MusicMergers is where independent artists, songwriters, producers, and A&R executives work on the same records from four different sides. Each side gets its own portal, because the person looking for a deal and the person offering one do not need the same screen. ARTIST PORTAL • Momentum: see how A&R reads your traction, and what moves it • EPK builder: upload demos up to 1 GB, feature your best songs, and share one link • Mark the hook: tap once where your hook starts, and A&Rs hear your best part first • Writers Room: write, dictate, and record vocal-only or vocal + beat takes, with a count-in • Flowtext: a tempo-synced lyric prompter for singing and recording • Distribution: unlimited releases to Spotify, Apple Music and more, with no per-release fees. You keep 70% of royalties, our distribution partner keeps 30%, and we take no cut • Move your catalog: bring releases over from your current distributor with their original codes, so stores can link each release to its history • Cover Art Lab: generate release artwork and check it before you ship • Inbox and deals: offers arrive here, and you can respond without leaving • Studios Near Me: find a room to record in, wherever you are SONGWRITER PORTAL • Writers Room: drafts, voice memos, and lyrics that stay with the session • Split Sheet Builder: agree and sign splits the day you write • Legal Vault: agreements, splits, and registrations in one place • Pitch Hub: read live A&R briefs and pitch straight into them • Pitch trail: see when your pitch was sent, when it was heard, and what the A&R said • Showcase: put your catalog in front of the people who place songs PRODUCER PORTAL • Beat Vault: every beat with its BPM, key, genre and mood • Send beats to artists as a lease or an exclusive • Pitch Hub: pitch beats into live A&R briefs • Credits: get tagged on releases, shown on your EPK • Release your own music to Spotify, Apple Music and more A&R PORTAL • Listen queue: new pitches, showcase songs and beats, each starting at its hook, with blind listening • One-tap reactions: Hook hits, Mix needs work, Send me more or Not my lane, and the creator hears back • Radar: find artists ranked by momentum, not follower count • Market intelligence: see whose audience is growing, month by month • Pipeline: move every artist from scouting to contacted, offered, and closed • Benchmarks: compare two artists side by side • Letters of intent: send, counter, and close in one thread REAL DATA, CLEARLY LABELLED Audience figures come from Chartmetric, Soundcharts, and YouTube, and every profile shows A&R whether its links are Verified or self-reported. CAPTURE IDEAS HANDS-FREE Say "Hey Siri, catch it with Music Mergers" to start recording an idea, or "Hey Siri, find studios with Music Mergers" to see nearby studios in Maps, including on CarPlay. MEMBERSHIP A membership is required to use each portal. Artist Pro, Songwriter Pro and Producer Pro are auto-renewable subscriptions billed monthly. A&R Access is an auto-renewable subscription billed every 3 months, available to A&Rs who register with an official label or company email and confirm it. Releases you distribute stay live and keep paying you if your membership ends: we never take music down because you cancelled or a payment failed. In the United States, memberships are sold through secure web checkout and renew automatically until you cancel; you can cancel, update your card or get receipts in Settings > Billing in the app. Elsewhere, payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings at any time after purchase.
