If you've ever discovered an artist before they blew up and felt the rush of being first, Songcry was built for you. Songcry is where music spreads through people. Every song starts in a real city, and the listeners who host it carry it to theirs.

FANS MOVE THE NEEDLE The artists rising on Songcry aren't getting there because of label budgets or paid placement. They're rising because real listeners are paying attention. Nobody pays to be heard, and ranking is not for sale. FOR ARTISTS Songcry is for every artist with music worth hearing, in every genre. • Start in your own city's feed, in front of the people close enough to show up. • Upload the full song, choose how it shows up in the feed, and sync your own video with auto-sync. • Every artist is reviewed by a person, so the feed stays worth listening to. • Your music, your rights. Songcry is not a label. MUSIC ONLY, NO ADS Zero ads in the music feed. Ever. Fake activity doesn't count, so what rises is real. And it's free to join. WHERE SONGCRY IS HEADED We're building Songcry into home base for music: an artist's songs, fans and data in one place. • Proof you found an artist first, and credit that lasts. • A map of exactly where your music landed, so you know where to play next. • First real listens for every new song, whoever made it. • A direct line between artists and the people who actually listen.
