Phantom Power Music strategic governance

A Tennessee Public Benefit Corporation on a mission to protect human-made, independent music.

PHANTOM POWER MUSIC, INC.

A Tennessee For-Profit Benefit Corporation

Also operating as Epoch Music App · Epoch One Music Guild

GOVERNANCE STATEMENT — PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

1. Who We Are

Phantom Power Music, Inc. is a Tennessee For-Profit Benefit Corporation founded with two mandates. The first is to protect human-made music from the existential threat of AI-generated content. The second is to tear down the broken economics of the streaming era and replace them with something that actually works for the people who make the music. Our ecosystem is built for professionally aspiring musicians who are developing independent music careers, and is made up of three building blocks:

The Epoch Music App is a direct-to-artist payment platform enabling fans to support independent musicians with instant, frictionless, global payments; with full support for payment splits and collaborator accounts. There are no unnecessary intermediaries. No labels, distributors, PROs, publishers, or algorithmic streaming platforms taking a cut. 100% of every fan payment goes directly to the artist it was intended for.

The Epoch One Music Guild is a 2,100-person artist-founded music guild designed to distribute long-term dividends, issue grants, and financially support and revitalize the global independent music scene.

The #CancelSpotify Movement represents the global independent music community's growing resistance to the streaming economy. At cancelspotify.com you can learn how streaming economics have damaged the independent music ecosystem on a global scale and join our growing contingent of indie artists determined to protect the future of human-made music.

Our governing principle: every decision we make (product, pricing, partnership, investment) prioritizes the economic interests of independent artists first. Where a conflict exists between Company profit and artist welfare, artist welfare always governs, by design. This commitment is written into our governance documents and legally binding on all current and future shareholders.

2. Our Public Benefit Commitments

As a Tennessee For-Profit Benefit Corporation, we are legally required to pursue a public benefit purpose alongside profit. These are not aspirational values. They are legally binding commitments written into our governance documents and enforceable by every shareholder. Our specific commitments are:

  • Artist Economic Sovereignty. Artists always receive 100% of the price they set. Our platform fee is additive - paid by the fan on top of the artist's price, never deducted from it. No royalty pools. No opaque distribution systems. No label taking 80% of nothing. No distributor sitting between an artist and their fan. We collect the pennies, the artist gets the price. Because that's the way it should have always been.

  • Human Music Verification. Every piece of music on the Epoch Music App must be created by a human artist - human written, human performed. Artists attest to this standard at every upload. We enforce it rigorously and without exception. The independent music economy is under real threat from AI-generated content, and we are drawing a hard line around it. This platform exists for human artists. Full stop.

  • Transparent Split Sheets. Every artist and every collaborator has real-time, auditable financial records of all payments and splits, exportable at any time, from within their own account. There is no human process holding up the money. No waiting 60, 90, or 120 days for a statement that may or may not be accurate. Payments are instant. Records are live. Everyone who is owed money can see exactly what they're owed and when they received it.

  • Fan-Direct Connection. Fans support artists directly, instantly, and from anywhere in the world - with no financial intermediary capturing any portion of what the fan intended to give. The engine that makes this possible is Bitcoin's Lightning Network. But you don’t need to understand Bitcoin to participate. Artists can receive payments in their native currency. The magic of Lightning is that it moves money across the globe in seconds, with no bank, no wire fee, no payment processor taking a cut. This is not a crypto play. This is financial infrastructure, the same rails that will one day power the global economy and we just deployed it in service of independent artists today. Way ahead of its time.

  • Bitcoin-Native Infrastructure. The proprietary payment ledger that runs the Epoch Music App is the technological backbone of everything we're building. Powered by Lightspark on the Lightning Network, it processes instant global payments, manages real-time split distributions to every collaborator on a track, and maintains an auditable financial record for every transaction on the platform. Using the Lightning Network is not just a technical decision. It is a values statement; that artist autonomy matters more than the convenience of legacy systems that were never built with artists in mind.

  • Mission-Driven Capital Deployment. Our governance documents legally define how every dollar of Company revenue is deployed, and none of it is discretionary. 30% covers operating costs. 50% flows directly into the Epoch One Music Guild Working Fund; the active capital pool that issues grants, funds independent touring, supports recording infrastructure, and drives global artist development programs for the independent music community. 20% is designated permanently to the Epoch One Music Guild Reserve — a strategic endowment built to outlive the platform itself. These allocations are not targets or goals. They are locked into our governance structure and legally binding on every current and future shareholder. The mission - to protect human-made independent music - is funded first. Always.

