CrowOn MUSIC · Artist Direct
Put your own songs on MUSIC yourself.
No label, no distributor. From applying to going live, it all happens in the CrowOn studio.
Apply in the studio
Studio
After you apply, everything happens here.
When you upload a file, its waveform comes up first. Choose where the chorus starts, and anyone who holds your song in MUSIC hears 15 seconds from there.
Who owns the recording, who wrote the song. One question per screen. Depending on your answers, a song waits for a check before it goes live.
Get started
Reach
To 300 people who don't know you yet.
For 90 days after release, a new artist's songs reach up to 300 people who haven't heard them, as hello cards.
At the end of the rights questions, turn on "Allow in Shorts" and other people can make lip sync Shorts with your song. The Short never contains your file; the song only plays beside it, so taking it down removes it from those Shorts too. People who ♡ a song can post it to Home.
