Community Musician

Community Musician is where you own the music instead of renting it, back the artists making it, and book the rooms where it gets made.

OWN WHAT YOU LISTEN TO Tap a Community Musician card against your phone and the record it carries is yours — permanently, in your Collection. No subscription, no expiry. Don't have the card? Unlock a release directly with Lute instead. Haven't done either? Every track still plays as a 30-second preview, so you always hear it before you decide.

A PLAYER BUILT FOR RECORDS A full queue you can reorder and trim. Shuffle. Repeat one or repeat all. Scrub across a waveform. Background playback that keeps going when you leave the app and picks up where you left off on next launch. Time-synced lyrics that scroll with the song wherever the artist has provided them.

BACK THE ARTISTS YOU LISTEN TO Support an artist at a tier they set, paid from your Lute wallet. Watch their goal fill in real numbers rather than a vague percentage. Artists see exactly who is backing them and at what tier, and you can step up, step down, pause or stop whenever you want.

BOOK REAL ROOMS Browse partner studios on a map or a list, with galleries, opening days, per-room rates, capacity and dimensions. Reserve a rehearsal or recording room by the month — one month or several at once. Rooms already taken show you the date they free up, and on rooms that offer it you can join a waitlist and get notified the moment a slot opens.

SPLIT IT WITH THE BAND Book a room and divide the cost with your bandmates. Split it evenly or set each person's share yourself. Everyone gets their own invite and pays their own part from their own wallet, and you can see who has paid and who hasn't.

A WALLET THAT SHOWS ITS WORK Lute is the in-app currency for cards, unlocks, support and rooms. Top up with a preset pack or any custom amount. Every movement lands in a filterable, sortable ledger — top-ups, support, studio spend, refunds — and every booking carries a per-month receipt, so you can always see what was charged and when.

IF YOU MAKE THE MUSIC Build an artist page as a solo artist or a band, with a bio, members, photos and posts. Publish a single, EP or album: upload the audio, add cover art, paste timed lyrics, and optionally mint a collectible card at a price you choose. Set your own support tiers and a monthly goal.

IF YOU RUN A STUDIO List your studio with a gallery, opening days and a team directory. Add rooms with rates, capacity, dimensions and photos. Turn a waitlist on per room and see who is waiting.

EVERYTHING ELSE Search across songs, artists, releases, studios, studio staff, people and genres. Follow artists and the people you play with. Build your own playlists and save the tracks you love. Get told when a room frees up, when a bandmate pays their share, when your top-up lands, and when somebody backs your work.

Built for working musicians and the people who fund them.
