Apply for the Artist Beta

AllDefiant is in private beta. We're building the platform that breaks the industry's crown: streaming that pays you directly for the fans who actually listen to you, not diluted across a global pool. We're looking for independent artists to help us shape it before public launch.

The Founding 100 is open: first come, first served

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. Approved artists become Founding Artists as soon as their account goes live, while the Founding 100 is open.

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.

The AI line

AI is only ever an effect on your own performance, never the music itself.

Fine: Ordinary production tools that don't generate music: your DAW, plug-ins, effects.
Allowed as an effect, ticked on upload: AI processing of your own recordings: mastering, mixing help, tuning, noise reduction, stem separation. Tick “I used AI processing” when you upload.
Not allowed: Music made by AI, meaning AI-generated sound, notes, melodies or words, and imitation of a real artist's voice.

How it works

Step 1 · Apply

Fill out the form below. Takes about a minute: all we really need is a link to your music so we can see your work.

Step 2 · We review

A real person reads every application. We're confirming one thing: that you're a real, independent artist who owns your work, not AI, not an impersonator. It's not a talent contest. Expect a response within 3-5 business days.

Step 3 · You onboard

If approved, one email lands with one job: set your password. Then we walk you through the artist agreements (including what AllDefiant commits to you) and payout setup. Your account unlocks when payout verification is done.

Step 4 · You get access

Once payouts are verified, you get full beta access: upload your music, tell us what's broken, and start shaping the platform. Your fan referral link works from day one.

The Founding Artist program

Approved artists become Founding Artists automatically when their account goes live, while the program is open:

Free artist account. No monthly artist fee, ever, and that's every artist on AllDefiant, not just the first 100. What the Founding 100 locks is the rate.
$1/month recurring on every fan you bring. Double the standard referral rate, locked permanently. Your referral link works as soon as your account is live, and you earn on every fan who subscribes through you.
Vouch for other artists. Once your account is live, you can invite independent artists you know onto the platform. Your invite helps keep every artist here real.
NAV's personalized daily insights. Every artist gets NAV, the built-in Artist Development AI. As a Founding Artist, you also get personalized daily insights: three fresh tips a day, written against your actual numbers and your current career stage.
Founding Artist badge, permanent. Your profile shows you were one of the first 100.

The program caps at 100 Founding Artists globally. After 100, the program closes and later artists join at the standard referral rate.

During beta, your job is to upload your music, bring your fans, and tell us what's broken.

Five quick fields. Takes about a minute.

Artist / Band Name *

Email *

This becomes your login.

Country *

This sets up your payouts and must match where your bank is. It can't be changed after you're approved, so pick carefully.

Genre *

Primary music link *

Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, or your own site. You can paste with or without https://. This is the one thing we really look at.

Anything we should know? (optional)

I'm 18 or older and agree to the Beta Application Terms and Privacy Policy. *

The full artist terms are presented for your acceptance after approval, during onboarding. They include what AllDefiant commits to you: no AI training on your music, and this, word for word: “AllDefiant will never sell my music without my permission. It sells copies only where I choose to list them, and licenses a song for sync only if I opt that song in myself and sign the separate Sync Licensing Agreement. Nothing is opted in by default.”
