What the site offers

One platform. Different ways to move your music.

ACCESS is designed around the full path of an independent artist — not just uploading a file.

Artist profiles & discovery

Be found

Your public ACCESS presence gives other members and listeners a place to discover you. The Discover area helps people find artists and creators instead of relying only on outside social feeds.

The Network

Connect

ACCESS is also a community. The Network gives members a place to interact, build relationships and stay connected around the music instead of sending everyone to a different app.

Music & video sharing

Show your work

Music and video give artists multiple ways to present themselves. That means fans can do more than read a bio — they can actually hear and watch what you create.

Steve Boston live reviews

Get feedback

Artists can submit tracks for a chance to be reviewed during Steve Boston live music reviews, giving your music an opportunity to receive direct, real-world feedback.

The Carousel

Rotation

The Carousel is another discovery path inside ACCESS, built around approved music submissions and live rotation so listeners can run into music they did not already know.

ACCESS Store & Artist Studio

Sell direct

Create singles, EPs, albums and deluxe releases, upload private masters, use listening previews, set pricing, manage collaborators and publish finished music directly to fans.

Why it is convenient

Less bouncing between disconnected tools

The goal is simple: give artists a place where community, discovery and direct-to-fan releases can work together.

Your music has somewhere to go at every stage.

You can build a profile before you have a finished release. You can connect and get feedback while you are creating. When the record is ready, you can move into Artist Studio, publish to the Store, and give fans a direct path to support you.

Mobile friendly Private master delivery Automatic previews Collaborator splits Stripe payouts
Artists stay responsible for their rights.

Before a Store release can publish, the artist certifies that they own or control the rights needed to distribute the music. Collaborators also certify their contribution when accepting a split.

Common questions

Before you join

Where can I share my music as an independent artist?

ACCESS gives independent artists a public profile and several paths for getting their work in front of people: member discovery, The Network, music and video areas, Carousel rotation opportunities, live-review submissions and direct-to-fan releases through the ACCESS Store.

Can I sell my music on ACCESS?

Yes. Eligible artists can create Store releases in Artist Studio, upload finished master files, set pricing, manage collaborators and publish to the ACCESS Store. Fans can then acquire eligible releases through ACCESS.

Do I give up ownership of my music?

ACCESS requires you to certify that you own or control the rights needed to distribute a release. The rights certification is about permission to distribute through ACCESS; it is not presented as a transfer of your copyright ownership to ACCESS.

Can I work with collaborators?

Yes. Artist Studio supports collaborator splits with ACCESS members. Collaborators must accept their split and certify their contribution before the release can publish.

Do I need a finished album to use ACCESS?

No. You can join, build a profile, discover members, connect, share work and participate in the community before you ever publish a Store release.
