About Vanguard

What is Vanguard?

Vanguard is a platform, a tournament, and a community — created for independent artists who want more than just clicks and algorithms.

We believe in skill, originality, and cultural impact. Our mission is to build a space where music isn't just content, but craft.

Our Experience

We've organized some of the largest online music battles to date — with thousands of participants and hundreds of independent events run on our system.

From small underground contests to massive championship-scale tournaments, our team brings years of hands-on experience in both event production and music tech.

This isn't our first launch. It's just our biggest one yet.
