About Us

Most music software is built for the people taking your money. We're building for the people making the music. One place to release, get paid, and grow — without the industry quietly skimming off the top.

How We Think

principle

We build for clarity.

You should always know where your release stands, where your money is, and who actually owns the audience you've built. No guessing, no waiting on someone else's report.

principle

We build for focus.

Not another tool to wrangle. One place that holds the release together — from upload to rollout to the next song — so you can stay with the music.

principle

We build for the long run.

The more we learn about your music, your fans, and your collaborators, the better the next release goes. The system gets to know you — not the other way around.

We come from publishing, rights, finance, and AI. We've watched the industry shortchange artists for too long. Aumio is what we'd want — if we were the artist.

What We Are Building Toward

direction

One place, not seven

A single home for releasing music, getting paid, growing the audience, and working with your label — instead of seven tools that each take a cut.

direction

An assistant who knows the work

Something that watches the release, suggests the next right move, and quiets the noise instead of adding to it.

direction

Power without the gatekeepers

Independent artists and small labels should be able to move fast, see everything, and keep what they earn.
