About

How it works

From first session to released song — without losing anyone along the way.

  1. 01

    Create a track and invite the people you're making it with.

  2. 02

    Agree on splits, credits and terms — everyone sees the same picture.

  3. 03

    When it's ready, run the release pipeline together.

  4. 04

    Register your publishing rights (Koda, STIM, GEMA, ASCAP/BMI) and neighbouring rights (Gramex, SAMI, GVL, SoundExchange) correctly.

Philosophy

Three principles we build everything around.

Transparency

Everyone involved in a song deserves to see the same picture. Splits, contributions, agreements, status — always visible to all parties. No surprises, no chasing, no asking ‘what was the deal again?’

Accessibility

The music industry is full of jargon, gatekeeping and assumed knowledge. We use plain language, explain every term, and meet creators where they are. Whether you're releasing your first song or your fiftieth, the path is the same.

Democratization

The tools, contracts and registrations that used to require the right network, the right lawyer or the right label are now available to anyone making music. Professional administration shouldn't be a privilege.

Vision

A word from the founder

“I dream of a more professionalized music industry — where clear agreements aren't something you have to chase, but something that's a given. Where the passion, time and contributions of creators, songwriters and producers are met with transparency, insight and updates in the processes that come after a session ends or a production wraps. And I dream that more people dare to release their own music — that releases big and small are properly credited, and every contributor is registered correctly.”
