musicjunki.es for cities

City portals showcase local artists, videos, and charts — built by the community, one city at a time.

Why & who

Why — Cities need a dedicated home for local music online — not just global algorithms. A city portal surfaces who is active in your area, what videos are climbing charts, and which events are coming up.

Who — Municipal cultural offices, venues, promoters, local media, and artists themselves. Anyone invested in growing a city's music ecosystem can encourage artists to join and help activate a portal.

What is a city portal?

A city portal groups artist pages, music videos, and charts for one location (e.g. /weown/amsterdam).

Artists with complete pages in that city can appear in portal listings and charts when they qualify.

Portals become fully active when enough local artists participate — early supporters become city ambassadors.

Fans browse portals to discover local talent; boosts and engagement drive chart rankings.

How to grow your city's portal

1

Invite local artists

Encourage artists and bands to create free pages, connect YouTube, and set their city. Point them to for artists & bands.
2

Reach critical mass

City charts and full portal features strengthen as more qualified artist pages join the same city. Be among the first 25 to help activate your city — see ambassadors.
3

Promote locally

Share portal links at venues, festivals, and cultural programmes. Connect events and community hubs so fans have one URL for local music.
4

Partner with communities

Local scenes can run a community hub alongside the city portal — roster, events, and member kickback for growing paid membership.

City portal guidelines

  • City portals are for music-related local content only.
  • Artist pages must meet platform criteria (social link, photo, description) before appearing in portals.
  • Do not create fake artist pages to inflate city rankings — we remove spam and impersonation.
  • Venues and cultural partners may link to portals but should not misrepresent official city endorsement unless agreed.
  • Report inappropriate content via the feedback button → Flagged Content.
