Crowd Music is an Industry Renovator. We value music and realize that today’s music creators are being robbed of their intellectual property.

We pay Music Creators far more than any other platform, and we pay Music Listeners for promoting the Artists & Bands who provide exclusive songs on our platform.

Our subscription based model uses a hybrid of social/referral marketing that creates a win-win for everyone.
