Casa Collective Launch Night

We will be having a Casa Collective Launch Day on Friday 7th February 2025, feel free to come along, meet the team, and listen to Q&A sessions with Music Managers, Agents and Producers plus lots of live music in the afternoon and evening.

How does it work?

Creating a community of musicians who support each other by collectively sharing each others music and gigs will help bring massive reach and online engagement to every member of the community. Out aim is to build a huge community of grassroots musicians that will help each other get their music streamed and their music heard, as well as help to sell tickets for their gigs. As it grows the community can even help each other to organise tours and support each other at gigs essentially giving poor to grassroots musicians with strength in numbers.

We feel like musicians are left to their own devices and expected to not only be able to sing and play but also book their own gigs, run their social media, promote their own music and so much more. We’ve decided to step in and give bands and artists a helping hand in as many areas as possible.

The Casa Collective cover all this and support each of it’s members, to be a member will come at a cost as we will take on a lot of admin to run the collective, but we want it to be affordable so it would be a small monthly fee to become a member.

Those who have already attended a La Sierra Casa Camp will automatically get a 6 month FREE membership to start. Out aim is to get 1000 members over the next few months, which means 1000 guaranteed pre-saves for new music you’re releasing and 1000 shares of your music, getting your music out there across different platforms .

What are the benefits?

* Community pre-saves of grassroots music to build pre-save numbers and help with algorithms across digital platforms. For example, getting your numbers up on Spotify to enter you into contention for the weekly and monthly discoveries * Collective promotion of new musicians gigs every week with a potential reach of over a million views * Listing on the Casa Collection website * La Sierra Casa Camp discounts * Music instrument discount across selected stores * Producer discounts * Venue hire discounts * Radio plugger discounts.

What is expected of a member?

* Every member would share The Casa Collective social media posts and reels each week. These will include members new music and gigs * Each member will preserve every new song * You would simply send what you wanted to promote and we would ensure it’s included in The Casa Collective posts and shared by all or members. As we build the community the membership fee will not only pay admin costs but will also go into a Casa Collective Trust, which will help fund singles, albums and camp spaces for Casa Collective members.
