UNXIGNED is a crowdsourced, genre-fluid music and artist discovery blog that aims to help independent artists be heard globally and to provide them with a unique press framework that grows their value, relevance, and fan base. An idea born out of sheer love for the indie, UNXIGNED seeks to build an inclusive, close-knit community of artists and fans no matter the music scene they represent. UNXIGNED is a cause, a revolution, a movement, a culture. UNXIGNED is proudly curated by musician and law student Sam Corrazza (Fragile Søul, Infinite Cassette), who is a native of Samal Island in Davao Region. Though originally conceived in 2017, the project was put on the back burner until three years later when lockdowns came into effect due to the COVID-19 pandemic and paved the way for its relaunch. Joined by Iowa-based music connoisseur Derek Tate in August that same year, together they remodeled UNXIGNED from the ground up, ultimately leading to the creation of a team of tastemakers who are passionate about championing cutting-edge indie music discovery and helping artists reach new heights through their own brand of music journalism. The blog is currently spearheaded by Corrazza and its New York-based senior editor, Ben McCoy. UNXIGNED is among Feedspot’s Top 45 Independent Music Blogs and Websites in 2021. Last year the blog peaked at No. 25 on their Top 40 list.
