For Artists

Getting heard

How does “equal rotation” actually work?
Accepted tracks enter our EqualSpin engine and are served to genre-matched listeners on fair footing. Exposure is earned by the music and listener response — you can't buy your way to the front.
What is Aurion?
Aurion is our in-house audio intelligence. It scores every submission objectively and gives specific, timestamped feedback so you can improve with each release. It also powers your Growth Trajectory.
Do I keep the rights to my music?
Yes. You retain ownership of your work — full terms are in the Artist Upload Agreement.
How do fan donations and payouts work?
Listeners can support you directly. Payouts are handled through a secure, verified payout account you connect in the app.
For Listeners

Discovering music

What's a Discovery Portfolio?
It's your record of the artists you discovered early — including which of them are breaking out — plus the real impact your likes, saves, shares, and support have created.
What does it mean to be a “Day One” fan?
When you back an artist before they hit 5,000 fans, you earn Day-One status with them — proof you got there first.
Is my data private?
Yes. We collect only what we need and you control your privacy settings. See our Privacy Policy and Data Compliance docs.
Does it cost anything to listen?
No — listening and discovering is free.
