Questions
When can I use Waveo?
Waveo opens in 2027. Join the waiting list and we'll email you as soon as it's live.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Previews are free, and you pay once for the music you want to own.
Can I download what I buy?
Yes. Music you buy is yours to download and keep.
How do I know the artist gets paid?
Every sale is processed by Stripe, and the artist's share is paid to their own Stripe account. Waveo never holds an artist's 80%.
Is it free to join as an artist?
Yes. There's no upload or yearly fee. Waveo only earns 20% when an artist makes a sale, and pays the card fees from that. Apply to be a founding artist.
