How It Works

From idea to stage in four steps

Vinylaunch is the only platform that bridges crowdfunding, industry services, and tour management in a single workflow.

01

Create Your Profile

Sign up as a solo artist, band, or service provider. Build your page with music, photos, and your story.

02

Begin Pre-Launch

Build out your project in Pre-Launch. Let producers, venues, engineers, and more bid on your campaign.

03

Go Public & Fund Your Dream

Once your team is assembled, launch publicly. Fans back your campaign for reward packages that you curate.

04

Create & Tour

Make your album, sell merch, run your tour — coordinated on one platform.

Features

Everything an artist needs

No more juggling five different platforms. Vinylaunch puts your entire career in one place.

Streaming Platform

Every artist gets 5 GB of media hosting included. Fans stream your music right alongside your campaign (at streaming launch).

Tour Builder

Plot every stop on your tour map. Venues bid to book you, and fans buy tickets through the same platform.

Industry Bidding

Producers, engineers, and studios bid on your project — keeping prices competitive for independent artists.

Verified Reviews

Service providers are rated by real artists. Find the best collaborators with confidence.

Privacy-First

Vinylaunch is not a data broker. Your data and your fans' data stay private. Full stop.

VL Records

Optional label services with capped royalties. You still own your catalog. Always.

Service Providers

Every service the music industry needs — in one place

Service providers register on Vinylaunch and browse open campaigns that match their specialty. They bid or express interest directly to artists — keeping the process transparent and competitive. Small providers compete on equal footing with the big players.
