Join SOUND

SOUND was founded on the conviction that the people who make music deserve to live on it — not on fractions of a penny extracted from a system designed to obscure how little they receive.

Artists who sign direct licensing agreements with SOUND during the Founding Period — defined as the first six (6) months following the public launch of the platform — shall receive a permanent stream multiplier of 1.05x. Every qualifying stream from a Founding Artist’s catalog shall be counted as 1.05 streams in the monthly Artist Pool calculation for the lifetime of the artist’s catalog on SOUND. The Founding Artist Multiplier is a recognition of the risk these artists accept by licensing to an unproven platform. It cannot be reduced or revoked while the artist’s catalog remains on SOUND.
