Find Your Song Today
Our song library is constantly updating with new songs added daily!
Here’s just a few of the ways we’re helping creators to change the music industry.
The Right Song + The Right Artist
We’re revolutionizing the “song pitch” by allowing artists to search, explore and uncover original songs WHEN they need them. They can request a first release, obtain a mechanical license, or even use the writer’s demo track for their own performance.
BDT Recording Studio
We can create custom top-quality performance tracks and demos using our team of skilled producers, musicians and singers. Our innovative online platform makes it easy for creators to bring their ideas to life in a seamless process.
Influencer Connections
We offer independent artists and influencers the chance to request a “Test Drive” of our unreleased songs. If they gain traction with their audience, they could then produce a version for national distribution and sync licensing.
Writer + Artist Song Release
We help songwriters collaborate with successful recording artists, including the option to release the resulting recording for digital distribution. Our platform empowers songwriters to become an artist on the songs they create.
Songwriter Compensation
We help songwriters recoup their initial investments (such as copyrighting and demos) by monetizing things like song reservations and performance track leases. Our goal is to help relieve the financial burden and allow them to create at their full potential.
Creator Independence
We provide expert advice and mentorship to help creators succeed without sacrificing independence and creative control. Our in-depth resources and rare access to top industry professionals can help them achieve their goals in music.
