Better music streaming for everyone

Music streaming economics are broken. Artists earn a fraction of a penny for every stream, which doesn’t reflect the value we create with our work. It’s time for something better. Co-founded by DJ/producer TOKiMONSTA, sonu.stream is an artist-centric streaming platform that combines free music streaming with a marketplace that addresses broken streaming economics so artists can keep more of the value they create with your music.

The sonu.stream story

On a flight to Art Basel in 2021, Jennifer Lee, aka TOKiMONSTA, just happened to sit next to Laura Jaramillo. Jenn was on her way to a gig, while Laura was producing an event for the social community Friends with Benefits.
They got to talking about the problems artists face with music streaming — and bonded over the shared experience of Laura’s mother, who was a musician that never felt fairly compensated for her hard work.
Now, sonu.stream is on a mission to build better music streaming for everyone as part of its vision to build a more equitable, fair and rewarding music industry.
