MYPIE is an app that allows music fans to give money directly to the artist they stream, in an automatic, transparent and fair way.
MYPIE tracks the fan activity via their favorite streaming services like Spotify and allows them to create a “Virtual Money 🥧Pie” of any size, which is then distributed fairly among the Artists the fan listened to during the month. 🥧Pies can be created one-time only or can be recurring, which provides a really easy “set and forget” way for the fans to just enjoy the music and automate the giving.
MYPIE is for You the Artist that can finally get your well deserved share of the pie. Every Artist that has published music and has been streamed by one of our supported streaming services can claim an Artist account with MYPIE. You can authenticate as an Artist via one of the available authentication methods
MYPIE is for You the Fan that can make this reality. Did you ever felt guilty listening to music all day, every day and paying Spotify $9.99, which results in like $0.003 per stream for the Artist!!?? On the top of that, the money are not distributed fairly, but are given to the top artists which hold the majority of the streams. I know we did feel guilty and as both fans and artists ourselves, we have decided to build our own bridge between the wallets of the two. We ****allow the Fans to decide what is a fair price for the music they love. We want to support the real people behind the artist brand, and that are making it for us. It does not happen automatically you know...
We are fed up with the current situation and we think we should and can do better.
Streaming services are providing important function to all of us, but their goal’s different from what most of the people expect it to be.
As Spotify’s ex-architect Jim Anderson said here "The problem was to distribute music. Not to give you money, okay?” when asked why the artists are payed so little.
