A fair market
for the music
you find first.
COSIGN exists because the people who back an artist earliest, the fans, have never been able to own any of the upside. We are changing who the music economy pays.
I have always been a fan of the music. COSIGN is what I did about it.
I have always been a fan of music. Going to Howard, living in Philly, I watched it happen up close. People with real talent fizzling out because they did not have the money to make the music they wanted to make. Other people selling out to label deals that haunted them for the next decade.
COSIGN is the response. A way for the people who care about the artist before anyone else does to actually back them. No signing away your masters, your publishing, your touring, or your next five albums. You raise on one project, and what is yours stays yours.
The people who heard you first should get to win when you win. That is the whole idea.
Who built this
Black-owned. Built at Howard. COSIGN is independently founded by Aubrey, because the existing label-alternative space (Beatbread, Indify, Hipgnosis) is VC-funded, accredited-investor-only, and never asks the fan if they want a seat at the table. Howard puts Business, Law, and Communications schools on one campus, and that network is the unfair advantage that makes this possible.
Make the royalty stream of emerging music a public asset that pays the artist and the fan, not the fund in the middle.
The artist keeps the career
Every raise is one project for a fixed term. We never take the masters, the publishing, or a claim on what comes next.
The fan gets real ownership
Not a badge, not a perk. A pro-rata interest in a royalty stream, a quarterly dividend, and a share that can be traded.
Nothing hides
Transparent math, quarterly reports, a live price. If a number matters, it is on the page.
We studied how the last one failed, and built against it.
Vezt let fans buy into song royalties and, for a moment, looked like the future. Then it went dark. Fans were left holding something they could not see into and could not sell. The idea was not the problem. The structure was. Here is what we changed.
Find the next one first.
See a live raise, then decide whether you want in early.
