Question 1

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Major labels take up to 90% of artist royalties. We are here to help indie artists get funded directly by their supporters.
Musicians customize products around their songs and choose a limited number of super supporters who can receive a percentage of the publishing royalties (Royalties are collected from SOCAN and paid quarterly).

See Terms of Service for complete details.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Royalties are collected by us from SOCAN and paid quarterly to your Creatives account.
You do not have the right to sign up with any performing rights organization or collect royalties directly.
You do not own any rights, title or interest in copyright other than your right to receive a percentage of royalties from us.

Question 3

How is merch produced and shipped?

Accepted Answer

We work closely with trusted local manufacturers to create custom products that bring each musicians vision to life. After the campaign timer ends, we handle fulfillment so musicians can focus on making music.

🚚 Shipping starts 5-10 business days after the campaign ends.

⚠️ If the artist handles their own merch, we cannot guarantee quality or shipping.

Question 4

How will I track my support?

Accepted Answer

It's harder than ever to build an audience for indie artists and streaming royalties does not pay off until it compounds over the years. When you support a campaign, musicians can keep you updated via email with progress and news.
Your support helps indie artists fund their career now!

Question 5

I'm a musician - how do I get started?

Accepted Answer

You can launch a campaign in minutes and get funded directly from your supporters.

✅ Requirement: your song must be registered with a PRO (like SOCAN, ASCAP, or BMI).

We can connect you with designers and manufacturers to help bring your merch ideas to life. Track your campaign, see who's supporting you, and keep your supporters updated through your dashboard.
