Chelmsford is alive with creativity — from grassroots bands and singer-songwriters to DJs and producers pushing new sounds. Until recently, there wasn’t a dedicated platform to bring that music directly to the city’s airwaves. That’s where City Sound Radio steps in: a station built to showcase the very best of Chelmsford and Essex talent.
Giving Local Musicians a Voice
Breaking through in the music world can be tough, especially for emerging artists. City Sound Radio is here to change that by offering airtime for local talent, features that highlight new releases, and opportunities for artists to share their stories on-air.
Already, the station has featured acts such as Reverie Sons, Two Tree Island, Mark Sullivan, Magic Seas, and Christopher Wilkinson. And it doesn’t stop there — Monster Florence had their recent album chosen as Record of the Week.
These features not only shine a spotlight on talented artists, but they also show listeners just how much creativity is coming out of Chelmsford and the wider Essex scene.
A Platform for Every Genre
From indie and acoustic to hip-hop, soul, and electronic, Chelmsford’s music scene has no single sound — and that’s exactly what makes it special. City Sound Radio celebrates this diversity, offering space for all genres and styles.
Every song played isn’t just a track — it’s a reflection of the city’s culture, energy, and passion.
Building Real Connections
When local artists are heard on air, something powerful happens: listeners connect with their community in a new way. Every track creates a bridge between the people who make the music and the people who live alongside them.
It’s not just exposure for musicians — it’s about weaving local creativity into the fabric of everyday life in Chelmsford.
