This page has basic instructions for how to use any database that falls under the Regional Artist Database scope, either as a user or a searcher. If you find the RAD difficult to use or search, you can always let the RAD know by leaving some feedback.
A top tip for users and searchers is that all pages can be found at the bottom of each page on the RAD website.

TLDR: Instagram → RAD Mission Statement → Scroll to bottom of page → Read Terms and Conditions → Scroll to bottom of page → Go to “RAD Form”, fill in details If you clicked the link in the RAD Instagram bio, it will take you to the RAD Mission Statement page.