  • The Epoch One Music Guild Reserve — A Permanent Endowment for Independent Music. Every dollar that flows into the Epoch Music Guild Strategic Reserve is converted to Bitcoin and held in cold storage. The Guild Reserve is the long-term financial foundation of everything we are building — a permanently accumulating Bitcoin endowment governed by strict multi-signature controls that no single person, founder, or investor can access alone. When the Reserve reaches 21 Bitcoin, it will mature. At that point, up to 5% of its trailing annual value will be distributed every year as Mission Dividends to every equity holder — artists, investors, and employees alike. Guild artists hold a protected floor of at least 60% of every Mission Dividend distribution, permanently shielded from dilution no matter how many investors or shareholders come after them. In the event the Company is ever acquired, the Reserve does not transfer to the buyer. It moves into an irrevocable independent trust and keeps compounding and distributing - to independent musicians forever. There is no exit that touches the endowment. It outlasts us all.

  • Artist Self-Governance. The programs that deploy capital on behalf of the independent music community are not controlled by the Company's founders. The Epoch One Music Guild Working Fund is governed by the Artist Council, a nine-member elected body drawn from active Guild membership. A collective of 2100 artists will vote for the council representatives who then vote on which programs get funded, at what level, and in what priority. The Company executes against the mission. The artists decide what independent musicians really need. To be clear, this is not a foundation where a board of executives decides what's good for artists. This is public benefit company where artists are governing their own resources — with full public transparency on every decision made.

3. How Our Revenue Works

The Epoch Music App charges a single, transparent fee: an additive 10% on every fan-to-artist payment, paid by the fan when the payment is sent. If a fan sends an artist $1.00, the payment is $1.10 total. The artist receives $1.00 instantly. The Company's receipt is $0.10.

While collecting pennies might seem insignificant on the surface, consider this: fans spend $63.6 billion every year on global streaming app subscriptions. If independent artists transition even 1% of those fans to direct payments that moves $636 million directly to artists, not to Epoch Music App, to artists. Then, approximately $63.6 million in pennies flows into the Epoch One Music Guild which continues to give back by funding the global independent music community.

An important distinction about revenue: fan payments are not Company revenue. The Epoch Music App is a pass-through platform; every dollar a fan sends goes directly and instantly to the artist it was intended for. If we, as an independent movement, move $636 million away from streaming platforms all $636 million flows straight back to independent artists. We don’t touch it. We never claim it. It was never ours.

What we do collect is the pennies. For every $1.00 the fan sends they pay $1.10. That extra $0.10 is our receipt, paid by the fan on top of the artist's payment. Across millions of tiny transactions, those pennies add up. At $636 million in fan payments, that's $63.6 million in pennies, collected one dime at a time, entirely funded by fans, never deducted from a single artist's earnings.

Those pennies are what flow into the Epoch One Music Guild. Which funds grants and builds the endowment. Those pennies will reinvigorate a dying independent music scene by supporting independent touring, artist development, recording infrastructure and more - all for the benefit of the global independent music community.

The streaming era was built on the idea that fractions of a cent would make an independent music career viable. Instead, the platforms kept the cents and funded tech executives' lavish lifestyles. We aim to prove that the same math, applied differently, will not just revitalize independent music but help build generational wealth for the people who actually make the music.

THE THREE FUNDS

The first win is artists receiving 636 Million in direct payments. The second win is Phantom Power Music’s commitment to continue to deploy earnings across three distinct funds. The allocation percentages are legally written into our governance documents and cannot be changed without unanimous shareholder consent.

The Guild Reserve. 20% of all revenue goes into the Company's long-term strategic reserve, held in Bitcoin. It compounds permanently. This is the special magic that funds the long-term endowment. No founder, investor, or single shareholder can access it alone. Any withdrawal requires a two-thirds supermajority vote with founding shareholder protection. In the event of a future sale, the Reserve does not transfer, it moves into an irrevocable trust to continue funding independent music forever. At 1% scale that's $12.7 million added to the endowment every single year.

The Guild Working Fund. 50% of all revenue is earmarked for active program capital, at 1% scale, nearly $31.8 million per year will be committed to artist-facing distributions, grants, independent touring support, community education, industry advocacy, and events globally. Governed entirely by artists themselves through the elected Artist Council.

