The Gatekeeper's Pledge

Music United uses a single, transparent rate — 10p per megabyte— tied to file size. You can always see how pricing is calculated.

Your streams, follower counts from connected platforms like Mixcloud, global reach, and live listener activity all appear in one place so you can clearly see what is growing.

Share your music to other platforms, then bring the audience signals back together so you can see the full picture of your reach.

Artists create their own events — gigs, listening parties, meet-ups — and sell digital tickets directly through the platform. Tickets are tied to the buyer's account, verified at the door with a live QR scan, and non-transferable by design. The price you set is the price the listener pays.

Every Listener Patron subscription goes straight into the Patron Fund — paying artists to perform, covering venue hire, and creating real nights out for the community. If money is left after an event, it goes to a local charity in the area where it was held.

Artists go live and perform directly to anyone who tunes in — intimate sessions, DJ sets, acoustic showcases, and everything in between. Every broadcast gets its own page in the events listing with the date, time, and artist details.

When it’s live, listeners tune in. When it pauses, they can check the schedule and plan what to catch next. Real music, happening as it happens.

Artists who opt in flag their tracks as licence-free — ready for any DJ or radio station with a Music United membership to play with total creative freedom. A growing catalogue of music that wants to be heard, with direct connections between the artists who made it and the people spinning their tracks.

This is how we unlock creativity. A growing catalogue of licence-free music, and a direct line between artists and the people who play their tracks.

Every great platform needs a map. Ours is drawn like a transit line — clear stations, honest progress, and a destination shaped entirely by the community. See where we've been, where we are now, and where you can take us next.

When you press play, the music should just be there. Streaming is free for every artist, and we keep improving performance so your music plays quickly for listeners wherever they are.

Streaming is already free for every artist. Next, we are bringing playback performance even closer to listeners worldwide. It's on the roadmap, and it's coming.

Music United is built by a small team that listens. We move fast, stay lean, and respond quickly to the community — because the people who use this platform should help shape it.

Patron and Artist Pro members submit feature requests and vote on what gets built next through the Road Map Forum. The highest-voted ideas move into active development. You help steer the platform as it grows.

Being on Music United means being discoverable across the internet. Every artist profile and release is readable by search engines, smart assistants, and music apps, so listeners can find your music more easily.

Your music, delivered every way we can — open to every tool and service that helps people discover music.
