Building a Music App need some insight

by Jermaine Vanryck

We are building a music app that allows people to invest in musicians and create their own label. I am looking for people to look over the site and shed some feedback on the project.

    Joined waiting list.

    • justify why want Phone Number & LinkedIn.

    Decent website:
    -Remove "people helping us grow" for tools that you happen to use.

    Model seems unclear

    Frankly, anyone already CAN "create a record label", like I did with Cerulean Sounds, simply by releasing through DistroKid (https://distrokid.com/vip/seven/2558010).

      Thanks for your insight .. we were told about the "people helping us grow.." so you might be on to something so we are thinking of removing it ..
      the problem we are solving is more money for unsigned artist ( and passive income for investors that yield better returns than the stock market ) .. releasing a song through SNOUNDS will yield more money for musicians .. we do that in a couple of ways .. I would say anyone can release a song but not a label .. I would love to connect with you and get some of your feed back since we are almost in the same line of work

        It looks good. I like the idea! I was left wondering:

        Do artists get money up front? The "collaborate on a song" part... do you choose the beat? The lyrics? Choose which of their unreleased songs to support? What is the minimum and maximum you can invest? How long do the royalties last or do they expire? Can multiple people invest in one song?

          Yes musicians get money upfront ..( once the song is completed ) Yes .. all parties work together to select beats .. ( the musicians do the lyrics .. they are the ones writing the song .. fans don't interfere with that ) .. Minimum investment is 25USD Max as of now $2000 USD ... you get to keep the royalties forever .. though you bring up a good point we may cap it ... and Yes people can invest in multiple songs
