What is EVEN?
EVEN is more than just a platform; it's a community that thrives on the direct connection between artists and their fans. It revolutionizes the way fans can support their favorite artists and how artists can give back to their most loyal fans.
When you purchase a release on EVEN, you're not just buying music – you're gaining early access to an artist's creative work. This could include their latest music, exclusive content, first dibs on tour tickets, merchandise, and much more. It's a first-class experience for fans, offering more than the typical streaming or purchase options available elsewhere.
How does EVEN work?
EVEN operates with the aim of fostering a direct and rewarding relationship between artists and fans. Here's a step-by-step guide to how it works:
Explore the Catalogue: With EVEN, fans can browse through a wide variety of releases from their favorite artists. These could include singles, albums, EPs, or even exclusive content that's not available anywhere else.
Purchase Releases: Once a fan has chosen a release they'd like to own, they can purchase it directly on the platform.
Gain Exclusive Access: Upon purchasing a release, fans are granted something we call "Access". This gives them the ability to listen to the music before it's available on streaming platforms. Access could include first dibs on merchandise, tour tickets, access to private events, behind-the-scenes content, and much more.
How do artists benefit?
The future of music is direct. EVEN prepares artists with all the tools and resources to make their music available to their fans and take ownership of that relationship.
