upandovr is a TEAM OF CREATIVES, MARKETERS, ARTISTS, AND FANS WHO SHARE THE SAME VISION: to support philly MUSIC.

making it in music is never easy. well, the music part comes naturally, but the “making it” sure doesn’t. here in philly, we’re flush with talent, yet the the national recognition isn’t where it should be. we have some break out moments every few years, but mostly we exist in our own bubble. it’s a special bubble though, filled with incredible artistry, generous community, and a house show scene like no other. 

while part of us loves keeping it our own little secret, a bigger part believes our artists deserve greater recognition and “success”—whatever that means to them. we also know they could really use some help getting there.

enter: upandovr.

in a music industry obsessed with individualism, we believe there’s power in the collective. in coming together to help each other out and push each other forward. that’s why we’re here. to be a partner that makes it easier for philly artists to figure out their next step, build a network, create cool shit, reach more fans, and, ultimately, grow as an artist. 

whatever an artist is trying to achieve, upandovr is here to help make it happen.

we are in relentless pursuit of artist progress.
