What wavartist actually is
The story behind why WavArtist exists, and what running your own page actually looks like day to day.
Wavartist is a subscription platorm for independent music artists built by artists, for artists.
For a flat NPR 500 a month you get your own portfolio website on your own subdomain, yourname.wavartist.com, and a dashboard to run it from. The portfolio is the artist's website and it is also the storefront. Nothing to build, no developer to hire, no infrastructure to maintain.
Not a label. Not a distributor. Not a marketplace taking a percentage. WavArtist charges the monthly subscription and nothing else every sale settles between the artist and the listener.
The portfolio
A public website on the artist’s own subdomain portfolio, catalogue and press material in one place, with a shop, tour dates and a booking form built into the same site.
The catalogue
Singles, EPs and albums. Free tracks stream to any visitor; paid releases stay listed with cover and price but only play for listeners who bought them. Any Album, EP, Single can open for pre-booking before the file exists, and pre-bookers can stream on the artist website when released.
The transaction
Listeners hold one account across every artist on the platform, with a single library of everything they own. They pay the artist’s own eSewa, Khalti or bank QR directly, and the artist approves each order from the dashboard.
Our Mission
To give every independent artist their own public presence and storefront without needing a website, a developer, or infrastructure. Artists get a branded page on their own subdomain and a dashboard to run music, merch, tours and bookings and fans pay artists directly, so WavArtist never takes a cut of a sale.
Our Vision
One platform where onboarding an artist is a single event, not a project no new site, no new server, no new deployment. A bedroom producer in Kathmandu and a touring band get the same subdomain, the same dashboard and the same tools, and listeners carry one account and one library across every artist on the platform.
Our Values
Artists get paid first: money moves from the listener straight to your own eSewa, Khalti or bank QR, and you approve every order yourself. Pricing stays flat and honest, paid tracks only play for the listeners who bought them, and your page, your catalog and your fans remain yours.
Ownership
Your subdomain, your catalog, your fan list. Nothing is rented back to you.
0% commission
Every rupee from a track, tee or ticket lands with you.
Simplicity
Upload, price, publish. One dashboard instead of five platforms and a web developer.
Community
One free fan account works across every artist, so listeners discover you through each other.
Everything an independent artist needs
Nine tools built for how independent artists actually work.
Your own website
It starts with a website of your own. Claim your stage name and your portfolio goes live at yourname.wavartist.com. homepage, catalogue, shop, tour dates and a booking form, all under one address.
Minimal dashboard
Everything on that website is controlled from a single screen. Add your artist information, publish releases, merch and tour dates, handle orders and share links and setup your own payment, so every sale is reviewed and approved by you.
Free and paid releases
With the dashboard set up, start publishing. Singles, EPs and albums go up in minutes — mark them free to stream for anyone, or priced, in which case they stay listed with cover and price but only play for the listeners who bought them.
Pre-booking Album/EP
A release does not have to be finished to go on sale. Open any single, EP or album for pre-booking, set the release date, add a preview clip if you have one everyone who pre-booked is emailed the day the real file goes live.
Merch, tours & booking
The same page carries the rest of your business: merch with prices and stock, tour dates as they are announced, and a booking form whose requests land straight in your dashboard.
One listener account
On the other side, a listener signs up once and stays recognised on every artist page on WavArtist one login, one library of everything they own, and one more way for fans to find their way to you.
LIVE IN FOUR STEPS
Subscribe and claim your name, upload what you have, and start selling. No build, no launch date, no waiting on anyone else.

AashmaR&B singerQuestions, answered
Straight answers about pricing, payouts and how the platform actually works, before you commit.
No. WavArtist charges a flat monthly subscription you keep 100% of what you earn from tracks, merch and tickets.
You upload your own payment QR, whatever your bank or wallet gives you: eSewa, Khalti, a bank QR, or the equivalent wherever you're based. A listener scans it, pays you directly, and uploads the receipt; you approve the order from your dashboard and access is granted. The money never passes through WavArtist.
Yes. It's month-to-month with no lock-in cancel from your dashboard whenever you want.
No, yourname.wavartist.com works out of the box. Connecting a custom domain is on the roadmap.
MP3 or WAV for tracks, standard image formats for merch and cover art.
No. The page and dashboard work anywhere: you upload your own QR code, whatever your local bank or wallet provides, and fans pay directly into it. eSewa, Khalti and bank QR are just what most of our artists use today since most are based in Nepal.
You pay for it like any other purchase. Until release day you can only hear the preview clip if the artist added one; the moment the artist publishes the real file, you get an email and it appears in your library.
