The Next Stars Endowment

Fostering tomorrow's next stars.

The endowment is the reason PVT Records exists beyond the catalog. A standing fund — built from everything we publish — that gives emerging artists studio time, mentorship, and publishing support to make their first real work.

Who it's for

No label. No backing. No problem.

The endowment exists for the artists the industry hasn't found yet. If this sounds like you, we want to hear it.

  • Unsigned or independent artists at any career stage
  • Connected to — or willing to join — a PVT Community chapter
  • A body of work or demo you're ready to develop
  • Open to recording at, or collaborating with, PVT Hostel
