The Gathering Spot in Atlanta, Platform Sounds took center stage and delivered a moment that set the tone for the future of music. During the Urban One Summit, the Atlanta-based label unveiled a powerful slate of new music featuring Tamar Braxton, Kirk Franklin, and Jack Freeman—three distinct voices unified under a sound that was bold, soulful, and undeniably fresh.
The atmosphere was electric as the audience got a first listen to unreleased tracks that blurred the lines between gospel, soul, and R&B. Grammy-winning gospel legend Kirk Franklin brought his signature spiritual fire; Jack Freeman offered a smooth, grounded richness that’s quickly cementing his place as a rising R&B voice; and Tamar Braxton, as always, proved why she’s a platinum-selling force in every genre she touches.

What made this moment more than just a showcase was the synergy—it wasn’t simply about sound; it was about statement. Platform Sounds made it clear: they’re here not just to participate in culture, but to shape it.

Founded in Atlanta, Platform Sounds is redefining the music landscape by merging powerhouse names with emerging talent. With a roster that includes Rome Flynn, Tamar Braxton, and Jack Freeman, and a strategic partnership with Grammy-winning producer Bryan-Michael Cox, the label stands as a creative force. As a division of Insignia Assets, and distributed through Sony Music’s The Orchard, Platform Sounds is not just building a label—it’s building a legacy.

The Urban One Summit has always been a space where culture, conversation, and creativity collide—and this year, Platform Sounds became the soundtrack to that movement. If the debut was any indication, this label isn’t waiting for what’s next. They are what’s next.
