SoundCloud changed how artists get paid. Each listener's money follows what they actually play, not what's popular platform-wide. This concept makes that shift visible through a community experience where fans see their support count and artists see who's really listening.

Vision
A SoundCloud where fan support is visible, and where artists can finally see the people behind their plays.
Fan Powered is built on transparency, equity, community, and empowerment. For those to land, fans need to understand how their activity influences what their favourite artists earn, and artists need to identify and engage the listeners actually driving their growth. Both sides matter equally.
- 01
For fans connect with favourite artists · discover new favourites · interact with other fans · see how their activity counts toward an artist's success · be recognised as active supporters · mingle around shows and exchange picks.
- 02
For artists identify and reach their fans · understand the shape of their fanbase · build direct relationships with their most engaged listeners.
