About
Built for the culture. Owned by the community.
RAAYDR is built by people who make music, produce music, and spend too much money going to see it live. If the last decade of streaming worked for you, this platform isn’t for you. If it didn’t, welcome.
The industry isn't broken. It was built this way.
Streaming was designed to reward volume over connection. A formula, not a relationship. That's not an accident. That's the business model.
We believe artists should be able to earn a living from their music alone. That producers and songwriters should be paid the moment their work plays, not chase a statement months later. That the people with the ears to find music first should be paid for that instinct. That the people who listen should know exactly where their money goes, and have a real say in what happens next.
That's not a feature. That's why RAAYDR exists.
RAAYDR is an independent music streaming platform that pays the artists you actually listen to. No pooled royalties, no black-box algorithm, no gatekeepers. Your subscription follows your listening, and you can trace where it went.
The split is simple and public. £5.99 a month from a Day One: £0.99 is ringfenced for the tastemakers who find music first, RAAYDR keeps 30% of the remainder to run the platform, and £3.50 is that member’s artist money. It follows the artists they actually listened to, divided by attention, not by play count. Producers and songwriters are paid automatically from splits built into every record.
We’re launching in waves. The first 1,000 Day Ones lock in £5.99 forever and fund the first cohort of independent artists on the platform. After that, membership opens at £7.99. Early counts here.
Frequently asked questions
Because the standard streaming model pays artists fractions of a penny no matter how much a real fan listens, and that gap between listener love and artist income felt worth fixing directly.
No, RAAYDR is independent, built specifically to work for independent artists and the people who support them without a major label layer in between.
