Independent Music Artist: Early Platform Programme (Global / Remote)

Independent Music Artist – Early Platform Programme

Location: Remote / Global
Engagement: Independent Artist Programme
Earnings: Direct artist earnings through platform participation
Initial Cohort: Limited to approximately 100 artists

Our client, an innovative music technology start-up, is seeking ambitious independent music artists to join the first cohort of artists on its new music and fan-engagement platform.

This opportunity is specifically designed for artists who consider their music to be a serious part of their career and want to build sustainable income from their creativity.

The platform has been built around a simple belief:

Artists should not need millions of streams before their music starts generating meaningful income.

Instead of relying solely on passive streaming, the platform enables artists to build direct relationships with the people who genuinely support their work and monetise that community.

You do not need thousands of followers to be considered. You do, however, need a minimum of 10 genuine supporters who you reasonably believe would actively support your music if they were given the opportunity to support you directly.

These could be existing fans, friends, family or people already following your musical journey.

As an example, 100 genuine supporters on our client's platform could generate an artist at least US$400 per month in recurring income.

For many independent artists, significantly larger streaming audiences currently generate far less.
The question is therefore not simply:
How many people listen to my music?
It is:
How many people genuinely support me as an artist?

Our client is initially looking to select approximately 100 independent artists to join the platform ahead of its wider rollout.
