It is essentially a demo competition where a group of artists on Echio will choose their favorite demo received over a one-month period. The winning demos will be featured on the Echio Academy compilation, presented by the artists.
We typically do it every few months. But we don’t have a set schedule for Echio Academy, so check the website or follow us on Instagram to know when the next one will be.
Simply send your demo to one of the artists participating in the Echio Academy and wait for the results.
The Echio Academy is an extension of the Music Feedback feature. So what you’re paying for is essentially the artist’s feedback, as you would normally do when using this service. Echio is all about supporting artists and paying them fairly. Remember that 80% of what you pay will go to them.

After the 30th of November, artists will make their choices. We’ll give them one week to decide, and you'll be notified by email if your demo was selected.
You’ll have a month to finish the track - if you want to make any changes or additions, perhaps incorporating some advice from the artist’s feedback ;-). You don’t need to send a mastered file, we'll handle proper mastering.
Then the compilation will be released on Bandcamp (date TBC) as a free download and promoted through media.
