Inspiring Hope and Change Through the Power of Song

Music is essential to the movement.

There's an uprising of love upon us. A more safe, just and equitable world is coming. 

​But getting to that day requires each of us to do the work: To heal, to lean in, to find our place, and to do our part - which is we're up to here!

​Ascent is radio for the movement. 

Music for a better world.

How is it, exactly, that we're living this out? Here's what we've committed ourselves to...

Dynamic Music Programming

It begins and ends with the music.

Music, and collective liberation.

Meticulously hand-crafted, Ascent is a purposeful, human-curated listening experience - at the intersection of great music and social change.

Spanning across eras and diverse genres, we're committed to spinning hand-crafted music that moves us - mind, body and spirit.

Amplify Voices

Plain and simple:

We're about centering and elevating the voices, stories and concerns of women, BIPOC artists, LGBTQ+ artists and other marginalized communities in our programming.

​All the time.

We're here to serve the public as a platform for important and diverse artists speaking into the pressing social matters of our time.

Cultivate Community

Let's radio together!

Music is community. It creates a place of belonging. 

Around here, everyone's invited to the garage to share their favorite records. 

Our aim is to cultivate a safe and meaningful online community for our listeners, with regular opportunities for collaborative and interactive shared music experiences.

Uplift and Empower

Music makes a difference.

It heals. And it calls us to action.

In our programming and content, we're seeking to be the change that we want to see in the world. To help each of us find the courage to change - both ourselves and our communities around us.

When we learn to love ourselves, can we take up the cause and fight for justice and the liberation of our neighbor.

Foster a Movement

Together, we can build something truly amazing!

Music and radio hold a singular power to draw us together - toward hope, love, and liberation.

Our aspiration is to build a diverse, grassroots network of innovative, talented and passionate music minds from every city and neighborhood, who are committed to bringing their unique experiences and abilities to the table to elevate the hearts and minds of people everywhere through the power of song.
