What Is the Independent Artist Spotlight?

The Independent Artist Spotlight is a 20-minute featured interview experience created to showcase independent Christian artists at any stage of their journey.

This isn’t just promo.
This is positioning.

We go beyond surface-level questions and press-play moments. The Spotlight gives you space to:

  • Share the heart behind your music

  • Tell your testimony and creative journey

  • Introduce your latest release with intention

  • Speak on your Kingdom impact beyond the music

  • Connect with a new, engaged audience

Our goal isn’t just to interview you.
It’s to highlight who you are.

Through real conversation and meaningful dialogue, listeners get a deeper understanding of your mission, your message, and the movement behind your sound.

Whether you’re building momentum or expanding your reach, the Independent Artist Spotlight gives your story the platform it deserves.

      What Was the Purpose for Creating the Independent Spotlight?
I’m Ryan Righteous — founding member of Trackstarz and curator of the Independent Artist Spotlight interview series. For over 20 years, we’ve helped shape conversations in Christian music, and now we’re opening the door for independent artists who are serious about growth.
I created this series to give independent artists something many never get — a real platform to tell their story.
Early on, I realized how powerful it would be to bring life-changing testimonies to the surface. Not just music… but purpose. Calling. Impact.
Now — 10 years later — the Independent Artist Spotlight is still thriving and doing more than I ever imagined God would do with it.
This isn’t just content.
It’s legacy-building.

Recently, a producer I met and interviewed through the Independent Artist Spotlight entered the Flavor Fest x Trackstarz Beat Battle in Tampa.

After our interview, I personally encouraged him to compete.

He didn’t just compete.
He won.

He won the Beat Battle in 2024…
And came back and won again in 2025.

Our celebrity judges included Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins and Montell “This Is How We Do It” Jordan.

After witnessing his talent firsthand, Rodney Jerkins hired him to produce for his CHH label, Alienz Alive.

For context — Rodney Jerkins has produced for Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Christina Aguilera, just to name a few.

That’s the level of opportunity that can happen when preparation meets platform.

TOP FAQs:
1. When will my spotlight be scheduled?
Your spotlight will be scheduled once you select an available time using the calendar link provided after purchase.
2. Will my results be measurable?
The impact of your spotlight largely depends on how you show up and how the audience connects with your story and content. One key factor we often see artists overlook is promotion. If this is your first interview on a major platform, we strongly encourage you to share it consistently with your audience, family, and friends. Engage with comments, repost clips, and maximize visibility. The more you leverage the platform, the stronger your results will be.
3. Will I receive every promotion included in my package?
Yes. We execute every promotional element outlined in your selected spotlight package.
4. Is this “Pay-to-Play”?
No. Trackstarz has never participated in “Pay-to-Play” practices and never will. Spotlight packages cover media production, editing, distribution, and promotional services — not guaranteed airplay.
5. Does purchasing a spotlight guarantee my music will be added to Trackstarz radio rotation?
No. Spotlight purchases do not guarantee radio rotation. However, if your package includes a written review, your music may be promoted accordingly within that feature.
6. What happens if I’m dissatisfied with my service?
We have never received a complaint regarding a spotlight purchase. However, once an interview has been conducted and distributed, a full refund cannot be issued. If concerns arise, we are committed to working toward a fair and reasonable solution for both parties.
7. Will this guarantee that I “blow up” like other artists who’ve shared testimonials?
No. There are no guarantees in this industry. Success depends on preparation, work ethic, consistency, and how well you capitalize on opportunities presented to you.
