Artists choose how much they want to sell, for how long and at what price, while keeping ownership and control of their music. But Strade Base goes beyond ownership. Artists can also upload music to Strade Discovery TM, where DJs can discover, playlist and connect with them, while labels, fans and others can make direct offers for a share of their streaming royalties.
