From creating your account to getting paid — here's exactly how Sonara works for artists and fans. No complexity. No surprises.
Getting paid for your music on Sonara is the simplest thing we've ever designed.
Sign up in under 2 minutes. No credit card required. No subscription fees to get started. Your artist profile is your home — set it up with your photo, bio, links, and the story behind your music.
Upload tracks, albums, EPs, beats, stems — any digital audio format. You decide what fans pay. Set a fixed price, a minimum price with pay-what-you-want above it, or make it free. Total control, always.
Your music appears in Sonara's discovery feed, search, and genre browsing. When a fan buys — the transaction goes directly between them and you. No middleman. No waiting. No percentage taken.
90% of what fans pay goes directly to you. Sonara retains a flat 10% platform fee on all transactions. Withdraw to your bank, PayPal, or preferred payment method. No minimum payout threshold. Your money, on your schedule.
When you buy on Sonara, 90% goes directly to the artist. Sonara takes a transparent 10% platform fee to keep the platform running — no hidden costs, no surprises.
No. Zero. We charge a small flat subscription for platform access, but we take 0% of your sales revenue. Every sale goes to you.
You do. Always. Uploading to Sonara never transfers ownership or rights. Your masters stay with you, unconditionally.
Absolutely. Download everything, export your fan data, and go. We don't hold anything hostage. Ever.
MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, and more. We accept high-resolution audio so your fans get the best possible quality.
