SoundCloud
SoundCloud is a global streaming and creator platform where artists can release music, reach fans directly and analyse performance and community data.
About SoundCloud
SoundCloud combines music streaming with an open creator and community platform. Artists can publish music directly, interact with fans through comments and messages, and make new tracks visible through recommendation and discovery features.
Compared with many traditional streaming services, the direct artist-fan relationship plays a particularly important role. Likes, reposts, comments, followers and playlists are integral parts of the platform and provide immediate feedback on new releases.
With SoundCloud for Artists, SoundCloud also offers tools for analytics, promotion, monetization and distribution. SoundCloud uses a Fan-Powered Royalties model in which the listening activity of individual fans is attributed more directly to the artists they actually listen to.

SoundCloud is used worldwide and reaches creators and listeners in more than 190 countries. It is particularly relevant for international independent, electronic, hip-hop and emerging-artist scenes.
