Atlanta, GA – Avant-Garde Entertainment, Inc., the powerhouse independent record label known for cultivating bold and original talent, is proud to announce the launch of its Monthly Label Audition Series—a new initiative created to discover the next wave of musical stars. Kicking off Thursday, May 1st, 2025 and held every first Thursday of the month at Atlanta’s legendary Apache Café, this series invites aspiring artists to perform live and audition directly for the label. This is not your average open mic. This is your chance to shine in front of real industry executives, producers, and A&Rs who are actively scouting for the next big thing. Whether you're a singer, rapper, instrumentalist, or genre-bender, Avant-Garde ENT! is opening the doors wide to emerging talent from all corners of the culture. Sign-ups are live now via the link in bio on @avantgarde_ent and slots are limited—early registration is highly encouraged.

“Avant-Garde has always been about pushing boundaries and creating space for the unheard,” says Michael D. Harper, founder and CEO of Avant-Garde Entertainment, Inc. “This monthly audition series is our way of staying rooted in the community while uncovering and elevating authentic artistry.” Harper, a visionary in the independent music scene, established the company in 2009 to give innovative talent a platform to thrive beyond industry norms.
Avant-Garde ENT! is not just a label—it’s a movement. The term "avant-garde" speaks to art that is groundbreaking, experimental, and unapologetically creative. Staying true to its name, the label is committed to helping artists craft timeless music that resonates across generations. Their mission is clear: to amplify unique voices, build legacies, and create sonic experiences that matter.

Over the years, the label has been home to emerging talent such as Camiyia, Harry, Nina, and Remidi, while also curating standout regional tours and cultural showcases throughout Georgia and beyond. With an expert team of creative directors, producers, and marketing specialists, Avant-Garde ENT! offers full-service artist development with a personal touch. Attending the auditions is not just an opportunity for performers—it’s an experience for the community. Friends, fans, industry insiders, and music lovers are encouraged to come out, support local talent, and witness greatness in the making.
