Calling All Women Musicians: Participate In Our Talent Hunt & Perform At The Homegrown Festival 2025

Anahita Ahluwalia

At Richardson & Cruddas Mills in Byculla, come February, music and culture will intertwine in a celebration of artistry. The Homegrown Festival 2025, on February 22 and 23, is India’s definitive culture & lifestyle festival. This year, our spotlight is on women musicians.

In an industry that has often been a battleground for recognition, Homegrown is carving out a space for women to not only be seen but acclaimed. The festival’s open call for talent aims to showcase the breadth and depth of musical genius across the country. Whether you’re a singer-songwriter, rapper, or live electronica artist, this is your moment.

Homegrown Festival, 2023

HG Fest is known for its ability to launch careers and build communities. In 2018, Hanumankind emerged from our talent hunt to cement his place in the global hip-hop scene. The victory propelled him into the spotlight, helping him secure collaborations and performances.

Winning this talent hunt comes with more than a spot on the line-up. It’s a ticket to a bigger stage, with flights and stay covered, a feature on Homegrown’s platform, and exclusive guestlist spots. For an up-and-coming musician, this is a rare opportunity to push the boundaries of your craft through a live performance.

Unlike conventional auditions, our process thrives in digital chaos. To apply, post a 30-second reel of your performance, tagging Homegrown’s handles. The deadline for entries is January 31. Apply now, and who knows? The next big name in music might just be you.
