About the company

Tees, tours, and fan clubs can offer incremental revenue for artists, but shouldn’t come at the expense of creating art. We’ll constantly listen, learn, and make adjustments as we work towards building a totally different kind of music industry that puts artists and listeners first.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Our vision for the future is ambitious: we want to honor the value of music by giving a million artists the opportunity to live off their art.</p>
