For Artists
Submit Your Music for Review.
Learn about the True Son Media artist program and submit music for review. Applying is free; a one-time $25 activation fee is paid only after approval and your accepted artist agreement.
Program status
Apply free — activation happens after approval
Music submissions stay open. The path is: free application → private review and approval → review and accept the artist agreement → one-time $25 activation → required payout verification → eligible storefront access. Approval never charges anything; the one-time $25 activation fee is paid explicitly by you, only after you accept the approved agreement.
Published, approved releases from active artists are free to hear in full without an account or purchase. Upload full songs; preview clips are optional. Purchases and download permissions remain separate.
How it works
Your music. Your ownership. Your sales.

Accounting
Nothing is quietly deducted
The artist model takes 0% True Son Media commission on artist music sales. Artist fan subscriptions are a separate product and follow the approved 20% True Son Media / 80% artist split. Sales tax, legally required tax withholding, payment-processing charges, refunds, disputes and chargebacks are recorded separately and itemised in your dashboard. Those are not True Son Media commission. Terms are set out in the artist agreement.
Submit Your Music
Submission is free and does not guarantee approval. Nothing is charged while your application is pending or rejected. After approval, you review and accept the artist agreement, then pay the one-time $25 activation fee explicitly. When selling, payment-processing charges, taxes, refunds, disputes and chargebacks may affect final payout amounts. Artists must complete required payment-provider verification before receiving payouts.
