Coming soon · The music app for the fans who show up Coming soon · For independent artists

Your audience should
belong to you. Get closer than
a follow. Hear it before
the world does. Everything that
never gets released. The most direct line
to your favorite artist.

New fans find your music. The ones who love it get closer. And you own who they are: real names and contact you keep, not numbers on a dashboard you rent.

Unreleased music, early. A direct line to the artists you love, and the people who hear it the way you do.

The first loop, the voice memo, the demo. On ZuZu, all of it lands in the artist’s Fan Community before release day.

Stems, demos, live takes and voice memos. On ZuZu they live in the artist’s Vault, open to the fans who join.

Join an artist’s Fan Community and the direct line opens. One thread, just the two of you: they write to you, and you write back.

Inside a Fan Community

Five ways closer to the artist.

This is what joining an artist’s Fan Community gets you.

01 · The direct line

The artist writes to you. You write back.

One thread, just the two of you. Not a comment section, not a broadcast.

A direct line thread between a fan and an artist: the artist asks what pulled you in, and answers which version goes out first.

02 · Early access

The new song, before release day.

And the loop it started as, the line that got cut, the note on why. You hear the record while it’s being made.

A song diary: a voice note of the first loop with its waveform, a note on why the kick comes in late, and the finished song marked yours now, everyone else on release day.

03 · The Vault

Everything that never gets released.

Stems, demos, live takes, sleeve tests. It stays here, for the people who joined.

An artist’s Vault, filtered by demos, voice memos, photos and live: a sleeve test, stems, a live set, a photo of the desk, a session photo and a voice memo.

04 · The room

A room with the artist in it.

The community chat is them and the people who hear it the way you do. Ask something. They answer.

A community chat: fans asking about the tram at the end of the live set, and the artist answering.

05 · The Fan Community

Join, and all of it opens.

The line, the new music, the Vault and the room, in one place. And the artist knows you were here early.

An artist’s Fan Community in the ZuZu app, marked Joined: early access, stems and a direct line, with doors to the community chat, the Vault and the direct line.

ZuZu Studio · for artists

Your audience, on a console you own.

Studio is the web app behind every community. Post, see who’s listening, take the lines you want, upload once, go live. Half of every $2 is yours.

Your people, at a glance.

Who joined, who’s listening, what’s playing and what you’ve earned. Hide the counts when you’d rather not look.

The ZuZu Studio dashboard: people who joined, listeners, plays, revenue and gifts, monthly plays, the community’s growth, recent activity and top tracks.

Know who shows up. Write to them.

Listeners grouped by how they listen, where they are and what they play. Message any group from here.

Studio Audience: listeners, streams, saves and people who joined over twelve months, with top songs, sources of streams and audience segments.

Your community chat, with you in it.

The same room your people are in, from your desk. Drop in whenever.

The Studio inbox showing the community room, with fans talking and the artist answering, and direct line requests beside it.

Fans ask for a line. You accept the ones you want.

One thread each, and nothing you didn’t open.

Studio direct lines: a list of open lines with each fan’s last message, and the thread beside it.

Upload once.

Records, songs and drafts, lossless in. Publish when it’s ready.

Studio My Music: an album and an EP with their tracks, each published or draft, and an upload button.

Everything you keep back, open to your people.

Demos, voice notes, photos and live takes, with the Song Diary beside each track.

The Studio Vault: pieces linked to songs and marked Vault or Diary, with a diary panel for one track.

Go live from your phone.

Studio runs the room; your phone is the camera. A free preview, then your people.

Studio Go Live: pair your phone, set a title and type, choose a free preview, go live now or schedule.

How it works

Listeners become fans you know, reach, and keep.

Your biggest fans are already there. You just can’t see them, reach them, or keep them. That’s what ZuZu fixes.

01
Get discovered

New fans find you by the sound, not by an algorithm.
02
Get closer

Your biggest fans back you directly, for early drops and the process behind them.
03
Own the relationship

Fans choose to be known to you: name, contact, history. Yours to keep.

How it works

From first listen to front row.

01
