    About SonicCritic

    SonicCritic is an artist-first music social network and marketplace designed to allow creators to capture the majority of the value their music generates. Based in New Orleans and founded by independent musician Philip Andrew Quinn, the platform was built as a direct response to the instability of incumbents like Bandcamp and the low payout rates of major streaming services.The platform is defined by three core pillars: 1. Transparent "Artist-First" Economics SonicCritic’s primary commitment is a 88% revenue share for artists on all music sales. Unlike other platforms where fees are often just a starting point, this 88% is the "ending number" that lands in an artist’s account after payment processing, with no additional deductions for mechanical royalties, publishers, or Performing Rights Organizations (PROs). Master Ownership: Artists retain 100% ownership of their master recordings.Merchandise: Creators keep an even higher share of 92% on merchandise sales.Founding Artist Perks: To incentivize early adopters, founding artists receive 100% of streaming royalties for their first six months on the platform.For Artists: The platform provides storefronts, upload and release tools, and direct-to-fan relationship management.For Listeners: Users can create profiles, follow artists, and engage with the community through reviews and ratings.Future Growth: The roadmap includes a transition from a closed beta in early 2027 to a full public launch by mid-2027, with plans to introduce artist pro tools and listener subscriptions as the platform scales. 2. Community-Driven Discovery Replacing the engagement-focused algorithms of mainstream services, SonicCritic uses human-led discovery. Music is surfaced through the reviews, ratings, and collections of critics, curators, and fans. While the platform provides AI-powered analysis tools that can evaluate a song across eight different dimensions, these tools are designed to assist human taste-makers rather than replace them. 3. Privacy by Design Privacy is treated as an "architectural decision" rather than a settings toggle. SonicCritic does not sell listener data, utilize third-party ad trackers, or monetize through advertising. Listening behavior is used solely to inform the individual listener’s experience. Product Features and Roadmap By aligning its business model so that the platform only earns more when the artists do, SonicCritic aims to provide a stable, ownership-aligned alternative for the rapidly growing global market of independent and self-releasing artists
