BandLab’s vision is simple: A future where there are no boundaries to making and sharing music. Founded in 2015, BandLab is the next-generation social music creation platform on a mission to break down the technical, geographic, and creative barriers for musicians and fans. The mobile-first cross-platform DAW and social network, unites the entire creator journey into one place, boasting a suite of features and tools for creators to make music, share their music with fans, earn a living, and even top the charts.
With d4vd, Luh Tyler, and 310babii named to Billboard’s 21 Under 21, it’s tempting to see each of them as standalone stories. But zoom out and a pattern emerges. All three started making music on BandLab, a platform used by over 100 million creators worldwide to make and release music. All three still use it, and all three built early momentum without waiting for the traditional industry to hand them a path.
- d4vd: Started on BandLab, still records on it, and now has a critically acclaimed album on Darkroom/Interscope, a Coachella debut, and a catalog of genre-jumping singles.
- Luh Tyler: Used BandLab to shape his early sound, landing collabs with Kodak Black and A Boogie and earning spots on major tours.
- 310babii: made “Soak City (Do It)” on BandLab, and it landed him on the Hot 100 while he was still in high school.
Each of these artists reflects a different path, but the pattern is clear. Artist development today starts earlier, happens in public, and is shaped by the platforms artists choose to trust, often long before anyone’s paying attention. BandLab is one of those places. It’s where the first songs are made, the first fans gather, and the first momentum takes shape.
These aren’t isolated wins. They’re signals in a broader shift in how artists move, create, and build traction in a fragmented landscape. It’s a blueprint we’re seeing play out across genres, scenes, and countries. When tools like BandLab are accessible and creative control stays with the artist, the industry starts to look very different, and a lot more exciting.
