The locked rooms

More rooms are being built. VIPs get every one of them.
Free for the world

- Every song, streaming everywhere
- Every lyric, published and searchable
- The dashboards: streams, views, money in, money out
- The journey: learning in public, all of it
Fair questions
Short answers, no fine print.
Why does VIP exist if everything is open?
Because making it costs money and time. VIP is how you say "keep going" and get the fun stuff (locked rooms, the group chat, stems, early songs) in return. The music and the data stay free for the world either way.
Is it really a one-time payment?
Yes. Five dollars, once. No subscription, no renewal, no surprise charges. Founding members keep this price for life even after it goes up to $25 for everyone else.
How do I get into the locked rooms?
Right after checkout you get a VIP access code by email. Enter it once on any locked room page and you are in on that device, forever.
Where does my $5 go?
Onto the dashboard, like every other dollar. The books stay open. You can watch your five dollars work.
