Problem
Emerging artists struggle to get their music heard and monetized, leaving social media algorithms as their only promotional avenue. After exhausting gimmicks to hack these algorithms, artists are left frustrated with fake followers instead of genuine fans.
Solution

Fans earn clout and status based on their ear for music assistance in identifying next top artists, while artists unlock income directly from their fandom and participation on the platform.