The Operations Fund. 30% of net receipts (approximately $19 million at 1% scale) funds the business: platform infrastructure, engineering, legal, marketing, customer support, and officer salaries. The Operations Fund may not fund the Guild Reserve or Guild Working Fund under any circumstances.

This legally designed structure means the business, the artists, and the long-term endowment all grow together . All for the betterment of independent musicians worldwide. We are not making promises. We have legally committed to it.

4. The Epoch One Music Guild

The Epoch One Music Guild is our artist equity and profit-sharing program. The Epoch Guild is the heart of what makes Phantom Power Music different. Guild members are not customers. They are strategic partners in the global mission, to save human-made independent music. Joining and being accepted to the guild is a reward for building the platform alongside us.

The Guild is organized into three tiers. Membership is by application or invitation. It is not automatic or inferred for any user of the app. Any artist may use the Epoch Music App and receive fan payments as a platform user. Guild membership is a separate, earned status that comes with equity, profit sharing, and a long-term stake in what we’re building.

The founding Guild period runs through January 2032, “Epoch One”. Guild equity vests over those four years as long as members remain in active participation. At the close of Epoch One, artists who completed specific milestones will become fully vested. Open spots will be redefined or offered to a second cohort post 2032. The Epoch One Music Guild will remain active for a minimum of six years from formation of the Public Benefit Corporation in 2026.

Guild Tier 1 — Founding Artists (21 artists)

Founding Artists are the proof of concept. These are the highest-commitment tier artists. They are selected by unanimous agreement of the founding shareholders based on a demonstrated commitment to the global independent music community, mission alignment, and artistic credibility among peers. This is invitation only.

Founding Artists receive a restricted equity stake in the Company that vests in 2032, quarterly profit-sharing distributions from the Guild Working Fund, the opportunity to apply for grant funding, and Mission Dividends once the Epoch One Guild Reserve reaches its maturity.

In addition to building their own fan base, Founding Artists publicly share their Epoch experience and earnings stories willingly. They share the mission and give other artists a direct path to join. All equity artists are required to release music on the platform annually as paid Drops and to participate in at least one Company case study or interview per year. This is not a scripted promotion. It is an artist telling the truth about how they get paid, why it is time to change streaming economics, and how we need to protect human-made music from the threat of AI - all in their own voice.

Guild Tier 2 — Epoch One Music Guild Vanguard Ambassadors (210 artists)

Epoch One Vanguard Ambassadors are active builders of the movement. These are artists who have used the app, recruited ten or more artists to the platform and publicly advocate for human-made independent music. Entry is by invitation, application, or promotion from the Vanguard Community Leader tier.

Ambassadors receive a restricted equity stake that vests over four active years, plus an option to purchase additional shares at fair market value upon full vest. They receive quarterly profit-sharing distributions and Mission Dividends alongside Tier 1 artists.

To maintain active Ambassador status, artists must continue releasing music on the platform annually as paid Drops. The full vesting milestone also includes a recruitment target — bringing a meaningful number of additional artists to the platform over the four-year period.

Guild Tier 3 — The Vanguard Community Advocate (up to 1,869 artists)

Community Advocates are the grassroots global network. These are artists who have discovered the platform and are professionally aspiring independent musicians. Advocates apply through an online application and the elected Artist Council reviews and approves their membership. To qualify, an artist must have been active on the platform for at least six months, released music as paid Drops (4 singles or 1 Album), demonstrated real fan engagement, is actively building toward 1000 True Fans and be in good standing with no payment disputes or artistic violations.

Community Advocates receive quarterly profit-sharing distributions. Unlike Tier 1 and Tier 2, they do not yet hold equity. The primary benefit is a contractual profit share and they must qualify each quarter through their own on-platform activity and referral count. Advocates have a clear pathway to promote to Vanguard Ambassador (to earn equity participation) and they also can qualify to serve on the artist council which will award equity shares for service.

Community Advocate designation is renewed annually. Advocates who fall below the activity threshold in any quarter will not participate in that quarter’s distribution but if they remain in good standing, they can re-qualify at the next review without reapplying.

The True Fan Pathway

Epoch One Music Guild equity and profit sharing are not earned by chasing vanity metrics. They are earned by building real relationships with real fans. A True Fan is someone who has supported a single artist with $100 or more in a single calendar year. Not a follower. Not a stream. A person who chose to invest in an artist they believe in.

