We started with a simple idea: independent artists deserve a real home on the internet — their own domain, their own design, with a streaming platform where fans actually pay them directly instead of subsidizing Drake. We built the home base. It's live. Phase 2 ships this month. Phase 3 launches August 2026.
This is our roadmap. Published publicly because we have nothing to hide and everything to prove.
Every Trakiyo site is built by hand for the artist. Custom design. Custom domain. A music player that streams directly from the artist's own SoundCloud playlist — fans hear the music without leaving the artist's site. They can add any track to their own SoundCloud library in one click.
No templates. No compromise. Your own piece of the internet — the way it should be.
$49/month. 90 days free. No minimum commitment.
From the Trakiyo player, fans will be able to add tracks to their streaming platform of choice — Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, and more.
One click. Their library. The artist's music — everywhere their fans already listen.
Artists manage their own sites independently — and fans buy music directly from the audio player.
No developer needed after the build. No middleman in your sales. Tracks uploaded here also become your Phase 3 streaming catalog when the platform launches in August.
This is where everything comes together.
Every track uploaded through a Trakiyo artist site flows into a centralized music database. Phase 3 activates that database as a public discovery platform — a web app and mobile app where fans find, stream, and directly support independent artists.
No free tier. No 30-second previews. (A free tier was always meaningless — fans can hear any track in full elsewhere.)
One subscription. $8/month. Unlimited streaming of every Trakiyo artist + access to per-artist perks via Trakiyo Fan+.
Trakiyo's model is truly user-centric. Each fan's $8 minus Trakiyo's 20% cut (at launch) is divided only among the artists that specific fan actually played — proportional to that fan's plays. No pool. No subsidy. No mainstream skim. Your fans pay you. Period.
The 20% cut at launch absorbs infrastructure costs while the platform grows. Once the model proves out, the cut drops to 10%. Even at 20%, artists keep 80% — radically more than Spotify, Apple Music, or any major platform.
For artists already on a Trakiyo website plan who want extra discovery feed visibility, playlist placement, and promotional surface area on the Trakiyo platform.
$10/month, optional, on top of your website subscription. Available only to active Trakiyo artists — no website, not on the platform. One ecosystem.
Vinyl, CDs, tape, merch, water bottles — anything tangible — stays where you already sell it. Trakiyo focuses on what we're built for: streaming, downloads, fan subscriptions, and the websites that hold it all together. External streaming links (Spotify, Apple, etc.) stay on every artist site by your choice. Trakiyo is the central hub for everything non-tangible.
If you see the same opportunity we do — that independent artists deserve a real home on the internet, not just another platform — we'd love to talk.
