Vocana is a social music streaming platform based in the United States (Brooklyn, New York, USA) and designed to operate globally, though with a strong focus on empowering independent artists. Vocana +3 wefunder.com +3 LinkedIn +3 Vocana’s mission is to create a music-first ecosystem that connects indie artists directly with fans through community features, direct monetization, and transparent payments. The platform offers a 100% independent catalog (no major labels), social networking tools (profiles, follows, commenting), “Hubs” for genre or vibe-based communities, and a user-centric payment model where subscription dollars, tips, and merchandise sales go straight to the artists with minimal intermediaries.
WebsiteInstagramUnlike traditional streaming platforms, Vocana is built exclusively for independent music — it excludes major label content. It emphasizes direct-to-artist payments, community engagement, and social features rather than relying heavily on algorithm-driven discovery.
Artists and creators: Independent musicians can upload their music, set up direct monetization through streaming, tips, and merchandise, and manage their fan community. Listeners and fans: Anyone can join to stream indie music, follow artists, participate in community hubs, listen to curated playlists, and support artists with tips or merchandise purchases.
Vocana uses a user-centric payment model, where subscription fees, tips, and merchandise spending go directly to the artists that fans engage with. This approach is designed to ensure fairness and transparency, giving artists a larger share of the revenue they help generate.
Hubs: Genre- or mood-based communities where fans and artists connect and interact. Artist and fan connections: Users can follow others, comment, like, and share music and posts. Curation over algorithms: Vocana focuses on tastemaker-driven and fan-curated playlists instead of relying on automated recommendations.
Artists can distribute their music to Vocana through partnered distribution services or platforms such as Revelator. Once uploaded, their music becomes available for streaming, and they can access monetization tools, analytics, and audience engagement features.