The music industry has spent two decades convincing artists that millions of passive listeners is the goal. We are proposing something different: stop chasing the crowd and start building your community. 1,000 True Fans generating $100 each is $100,000 in direct annual income — from fans who know your name, buy your music, and show up to shows. No label. No distributor. No algorithm deciding who gets paid today.

All equity Guild members must be actively working toward this goal. The pathway is a part of your vesting schedule and has four stages:

  • Year 1 , The Gate (100 True Fans). Reaching 100 True Fans unlocks equity vesting. One hundred people choosing to invest $100 in your music is $10,000 in direct fan support — more than most independent artists earn from streaming in a decade. If an artist does not reach 100 True Fans by Month 12, the probationary period extends until the threshold is met. No vesting occurs until it is reached. No penalty for taking longer. The gate just stays open.

  • Year 2 — Momentum (250 True Fans). A guidepost, not a gate. The snowball is rolling. Vesting continues regardless of pace.

  • Year 3 — The Tipping Point (500 True Fans). This is where the flywheel kicks in. At 500 True Fans an artist has $50,000 or more in cumulative direct fan support and a community large enough to sustain itself. True Fans bring other True Fans. The growth stops feeling like work and starts feeling like gravity.

  • Year 4 — Full Vest (1,000 True Fans). An artist who reaches 1,000 True Fans has built a six-figure direct income stream without a label, without a distributor, without an algorithm deciding who gets paid. The equity is the bonus. The career is the prize.

Vesting at Year 4 is proportional: 600 True Fans = 60% of the equity stake. 1,000 True Fans = full vest. There is no all-or-nothing cliff. Our job is to help artists build self-sustaining careers, and artists earn as they build. We won't penalize you for not hitting the milestone, but we can promise you this: the artists who do will be happier, richer, and more financially free than they ever imagined possible as an independent musician.

The Human-Made Music Standard

All music on the Epoch Music App must be human-created, human written, human performed. Artists must attest to this standard at every upload.

False attestation is treated as fraud against the Company, the Epoch One Music Guild, and every artist and fan on the platform. It is not a performance failure subject to cure. Tier 1 and Tier 2 artists who submit AI-generated content forfeit all vested and unvested equity immediately and permanently. Community Advocates will be permanently removed from the Guild. There is no appeal process for AI content.

We conduct periodic audits. Violations discovered at any time, including any that fall through or are discovered after the fact, carry the full consequence of this policy.

5. The Artist Council

The Epoch One Artist Council is a nine-member elected body drawn from active Guild membership. It governs the allocation of the Guild Working Fund’s discretionary programs. This is the pool of funds (50% of net receipts) that directly impact independent musicians. It will fund artist development, independent touring, recording support, community education, industry advocacy, and events globally. Any Epoch Music App user including our Epoch One Guild Members can apply for support through the Fund’s programs.

The Council is composed of three Founding Artists (The 21), two Vanguard Ambassadors (The 210), two Community Advocates (1896), and two at-large members elected by the full (The 2100) Guild membership. No single tier may hold more than three seats at any time. All nine members are voting members of the use of Funds.

Artist Council members serve a maximum of two one-year terms over during their Guild membership, consecutive or not. Once a member has served two terms, they are permanently ineligible for re-election in any capacity. Elections are held annually each December, effective January 1 of the following year. Results are published in our annual Public Record Report.

The executive team creates a strategic plan each year with many options for how funds can be spent. This team will comprise of information submitted from the entire Guild body. Requests from every region of the world will be considered through the Epoch One Music Guild Body and strategic program managers assigned to specific regions.

The CEO attends all Artist Council meetings as a non-voting Corporate Representative. A Founding Shareholder must be present for all discussions, raising legal or governance concerns in real time, but the CEO casts no vote on any grant, program, or Council matter. This is not optional and cannot be waived. Artists decide the use of funds - always.

The Artist Council’s authority is to review each years strategic plan and provide input. Their primary responsibility is to vote on the implementation of initiatives quarterly. Execution and disbursement are the responsibility of the CEO and designated staff. The CEO may decline to execute a Council-approved program but only if doing so would create a material legal, financial, or governance risk to the Company. Any such override will be documented in writing and published in full in the Public Record Report. All details about the override including the Council’s original vote, the CEO’s reasoning, and the disposition of funds will be included in the report.

