DMforAirplay
Great music deserves to be heard. DMforAirplay was created to discover and promote incredible independent musicians from around the globe.
Our Mission
DMforAirplay exists to bridge the gap between musicians and their future audience.
Each episode, we select tracks that have been submitted by independent artists, provide context about their work and journey, play their music and then provide our legitimate thoughts about the track.
Our goal is simple: to be the platform we wish existed for every musician who has ever created something beautiful and wondered, "Will anyone ever hear this?"
"Every artist puts their heart and soul into their music, and DMforAirplay is the platform to share it."– Taylor Lidstone, DMforAirplay Founder
Meet Your Hosts
Taylor Lidstone
Co-Host, Producer & Founder

Craig Norris
Co-Host
Craig knows very little about music and predominantly listens to radio recordings from the 1940s. He is a doctor though, so that counts for something, probably.
Our Journey
The Beginning
