Honey Jam Is Searching Canada for Female Artists Ages 14-25 for Its 30th Season Artist Development Programme

Honey Jam is celebrating 30 years of fostering emerging female artists and is now open for auditions. The organization is conducting a national search for female artists between the ages of 14 and 25 across all genres, including pop, hip hop, jazz, soca, R&B, gospel, rock, dancehall, blues, alternative, opera, and country. Artists from every province are encouraged to apply, with a Toronto live audition taking place Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 11am at the Live Nation Lounge, 2 Snooker Street, Liberty Village.

No advance approval is needed to audition in Toronto. Artists simply need to fill out the submission form, arrive at 11am for registration, and prepare a one-minute performance of the song they would perform at the showcase if selected. Original songs are encouraged. Covers are welcome but should reflect the artist’s own style. A keyboard will be provided on site. Artists should bring a printed one-pager with bio, photo, contact info, and social media links.

Every artist who participates receives free access to music industry workshops, one-on-one vocal and performance coaching, mentoring and networking opportunities, promotional exposure, and the chance to have original songs considered for airplay on major national radio. Selected artists will also have their bio and links hosted on honeyjam.com for one year and be considered for paid performance opportunities.

Artists outside Toronto can submit through the national online form at honeyjam.com. Selected participants will be contacted by approximately mid-June.
