The Featured Music Project is an attempt to produce a large number of featured articles on musical artists and to improve the content and organization of existing articles in this area. The Featured Music Project seeks to improve the Featured Article Candidates process through the promotion of specific standards for featured articles on musical artists.

The set standards of the Featured Music Project are not meant to be an exhaustive set of criteria. Passing a Featured Music Project review is only the first step on an article's journey to become featured. The FMP review signifies that the article meets all basic standards, and is a good candidate to be reviewed in more detail. This means that all elements of a good article are in place, and that there are no serious flaws in an article. The next step is a peer review, where the entire article will be examined for more specific problems and issues. The last step is the featured article candidacy, which will involve the last little bit of tweaking that the article requires.
