For Independent Artists

Be an artist on AudioMama

Give your fans an immersive experience.

Get paid directly. Get paid fairly. Get paid now.

AudioMama gives your fans an option they don't have on streaming services: they can download your music uncompressed and they can support you directly in one click. And you can rest at night knowing your music is not funding crimes against humanity.

~850
Spotify streams
is what a fan would need to play your song for you to earn what one $3 AudioMama download gives you. And streaming royalties take 30 to 60 days to land. AudioMama pays your bank account immediately.
Where your work won't be used

Your music's revenue will never fund weapons, surveillance, or harm.

AudioMama is not funded by, nor invested in, any firm with ties to weapons manufacturing, surveillance technology, or harm to human beings. We have no institutional investors. The platform is independently owned and being established as a UK charity.

Unlike the major streaming platforms, whose top institutional shareholders are named in UN reports on arms transfers and conflict financing, your earnings on AudioMama flow through a structure designed from day one to exclude that money.

AudioMama is also where the work that doesn't fit on streaming services can live: extended versions, acoustic cuts, alternate-language mixes, demos, live takes, anything you've made that the radio edit left behind. Streaming has room for one version of each song. AudioMama doesn't.

Questions

Common Questions

How long until Phase 2?
We target Q2 2026 — roughly 6 months from now. We'll send regular updates to everyone on the artist waitlist.
What if my audio isn't 96kHz?
AudioMama works with any quality you have. We prefer high-resolution masters, but we'll help you upgrade if you want to. There's no minimum threshold.
Do I have to leave other platforms?
No. Your music can be on Spotify, Apple Music, and AudioMama simultaneously. We're not exclusive. Reach more listeners everywhere.
Is there a cost to upload?
Completely free. No upfront cost. No distributor fees. No monthly fees. You only pay processing fees when you make a sale.
How do I get paid?
Direct to your bank account immediately after each download. We support all major payment methods including international transfers and eventually crypto.
What happens to my music if AudioMama closes?
You own your files. As a registered charity, we have a legal obligation to ensure your music is returned to you, or help you migrate to another platform. Your work is never held hostage.
