hello

Through the golden age of vapor- and adjacentwave Twitter, I remained a devout consumer and user of the #freealbumcodes hashtag. As Elon Musk turned the platform into a shithole, you can ask my wife: Losing touch with that network really sent me into a depression. Most thankfully, it looks like all the big players have made their way over to Blue Sky and used GetMusic.fm to help keep the scene(s) alive. There might be no one in the entire music ecosystem of 2026, mainstream or not, doing more right now to help DIY and grassroots musicians find paying audiences all over the world more than Chuck and this website. For what we can get back of the old connectivity, I know it means the world to songwriters and composers at my level.

GetMusic helped me to spread my music online and get a lot of downloads for my album - 20 in less than 24 hours! I will be using GetMusic again for my next release!

I honestly cannot remember how I functioned as an indie artist without GetMusic. In fact, the site does so much of the work for me, I've actually let my other promotional activities slide! For a long time I was a "Free" or "Pay What You Want" artist, but had little traction. Even though listeners getting codes through GetMusic is still technically free, there's a psychological reward when cashing tokens for music you'd normally pay for. Just by offering codes through GetMusic, my listeners have grown by 70% or more. Along with providing links to song downloads, GetMusic is constantly popping up on the socials with graphics of new releases, either solo or grouped with other new tracks. I myself am often drawn to new music thanks to these arresting graphics. GetMusic's stats are also great for reposting and reminding listeners of your newest tracks or albums. Along with Bandcamp, GetMusic is an essential tool for the indie artist.

It definitely helped me get more listens and follows and I really appreciate the reposts on my Twitter as well. It brings awareness to my page and I love that.

After 24 hours of using GetMusic and some very modest promoting, 23 people have downloaded a copy of my album, "Who Goes There?" I was very enthused to see almost all the users were new. In addition to the downloads, I've also been receiving more streams than I usually do; very cool!

GetMusic was a game-changer for my single "Hide & Seek." In a crowded scene, getting your signal out is a constant battle. The campaign cut through the noise and put the track directly in front of an audience that was actually wired to listen. I saw a real, measurable spike in both streams and, more importantly, new followers that have stuck around. It's a solid tool for anyone serious about getting their work to connect.

So, I'm doin' my music shi, right? And I realize that streaming is full of bs, so, I decided to put much more effort into my Bandcamp marketing. But I wasn't getting seen, it was taking a while for people to notice me, even with all the effort I was putting in. So, I looked up Bandcamp marketing on Google, and that lil Ai search thing told me about getmusic.fm. Later on, I decided that it could be pretty effective, as it worked for other albums (which I redeemed, of course). I put HeSoBased on getmusic.fm and slowly but surely, people were showing up. Soon, my album was in multiple collections, and I was gaining a lot of followers on Bandcamp. It's been around a month, and my music is getting some attention. Heck, I even got a couple of sales afterwards. Anyways, I got a mixtape to put out, check me out on Bandcamp, and try using getmusic.fm! - DottyB

Chuck and GetMusic are a phenomenal force in exercising a community of passionate artists fuelling what needs to happen in today’s music industry.

GetMusic.fm has been great for my followers and exposure. Had 12 Bandcamp followers for quite some time, and within a week am at 75 and counting! Great folks, great service, highly recommend for anyone who is looking for Bandcamp exposure! And yeah - the first round is free!
