Streaming Offset Program.
Did you know the average person streams 25 songs per day? Predatory streaming platforms only pay artists an average of $0.0043 per stream and shrinking.
This means your daily stream impact only pays $0.10 to artists. What's worse, only $0.01 goes to local independent artists who need it most.
As a result, they struggle to cover basic necessities, essential studio sessions and holistic resources like yoga and therapy.
Your donation helps artists achieve sustainability by providing them with paid studio time and access to holistic services today.
Direct Help
Your donation directly gives artists studio time and support for their mental well-being.
Full Care
Artists also get yoga, therapy, and wellness guidance from Holistic Practitioners.
Strong Careers
Your support helps artists make great music, grow their careers, and achieve sustainablity.
