Sephora has announced Sephora Sounds, its first music collective that spotlights more than 55 emerging, diverse musical voices and includes a wide array of engaging and authentic soundtracks that make up the sound of Sephora.

Sephora Sounds provides a unique opportunity for underrepresented artists to be prominently spotlighted by the global retailer. More than half of the signed artists are BIPOC and female.  

Participating artists include Aint Afraid, a girl band with twin sisters Inah and Yahzi; Ellie Kim aka SuperKnova, a Korean-American transgender musician; and Nigerian American pop singer-songwriter Precious.

Key takeaways:

  • More than 70% of participating artists said they have never been given a paid brand opportunity like this before.
  • Sixty-percent of artists within Sephora Sounds said other musical artists in their circle have never been approached by brands before.
  • Within one month of an artist's soundtrack being leveraged in a Sephora campaign, Spotify listenership increased to up to 30,000.
