The soundtrack starts with the artists
REAL PAN.
REAL ARTISTS.
CLEAR CREDIT.
Steelpan is the reason Riddim Rabbit exists. It drives the notes players hit, the stages they visit and the sound of the whole game.
We are looking for music with a clear voice. Send an arrangement your band loves, an original tune, or an idea you want to develop with us. Soca, calypso, jazz, electronic, orchestral and other styles are welcome when pan has a real musical role.
Who can submit
WE WANT
TO HEAR YOU.
You do not need a label or a large following. You need music you are allowed to share and a steelpan part worth hearing.Artists can submit from anywhere. We review music for possible selection or collaboration, but a submission does not guarantee a place in the game.
Steelbands
School, community, university, professional and independent bands with their own sound, story and repertoire.
Arrangers
Creators who can shape memorable pan music around a scene, difficulty curve, character or interactive rhythm.
Collaborators
Vocalists, instrumentalists, DJs and cross-genre teams where steelpan remains a genuine part of the musical idea.
What works in a rhythm game
WHAT WE
LISTEN FOR.
A great rhythm-game track has identity, movement and enough space for play. It does not have to sound like anything already in the game.
Finished music
An original, well-recorded track you control and would like considered for gameplay, menus, trailers or another part of the project.
Prepare your submission ↓Band recordings
A performance that captures the character of your ensemble, with enough information for us to understand the arrangement and rights.

A strong portfolio and an interest in composing, arranging or recording to a creative brief for a specific moment in the game.

What happens to your rights
YOUR MUSIC
STAYS YOURS.
Sending us a link only gives us permission to review the music. Ownership stays with you, and we cannot use it in the game without an agreement.If we want to move forward, use, compensation, credit, duration, territories and required files will be discussed and agreed in writing.
No fee to apply
We do not charge artists or bands to send music for consideration through this invitation.
No use by default
A submission is for review only. We will not release or place your track without the necessary agreement.
Clear all contributors
Samples, cover songs, guest performers, publishers and co-writers must be declared and properly authorised.
Credit the people
Accurate artist, performer, composer and arranger information matters. Tell us who made the work.
Questions before you submit
GOOD
TO
KNOW.
A complete submission means we can spend our time listening instead of asking for missing information.
Do I have to live in the Caribbean?
No. We welcome steelpan artists and bands from across the world. The project is rooted in Trinidad and Tobago, and we value applicants who approach the instrument and its history with respect.
Can I submit a cover or an arrangement?
You may share it for context, but inclusion depends on all necessary permissions. Clearly identify the original composition, your arrangement and every party whose approval would be required.
Will selected artists be paid?
Any compensation, fee, royalty or other consideration depends on the proposed use and will be discussed before an agreement is signed. There is no payment simply for submitting, and no application fee.
Can young players or school bands apply?
Yes, with an authorised adult, school or guardian handling the submission and any later agreement where required. Please do not send personal information about minors beyond what is necessary for the initial review.
Can I send unreleased music?
Yes. Use a private listening link, label it clearly as unreleased and tell us who is authorised to discuss it. Do not send anything you are not permitted to share.
When will I hear back?
We will review submissions around the game’s production needs. Because volume and timing can vary, we cannot promise an individual response or a placement, but shortlisted artists will be contacted directly.
Ready when you are
