Bootleg Connect for Artists:

Featured Artist 2/12: Gao the Arsonist

Our first collaboration with Gao was in December of 2020, and since then we’ve remained avid supporters of his work. With headlining shows in LA and a high performing new single that just dropped today, he’s an artist we’ve been proud to be associated with since day one. Tap in with ‘Man in the Castle’ here.

About us:

Bootleg Bangers was founded in 2020 with one goal in mind: to create content that would support small artists and entertain fans. We achieve both of these goals through our social media presence and website, where we post thorough and in-depth articles and discussions on independent music. In 2022, we launched our artist marketing subscription service, Bootleg Connect, to help connect independent artists with each other and to a variety of creators and promoters who can help them grow. We’ve collaborated with hundreds of artists, brands, and managers, as well as respected marketing agencies across the country. Sign up today for discounted and unparalleled access to dozens of producers, videographers, influencers, and content creators.

About our founders:

‘B’ first entered the scene by launching the Bootleg Bangers instagram page in 2020 after being a longtime fan of the underground rap scene. Inspired by underground artists like Hendersin and ShaqIsDope, he wanted to get involved and work with talented but under-resourced artists.

‘A’ entered the music scene in 2020 with Underground Artist Central after finding success in the sports marketing scene, and found his passion and drive for connecting with artists allowed him to understand them and help them grow.
