Listen to the verses on your beats, decide who sounds best and build with them! Rappers: it costs nothing to record now!

NVTD was built from the pitfalls of an independent music career — missed credits, disorganized collaborations, no one looking out for the next opportunity. NVTD exists so artists, producers, and industry pros coming up now don't have to learn it the same way. And it's free, because the right tools and the right people shouldn't be the obstacle standing between you and your career. DISCOVER Browse the entire NVTD community, or narrow your search by role — Artists, Producers, Writers, DJs, and more — to find exactly who your next project needs. NVTD CALLS Can't find the right collaborator by browsing? Post a Call describing exactly who or what you need, and it goes live on the Call Board for the right person to find. Share it beyond NVTD too: straight to Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Facebook. PROFILE A photo only tells half the story. Open with an intro video so people hear your voice and feel your energy before the first message is ever sent. Build your network, showcase your music, spotlight who you've collaborated with, list upcoming shows and tour dates, and keep track of everything on your plate — all from one place. Set your status to Available, Open to Connect, or Unavailable so the right people know exactly when to reach out. SAINT - YOUR VIRTUAL MANAGER Most artists go without a manager for years. SAINT closes that gap. It learns your current goals and the ones you're working toward, then surfaces real opportunities — sorted into Paid, Unpaid, and Exposure — matched to where you are. The more you use it, the better it gets at working for you. LIVE ROOMS Live Rooms allow up to eight NVTD members to connect simultaneously in a live audio session. Whether you’re workshopping a collaboration, organizing an event, or simply talking through a project with your team, Live Rooms puts the conversation in the same place as everything else — no third-party app, no switching tabs, no lost context. It’s the creative meeting room NVTD members have always needed, now built in. MESSAGES Where the actual collaboration begins. Talk through ideas and project details without the noise. TOOLS The part too many artists learn to regret skipping. Create split sheets directly with your collaborators to properly document credits and contributions from day one. Connect your PRO membership to pull the registration data you need, exactly when you need it. NVTD is free for every artist, producer, writer, DJ, and industry professional ready to build something real. Download now and start where the work actually starts.