The Artist Council has no authority over the Guild Reserve, the Operations Fund, founder compensation, investment decisions, or platform product decisions. Its authority is limited to discretionary Guild Working Fund programs that hold the largest balances and impact independent artists directly.

6. The epoch one music Guild Strategic Reserve

The Epoch One Music Guild Strategic Reserve is the Company’s long-term strategic reserve. It is Bitcoin-denominated and governed by strict multi-signature wallet requirements. It is not an operating account. It compounds permanently. It is the foundation of the long-term Epoch One Music Endowment and the source of Mission Dividends when it reaches maturity.

GOVERNANCE PROTECTIONS

  • Supermajority required. Any withdrawal from the Epoch One Music Guild Reserve requires an affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of total voting interests, with at least one Original Founding Shareholder among the approving voters.

  • No unilateral access. No single shareholder can access the Reserve alone. Any unilateral access attempt is a material breach of the governance agreement.

  • Investor protection. Outside investors cannot access the Guild Reserve on their own, regardless of their collective voting interest

  • Written authorization required. Every transaction must be documented with a written record stating the purpose, amount, and approving shareholders. This record is retained in Company files and disclosed in the next Public Record Report.

PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS

The Epoch One Music Guild Reserve may only be used for a limited set of explicitly listed purposes:

  • Guild equity redemptions when artists elect to redeem vested stakes at the annual Redemption Window

  • Artist Council-approved mission expenditures that exceed the available Guild Working Fund balance in a given quarter

  • Emergency platform continuity if operating revenue falls below three months of documented operating costs

  • Investor obligations approved unanimously by all shareholders

  • Strategic asset acquisitions approved unanimously with a written mission compatibility finding

WHAT THE GUILD RESERVE CAN NEVER FUND

The Epoch One Music Guild Reserve may never be used for founder compensation, personal draws, or personal expenses of any shareholder. It may never fund marketing, advertising, promotional spend, legal settlements, litigation costs, or dispute resolution. It may not be used for any purpose not explicitly listed in our governance documents without unanimous shareholder consent and a formal written amendment.

Endowment Mode — Mission Dividends

Once the Epoch One Music Guild Reserve reaches 21 Bitcoin, it enters Endowment Maturity. At that point, up to 5% of the Reserve's trailing annual growth can be distributed each year to all equity holders as Mission Dividends. The principal is never touched. Only the growth funds the dividends. The core stack compounds permanently.

Founding Epoch One Music Guild artists hold a protected floor of at least 60% of every Mission Dividend distribution. This floor is permanent and protected from dilution by future capital raises, employee equity pools, or any expansion of the shareholder base. It is unamendable without unanimous founding shareholder consent and a supermajority vote of the sitting Artist Council.

The formal dividend distribution mechanic is defined in the Redemption Policy, to be established no later than January 2031 — well before the Reserve is projected to reach Endowment Maturity.

In the event of an acquisition, the Guild Reserve does not transfer to the acquiring entity. It moves into an irrevocable trust — the Epoch Music Guild Endowment Trust — and keeps compounding and distributing to everyone who held equity at the time of acquisition, permanently.

7. Mission Protection

The Company’s public benefit purpose cannot be removed, amended, or materially diluted without a two-thirds supermajority of all shareholders and the affirmative vote of at least two of the three Original Founding Shareholders. The following provisions are unamendable without unanimous shareholder consent: the Public Benefit Purpose Statement, the revenue fund deployment structure, the Guild Reserve governance and prohibited drawdown rules, the acquisition restrictions, and the no-mission-drift provision.

Acquisition Restrictions

No sale, merger, acquisition, or transfer of a majority interest may be consummated if it would materially impair the Company’s public benefit purpose. Any such transaction requires unanimous written consent of all shareholders, a written mission compatibility finding stating how the public benefit purpose will be preserved, and at least 30 days’ advance notice to all Epoch One Music Guild members.

Guild Reserve Protection Upon Acquisition

In any acquisition, the Guild Reserve does not transfer to the acquiring entity. It is placed into an irrevocable independent trust — the Epoch Music Guild Endowment Trust — which continues compounding and distributing Mission Dividends to all equity holders who held shares at the time of acquisition, proportional to their ownership at closing. This trust cannot be dissolved, acquired, merged, or redirected by any party, including a future acquirer.

