Apply to the Founding Class

Curiation is a licensing home for people who own their music. You keep your masters, your publishing, and 100% of your performance royalties. You set your own rates. We don’t own a catalog, so we have no favorites — and we don’t generate music, and we never will.

$20/mo, locked for life for the founding class. Up to 25 songs to start.

This takes about ten minutes. It asks real questions about your music, your rights, and how you’re building — because I read every application myself.

Have these ready

Links to 3–5 of your best tracks (private SoundCloud, Drive, Dropbox, anything streamable)
Your social handles, if you have them
An honest answer on whether your samples and co-writers are cleared

You don’t need an LLC. If you license under your own name, you’re already a sole proprietor.

What happens next

We review in cohorts, so give it up to two weeks. Either way, you’ll get the Sync Readiness Checklist in your inbox — it’s yours whether you get in or not.

Run a music library or a company with a catalog? Apply through the same form — there’s a question in there that routes you to the right place.
