For Artists

Your music. Your terms. Your money.

The major platforms take your music, pay you a fraction of a penny, and give you no say in how it's used. Wadio is different. You own your tracks, set your royalty splits, and get paid monthly — directly into your account.

"Spotify pays the average independent artist around £0.003 per stream. On Wadio, artists earn between £0.01 and £0.06 per stream — every time a listener tunes in to their track."

💷

3x–20x what Spotify pays

Per-stream rates on Wadio are calculated from the subscription pool — not buried in a black-box formula. Artists earn significantly more per play.

🎛️

Full control of your track

You upload, you own. Your track doesn't go anywhere without your consent. Edit metadata, set contributor credits, and remove it any time.

🤝

Royalty splits for every contributor

Credit producers, engineers, featured artists, and co-writers directly in the app. Set the split percentages and Wadio handles the rest at payout time.

📅

Monthly payouts

The existing music industry makes you wait for months to receive next to nothing. Wadio pays you a much larger share, every month.

Artist Platform

Built for the UK music industry

Wadio is a UK-based service, built with UK copyright and music licensing law in mind. All payouts are handled transparently and compliantly.

📱

Get paid directly in the app

Your Artist Studio dashboard shows your streams, your earnings, and your payout history. No spreadsheets, no waiting on an invoice.

📊

See exactly who's listening

Real listener counts on every track, per station, per month. Know which songs are connecting and with which audiences.

⚖️

Transparent and compliant

Payout calculations are openly documented. We're a UK company operating under UK law — no offshore shell companies hiding the numbers.

🚫

No AI training. No content scraping.

Your music is on Wadio for streaming. It's not licensed to AI companies, it's not scraped, and it doesn't disappear into a training dataset.

For Listeners

Your money pays your artists. Not a building full of lawyers.

On the major platforms, a small fraction of your subscription trickles down to artists after label fees, platform cuts, and licensing overhead. On Wadio, 70 pence of every pound you pay goes directly to the artists you listen to — calculated by what you actually stream.

"With Wadio, I know exactly where my money is going. It goes to the people making the music I love — not to executives I've never heard of."

💚

Your streams = artist earnings

Every track you listen to contributes directly to that artist's monthly payout. Not an algorithm — your specific listening drives their income.

Full transparency

You can see what percentage of subscriptions goes to artists, how payouts are calculated, and where the rest goes. No hidden fees, no mystery.
