How it works

One song. A thousand voices.

SongMonkey works two ways: writers post the songs, singers record their versions of those songs. The catalog grows in both directions.

STEP 01

โœŽ

Write it

Songwriter uploads an original โ€” lyrics, melody, demo. Sets it open or approval-only.

STEP 02

โ™ซ

Sing it

A singer browses the catalog, finds a song that fits their voice, records their version.

STEP 03

โ–ถ

Play it

Fans listen to all the versions. Like, share, and back the ones they love.

STEP 04

$

Get paid

Every play splits 45/35/10/10 instantly on-chain. Writer earns forever from every version.

Ruby ร— Deon

"Rust on the Rails"

She wrote it. He sings it. Both got paid.

Ruby Vance wrote "Rust on the Rails" on a train back to Knoxville. She didn't think her voice fit it, so she uploaded the demo to SongMonkey set to "open." Deon Saint heard it, recorded his version in two takes, and posted it. Two weeks later: 142,000 plays. Both have been paid every single day since.
