Empowering Audio-Visual Creators: Monetize Your Sound & Vision Globally
More than just uploading — earn real, recurring revenue. From monthly passive income in the music library, MV-driven download revenue shares, to global commercial buyout brokerage — every track and every frame carries real commercial value.
Four Monetization Lanes
From monthly passive income to high-ticket deals — two-way monetization for musicians and visual creators alike.
VIP Download Revenue Pool
Each month, 50% of Pro & Studio subscription revenue goes into the creator pool (Enterprise is a managed service and stays out of the pool), distributed Pro-Rata by your works' share of valid VIP downloads.
- Real monthly passive income — the hotter your catalog, the larger your share
- Official tracks' share flows back to the platform and never competes with you
- Free users' previews and downloads only boost your chart exposure — never counted in the payout denominator
MV × Music Revenue Share
Audio-visual synergy: visual creators (AI video, motion 3D, concept shorts) can claim or produce MVs for any track in the library.
- 30-day attribution: slice downloads and commercial licenses driven by your MV are shared between the original musician and the MV creator by agreed ratio
- Visual creators earn music revenue without writing a single song
- Musicians get top-tier visual exposure without editing a single video
Full-Track Commercial Buyout
When overseas short-drama studios, game teams, or ad agencies want your full track, the platform provides one-on-one CS-brokered deal-making.
- You set the price (typically hundreds to thousands of USD per track); the platform handles cross-border settlement and issues the global commercial licensing whitelist
- Net settlement after a base service fee — no payout waiting
- No time zones, language barriers, or cross-border legal risk when dealing with overseas clients
Official Custom Order Dispatch
The platform receives a steady flow of high-value commercial orders (commercial theme songs, custom vocal work and more) — certified creators can grab orders themselves or receive official directed dispatches.
- Browse and apply to in-progress commercial custom orders in the Creator Center order board
- Completed commissions flow straight into your monthly settlement wallet

Frequently asked questions
How is the Creator Program different from the Signed Artist Program?
The Creator Program is open to all independent musicians: upload your tracks to the library and start earning, rewarded by download popularity. You keep your copyright and can take tracks down anytime. The Signed Artist Program is a label contract where KibiGroove Records handles production and distribution end to end — for singer-songwriters and performers who want full service.
How does revenue sharing work? Why by downloads?
Each month a fixed share of subscription revenue goes into the revenue pool, distributed pro-rata by each work's share of valid VIP downloads that month. The share consumed by official catalog tracks flows back into the pool, so your earnings are not diluted.
What counts as a "valid download"?
Clip downloads by subscription members count toward your share. Downloads by free users don't earn commission, but they boost your popularity ranking and exposure.
Are there other ways to earn besides the download pool?
Yes. MV with your song (your track featured in a produced MV with a 30-day attribution window and download share), brand buyouts (third parties license your work), and custom-order dispatch (platform-sent orders, paid per order) can all run alongside the pool.
How do I apply? What does the review look at?
Submit a short bio and links to your existing profiles (Spotify / TikTok / YouTube, etc.) — the works already on them serve as the review reference. Contacting online support can speed up the review.
How are earnings settled and withdrawn?
Settlement runs on calendar months; downloads before the month your track is taken down still count. Withdrawals are paid after a manual review, via PayPal or Wise.
