You can hear any song ever made. Breaking a new artist only got harder.

A few new ones go up each day, put here by people who heard them first. Press play, and Find one before the crowd.

What We're Building

Every song ever recorded is a tap away. That didn't make new artists easier to find. It made them harder. Charts point you at who's already big. Algorithms feed you more of what you've already played. Neither one hands you the artist nobody's caught yet.

We're building the opposite. A place where people put new artists forward, not an algorithm, and where finding one early is permanent and counts.

If you're reading this, you're early. The catalog is small, and the people Finding now are the ones setting the taste.

For an artist, the promise is narrow and true. Not a bigger megaphone. Not exposure. One real signal from a person who found you early and stayed.

How It Works

Press play on anything. A few new artists go up each day, and a person put each one here. Not a chart, not an algorithm.

You Find an artist once. One Find a day, and never the same artist twice. That's why the number under an artist is real people who found them, not taps.

Every artist you Find is on your record, and the record is the point. Find a lot, and it shows. Find them in their first days, and you're Day One on them: proof you were early, kept for good. Bring others to an artist, or put a new one forward yourself, and that counts too. These aren't followers you piled up. They're receipts that you found them first.

Questions

Is it free?
Yes. Listening and Finding are free. No subscription, no paywall.
Do I need an account to listen?
No. Press play and hear anything. You only sign in when you Find one you want on your record.
Who picks the artists?
People do, not an algorithm. Every artist here was put forward by someone who heard them first.
What's a Find?
It's how you mark an artist you found here, before the crowd. Tap Find, and it's on your record as one of the artists you found early. You Find an artist once, and you get one Find a day.
Can I put an artist forward?
Yes, once you've found ten. Anyone can, but you earn it by Finding first. That keeps the bar on taste, not on who shouts loudest.
Why only three artists a day?
Because more isn't better. Three you actually hear beats a hundred you scroll past.
