Genre-defying London-based artist Ace Clvrk recently gave a showstopping performance at the second SoundOn Session at The Pioneer Club, with his unique blend of alternative R&B, soul, and indie rock captivating all in attendance.
SoundOn is TikTok’s music distribution and marketing platform, designed to allow artists to distribute their music on TikTok and across major streaming services, while maintaining full ownership and artist-friendly royalties without administrative fees.
SoundOn has also entered into a new partnership with Headliner Spaces to launch SoundOn Sessions, an initiative aimed at championing the best new talent the UK has to offer by giving them the chance to perform at one of the most exciting grassroots venues and creative hubs in the country in the form of TPioneer Club in St. Albans.
“I started out as a songwriter, writing sync music for Warner Chappell and then during lockdown I got bored of being in the industry behind the scenes, so I decided to start making music for myself,” Clark, one of this year’s MOBO UnSung Class of 2023, tells Headliner ahead of his stellar set. “I wanted to just enjoy the process of making music.”
He is also quick to point to the support SoundOn has offered him on his journey so far.
“It feels really good to be supported by the powerhouse that is SoundOn,” he continues. “They’ve helped massively with things like tips and tricks on how to use TikTok. If you are an artist today who doesn’t have an understanding of how to use social media, particularly TikTok, then you’re probably going to struggle to build a fanbase. The support they have given me with my release has been really good, and just helping to understand TikTok and how it works is huge. It’s a massive part of any artist’s repertoire now. You have to focus on it and being able to understand that has helped massively.”