B-Corp Certification

We are committed to pursuing Certified B Corporation status from B Lab within 24 months of commercial launch of the Epoch Music platform. Progress is reported annually in our Public Record Report.

Succession and Continuity

In the event that fewer than two of the three Original Founding Shareholders are able to serve in their governance roles, the remaining shareholder(s) must appoint a Succession Board within 90 days. Until that board is constituted, all Guild Reserve transactions are frozen — no withdrawals, no Bitcoin purchases, no key reassignments. The Succession Board assumes the governance protections previously held by the founding shareholders, with authority limited to preserving the mission. It may not amend the Public Benefit Purpose, alter the fund deployment structure, or approve an acquisition without unanimous board approval.

8. Our Transparency Commitment

Phantom Power Music, operating as Epoch Music App and Epoch One Music Guild, will publish an annual transparency report known as The Public Record Report, within 90 days of each fiscal year close. It is published at a permanent public URL and retained for a minimum of seven years. This is not optional. Failure to publish is a breach of our governance agreement.

Each report shall disclose, at minimum:

  • Total gross fan payments processed and total direct-to-artist distributions

  • Complete revenue breakdown: how every dollar was deployed across all three funds, with exact dollar amounts

  • Guild Reserve: Bitcoin balance, full acquisition history, current USD value, and every withdrawal with stated purpose and shareholder authorization

  • Guild Working Fund: every allocation and grant awarded, including artist name, amount, purpose, and outcome report status

  • Operations Fund: total spend by category and total founder compensation drawn

  • Guild distributions: quarterly amounts to all tiers, including fiat vs. Bitcoin election breakdown

  • Artist Council: election results, all votes cast, any CEO overrides with full stated reasoning

  • Mission commitments: B-Corp certification progress and status of any other public commitments

Any shareholder may compel publication by written notice. If the report is not published within 30 days of that notice, any shareholder may arrange independent publication at Company expense.

Transparency is not a reporting requirement. It is the foundation of our mission.

9. Founder Compensation

Founding shareholder compensation is funded exclusively from the Epoch One Music Operations Fund. It is subject to caps that scale with Company revenue and increase in defined steps as the business grows. The caps apply to total combined founder draws — all founding shareholders are subject to identical limits regardless of role.

Founders may not draw compensation from the Epoch One Music Guild Reserve or the Epoch One Music Guild Working Fund under any circumstances. Compensation above the applicable cap requires unanimous shareholder consent and full public disclosure in the Public Record Report.

All founder compensation — every dollar, every period — is disclosed annually in the Public Record Report. There are no exceptions.

10. A Note on Our Structure

Phantom Power Music is a Tennessee For-Profit Benefit Corporation. We are not a nonprofit. We believe the most durable way to serve independent artists is to build a financially sustainable company that earns money by making artists money. Profit and mission are not in conflict here. They are the same thing.

The Epoch One Music Guild, the Epoch One Music Guild Reserve, the Epoch One Music Guild Artist Council, and the Public Record Report are not marketing brands. They are legally binding commitments written into our legal governance documents and enforceable by every shareholder. They are not aspirational. They are the architecture.

We built this structure because independent artists deserve a place to manage their independent music business in a way that benefits them. This structure was intentionally designed to be incapable of betraying them (again) it is not just a promise it is purpose built.

A Note on Our Founders

We are not tech founders. We are not venture capitalists. We are not investors looking for the next big platform play. We are independent musicians, just like you. Artists who have been grinding for decades, who have lived inside the broken system, felt the indignity of a $7.00 royalty payment, and decided enough is enough.

The streaming era was built on the idea that fractions of a cent would make an independent music career viable. Instead, the platforms kept the cents and funded tech executives' lavish lifestyles. We built Phantom Power Music, and then the Epoch Music App, because we need independent music to survive the threat of AI. Because we are independent musicians too.

We looked in every corner of the music industry for a solution that delivered on the promise of independence. We couldn't find one. So we built it.

We knew the system was broken; breaking our fellow artists financially, creatively, and personally. We were done waiting for someone else to fix it.

We are not asking you to trust us. We designed this so your trust is never required. The protections are legal. The commitments are binding. The transparency is mandatory. We built it this way on purpose, because we are artists just like you, and we know exactly what happens when the people holding the money ask you to just trust them.

We are done asking artists to trust the platform. So we built a new music business where you don't have to trust anyone.
