Join the movement giving power back to Artists.
Not only is it free — we give you rewards to make music. Create, release, promote, and engage with fans. All in one platform. Your music, your audience, your money.
2,500+ artists already in. $17M backed. Built by an ex-Meta musician.
Why Guild Exists
Artists have gotten the short end of the stick since the music business started.
You make the music. Streaming platforms make the money. Labels own your masters. Algorithms decide if anyone hears your work. And now AI is generating tracks that compete with yours — with zero accountability.
We've built a community to give it back to the source — the creators.
One platform. Four superpowers.
How it works
Everything you need to build a music career — without a label.
Why artists are switching
We don't just give you tools. We give you rewards.
Other platforms charge you to upload. Guild pays you to create.
AI is flooding every platform. Prove your music is real.
AI-generated tracks are exploding across Spotify, Apple Music, and every other platform. Listeners can't tell the difference. Labels don't care.
But you should.
When you upload to Guild, your music is registered on-chain with permanent proof of ownership. Not a screenshot. Not a timestamp. Cryptographic, immutable, on-chain proof that you made this.
No attribution. No proof. No accountability. Flooding every platform. Impossible to distinguish.
On-chain timestamp. Verified creator. Permanent provenance. Cryptographically, provably yours.

Built by an artist, for artists
“I spent 12 years at Meta watching platforms profit from creators. Then I picked up my guitar and felt the same frustration.”
Phillip Rather, Guild's founder, is a musician who spent over a decade at Meta growing teams to $1B+ in revenue. He built Guild because he lived the problem — as both a tech executive who saw how platforms extract value, and as a songwriter who felt it firsthand.

“I was making $12/month across platforms. Last month on Guild, 340 fans generated $890 in direct sales. Same music. Different economics.”
