It’s a vibe - where anything goes. If you are trying a new genre and you don’t necessarily want your beat “rated” this is a great place to showcase that.

Both beats and full songs are welcomed, and you can send in more that one… thus the name Back to Back

We often have challenges - We just had a Boom Bap challenge… which is a great way to stretch yourself as an artist or producer - gets you out of your comfort zone.

What is Heatwav?

Heatwav Music Group is the premier online community for aspiring musicians, artists, producers, and entrepreneurs who want to grow their skills and career.

If you are like me, you may not really know many other producers or artists in your proximity - that live close to you. I stumbled upon Heatwav in a Facebook group this year, and I’m so glad I did.

The vibe is nothing but positive and everyone is in it to help each other become better producers, artists, and entrepreneurs. The people are genuine, real, and we all share a deep love for music.
