Supporting artists - The pitch

If an artist’s music bring you entertainment for ten hours a month, it would be nice to give back. Supporting Artists makes it easy to do just that.

Supporting Artists - The fun part

Making a UI that makes it simple and engaging to analyze what music you’ve been listening too.

Supporting artists - The growth potential

I think there are at least a million people who would be willing to give a little back to artists. At $2 a month, that adds up to 24 million dollars a year in revenue.

Supporting artists - The idea

Buy a special set of headphones. These headphones listen to the music being played and match the songs to a database of music. At the end of each month, you are given a detailed summary of the music you listened to and options for giving money to some or all of those artists. Supporting Artists would also collect information about the wealth of bands and artists, so you can choose to support artists that aren’t already multi-millionaires.

Supporting Artists would make connections with bands and give donated money to them directly.

Supporting artists - The monetization

There would be a monthly subscription fee of $2 per account (up to 10 devices).  

Supporting artists - The motivation

We listen to music all the time. It’d be nice to track that and give back to the artists we listen to a lot and need the money.
