15-20 minute performance (about 3-5 songs) and will get to interact with the live audience. Feel free to send them gifts and encouraging messages.

If you miss a live session, @Clappersounds will upload a recorded version to all social media accounts.

A video submission is also required for this application. It must be a video of the artist performing one original song (1-3 minutes).
