October 9th | New York, NY

We celebrated the official launch of Songtrust Amplified, our new client rewards program built to recognize, empower, and elevate music creators at every stage of their careers. The event brought together our clients, partners, and industry community for an evening of connection, collaboration, and creativity.
From a curated showcase to partner activations, raffle giveaways, and unique “Amplified” experiences for every level of attendee, the night was designed to highlight how Songtrust Amplified supports music creators in building sustainable careers.
Songtrust Amplified is our new rewards program designed to grow with songwriters at every stage of their music careers. From their very first song to major royalty milestones, Amplified unlocks exclusive perks, partner offers, and premium tools tailored to the journey as a songwriter.
With levels that reflect progress with Songtrust, songwriters gain access to The Lineup — a personalized dashboard of rewards, creative resources, and industry opportunities — all designed to help build momentum and amplify their success.
Chilean-born, New York City–based singer and producer TONI bends genres with her
bilingual Spanish-English lyrics and a sound that fuses pop, electronic, and Latin influences. She has performed in legendary venues including Radio City Music Hall, Bowery Ballroom, Lollapalooza Chile, Teatro Coca Cola, Arlene’s Grocery, and The Bitter End.
Her latest single, AMÉN, follows the release of “HELLO KITTY” and sets the stage for her debut album in 2025. The track has been praised as “a captivating blend of drum & bass energy, pop sensibility, and UK garage finesse” (Indie Criolla).
Harrison Lipton is a 31-year-old singer, songwriter and producer. A native New Yorker, the Brooklyn artist’s musical prowess resides in the intersection of indie, R&B and 70s soft rock. Making a name for himself as a writer and producer for top indie talent such as MICHELLE, Yot Club and more, Lipton’s music is a product of his singular imagination, presenting a style that carries nostalgia into the modern era with authenticity and sincerity. He has been featured in NPR, Hypebeast, Vogue, and Atwood Magazine as well as on numerous editorial playlists such as Apple Music’s Late Night Menu and Spotify's Fresh Finds and Chill Vibes. Now releasing his second full-length album, Between Us There Runs a Tether, Lipton emerges as a promising and unique voice, blending soulful vocals with singular and catchy production.
Since 2017, 24-year-old Brooklyn-based musician Jhariah Clare (he/they) has been crafting a thrilling, fiercely original musical world. Their breakout track “Flight Of The Crows” from A Beginner’s Guide to Faking Your Death has earned over 23 million Spotify plays, and their new LP Trust Ceremony marks their boldest work yet—a manifesto for a new kind of music culture.
Blending dance-punk, emo, prog rock, hardcore, pop, hip-hop, and Latin dance, Trust Ceremony captures a Gen-Z journey through self-doubt, family, faith, and relentless ambition. Written largely in his childhood bedroom and finished in his first apartment studio, the record pairs Jhariah’s singular vision with a few trusted collaborators.
Lead single “RISK!” encapsulates the album’s explosive energy—a whirlwind of punk, hardcore, and Latin grooves underscoring a desperate drive to make it.
It’s Jhariah’s time. Trust Ceremony is out now everywhere you listen to music.
