We are a new age based radio station, featuring music from the new age and associated genres. Please read the following and please also look at our policy on AI.

​

🎵 Want to hear your music on One World Music Radio? 🎵

Getting your music played on our OWMR playlists and shows is—and always will be—100% free!

At One World Music Radio, we value total honesty and transparency above all else. Because we offer paid marketing tools alongside our regular broadcasting, we want to make our rules completely clear:

​

✨ Promotion is 100% Optional: The marketing services we offer (ads and promotional packages) are completely voluntary tools to help boost your global visibility.
🚫 Airplay Cannot Be Bought: Buying a package does not guarantee airplay or a spot on our charts. Our regular radio curation remains entirely free and based strictly on musical merit.
🤝 Fair Treatment for All: Declining a paid package will never hurt your chances of being played. We choose music based on quality, period.
🎧 Legitimate Royalties: Every track we play on air and archive on Mixcloud is automatically scanned by audio software to ensure your spins are legally logged and properly paid out through standard music licensing. We offer these tools to help indie artists get noticed, but our ears will always remain completely unbiased.

🚫 Genres We Do NOT Play

While your music may be excellent and beautifully produced, our station does not broadcast:

• Gospel, Country, Hip Hop, or Rap

• Most forms of Dance and Night Club music

• New Pop/R&B music from the last 20 years (we are "golden oldies" here at OWMR!)

 

📋 Submission Requirements

Our Policy on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Music Submissions

At One World Music Radio, our mission has always been to celebrate the beautiful, universal language of music and to completely support independent artists. We specialize in genres that soothe the soul, inspire the mind, and heal the spirit—genres that fundamentally require a human connection.

Because of this, we have established a clear policy regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence in the tracks submitted to us:

• What We Do Not Accept: We do not accept music that is fully AI-generated. If the core composition, primary melodies, or arrangements were created by typing prompts into a generative AI system, the track is not eligible for airplay or charting on OWMR.

• What We Do Accept: We completely understand that technology is an evolving part of the modern music production landscape. The use of AI as a supportive tool is perfectly fine. This includes using AI-assisted software for mixing, mastering, noise reduction, or subtle creative enhancement during your production process.

The Golden Rule: The creative soul, the heart, and the human intent behind the music must belong to you, the artist. We want to hear your stories, your emotions, and your unique human expression.

Thank you for keeping the spirit of independent music alive and authentic. We look forward to listening to your human-made music!

AI Disclosure Policy:
