Supporting / Finding Local Artists

[rafiboz]

I propose a dedicated tab or playlist called "Local Artists", which would feature lesser-known musicians from the user's area who have a limited number of streams (under a certain cap). Using the device's location, this feature would allow users to discover high-quality music from local artists within a set radius, varying based on where they are.

Advantages:

• Unique Music Discovery: Users can find hidden gems and experience music that reflects the local culture, offering a personalized and fresh listening experience.
• Support for Emerging Talent: This feature gives lesser-known artists a platform to be discovered, helping them grow their audience and gain visibility without competing directly with big-name artists.
• Connection to Local Culture: It offers users an opportunity to connect with the local music scene wherever they go, giving them a sense of the area's vibe and musical trends.
• Enhanced User Engagement: By providing a unique way to discover new music, the platform can increase user retention and engagement, offering a diverse listening experience beyond mainstream playlists.

This feature would not only give new artists a chance to expand their reach but also allow users to explore and connect with the sounds of their local music scene, creating a win-win for both listeners and creators.
