It’s a new original music series part of the Honda Stage music program, to air in installments online on UPROXX.com. The web series–built on the dreams of undiscovered, up-and-coming artists –strives to bring new artists to millions of fans looking for the next big thing.
UPROXX, in case you if you aren’t familiar with it, is an online news and entertainment hub focused on attracting a youth-oriented audience. It’s owned by Woven Digital, which is partnering with Honda to launch the series.
