How it works
Four steps to your first statement
1. Upload once
Lossless or 320 kbps. We transcode to HLS, normalise loudness and generate waveforms and covers.
2. Get verified
Request verification in the app and prove your identity. Verified accounts get the blue tick and open Studio.
3. Sign and register works
Sign the artist contract in Studio. Add ISRCs, reference audio and ownership shares. Pick a policy: monetise, track or block.
4. Earn per play
Validated plays on any matching upload — yours or a fan's — route revenue to you.

Questions
- Do I need a label to join?
- No. Independent artists, labels, publishers and distributors can all register as rights holders.
- What if a fan uploads my song?
- The fingerprint matches your registered work and your policy applies: monetise it (you earn), track it, or block it.
- How are disputes handled?
- Uploaders can dispute a claim once; you have 30 days to release or uphold. Upheld claims can escalate to a DMCA notice.
- Which countries are supported?
- Payouts are available wherever Stripe Connect operates. Territories per work can be restricted.
