Founding Artist slots: 97 / 100 remaining

What beta means

Beta access is not open signup. It's an application-based program limited to independent artists who are building real work outside the major label and major platform systems. We review every application personally.

Beta artists get early access to the platform, direct contact with the team, and the ability to shape features before anyone else touches them. When we go public, beta artists who stay active lock into the Founding Artist program permanently, capped at 100 total.

Who qualifies

  • Independent. Not signed to a major label, not distributed by a major distributor, not managed by a major entertainment company.
  • Original. You write or produce your own music. Cover artists and tribute bands are not a fit for this stage.
  • Actively releasing. You have a body of work on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or direct.
  • Ready to build. You're willing to upload tracks, provide feedback on what's broken, and tell us what's missing.

How it works

Step 1 · Apply

Fill out the form below. Takes about 3 minutes. Include a link to your existing music so we can see your work.

Step 2 · We review

We read every application personally. Expect a response within 3-5 business days. Approval is not guaranteed. Beta is deliberately small.

Step 3 · You onboard

If approved, you'll receive an email to complete Stripe Connect onboarding. This verifies your identity and sets up direct deposit. Your account stays locked until Stripe verification is complete.

Step 4 · You get access

Once Stripe is verified, you get full beta access: upload your music, get your referral link, start earning.

The Founding Artist program

Beta artists who remain active through public launch automatically lock into the Founding Artist program:

  • Free artist account for life. No monthly artist fee, ever.
  • $1/month recurring on every fan you bring. When the platform opens to the public, you'll get your referral link and start earning residual income on every fan that signs up through you.
  • Recruit more artists at public launch. Founding Artists can refer other artists onto the platform and earn a share of their activity. Your referrals compound.
  • Founding Artist badge, permanent. Your profile shows you were one of the first 100.

Program caps at 100 Founding Artists globally. After 100, program closes and later artists join under standard terms.

During beta, your job is to upload your music and give us feedback. Fan + artist recruitment unlocks at public launch.

Apply

All fields marked required must be completed.

Not shown publicly. For review only.
This becomes your login.
Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, or your own site. You can paste with or without https://.
Pick "Yes" only if you receive a paycheck, contractor pay, founder equity, investment stake, or a board seat at a music streaming company (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Audiomack, YouTube Music).

Pick "No" if you're an artist who uses these platforms. Having a Spotify for Artists account, uploading your music to SoundCloud / Bandcamp / Audiomack, paying for a streaming subscription, or doing sync deals as an independent artist does not count.
