In uncertain times, music gives us a way to make sense of things—to process, to release, to move forward. 1 Big House Originals is a space for artists to share their songs and stories, exactly as they are. We’re here to highlight emerging voices and create moments of discovery through original music. If you’ve been writing, recording, or holding onto a song, this is your chance—put it out, let it be heard, and take your place in something growing naturally through the music itself.
