For Artists
Cover a song, excite your fans and raise money for a cause you care about
Covers for Others is a project that lets fans challenge artists and bands to cover a song in exchange for a small donation to a cause picked by the artist.
Participating is a fun way to interact with fans and the public, while taking on the challenge of putting a creative spin on a classic song and ultimately raising money for a cause you’re passionate about.
Why take part?
Minimal time commitment
Support good causes through music
Highly engaging way to interact with fans
Taking part is as simple as:
- Recording a short video announcing the project and sharing it with your fans
- Keeping fans updated during the campaign
- Learning and performing the winning song

‘It was a pleasure to work with the Covers For Others’ team. They made it as easy as possible for us by providing comprehensive social media plans and assets. We were absolutely delighted with the final results with over £10,000 raised in 4 days. The project created great conversations amongst Frank’s fans who really engaged with it: they suggested over 2,000 songs to cover at the beginning of the campaign, each post got hundreds of comments and Frank’s cover got over 150k views in a couple of days’ Charlie Caplowe, Xtra Mile Recordings
