The Problem

MUSIC DISTRIBUTION IS BROKEN

  • Revenue
    Loss

    Streaming platforms and app stores get up to 30% of revenue, leaving the rest for artists and song rights holders to split. (Includes free services/music.)

  • Living Wage
    Struggle

    Most musicians earn fractions of pennies per stream. Touring is expensive. Sustaining a music career is difficult, even for the most talented artists.

  • Disconnected
    Relationships

    Fans are consumers, not supporters. They pay platforms, not the artists they love. Fans want to be more connected and have access to exclusive content and merch.

BREAK IT DOWN

GLOBAL RECORDED MUSIC REVENUES BY SEGMENT 2023

LET'S GET PHYSICAL
  •  + 13.4 % For a 3rd consecutive year, physical revenues increased. Driven by strong gains in CD revenue and the continued expansion of interest of vinyl, physical formats were worth US$5.1B in 2023. Asia is the leading region for physical music sales.

  • THE GAP

ARTISTS NEED A MODERN
WAY TO MONETIZE
THEIR MUSIC

Today's musicians are creative entrepreneurs, navigating a world where innovation meets practicality. While vinyl and CDs have seen a resurgence, they're expensive, cumbersome, and often inaccessible for fans. Artists need a modern, scalable solution that empowers them to sell directly to fans with low risk, minimal upfront costs, and maximum impact. By offering a product that's portable, affordable, and designed for today's listeners, we're transforming how musicians monetize their craft and connect with their audience.
