Brilliant Sounds shined a spotlight on independent and unsigned artists, welcoming a wide range of performers — from solo vocalists and instrumentalists to singer-songwriters and bands — and celebrating creativity, originality, and artistic expression. The competition sought out new voices ready to make a lasting impact through music.

The winner of Brilliant Sounds 2025, AMIRAE, was invited to perform live on the Brilliant Minds stage in Stockholm in front of an audience of global thought leaders, creatives, and changemakers. In addition to the performance, the winner received a mentorship from within the Brilliant Minds network, a dedicated mentor from Spotify for Artists, an exclusive 1:1 session with an ID-Architect from Creed Media, access to industry workshops and sessions, and a ticket to Brilliant Minds 2026 or one of Brilliant Minds’ international gatherings — setting the stage for new connections and meaningful growth in the year ahead.
