Artist Pass
Fan clubs for music artists, not adult content.
Artist Pass is the music-first place for artists to sell closer access: early music videos, fan-only videos, unreleased demos, private drops, behind-the-scenes studio clips, stems, loops, listening parties, supporter badges, and subscriber-only updates.

Artist-set pricing
Let creators decide what their access is worth.
Instead of forcing every artist into one price, Artist Pass should let each musician set their own monthly price and benefits. A new artist can keep it low; a larger artist can price premium access higher.
What fans unlock
Give supporters something that feels alive.
The point is not just “pay me.” It should feel like getting closer to the artist’s process.
Early music videos
Fans can watch a new video before the public drop.
Fan-only music videos
Artists can make videos that live only inside Artist Pass.
Demos and private drops
Unreleased hooks, alternate mixes, voice memo ideas, and private previews.
Stems, loops, and beat packs
Creators can share production assets for fans and collaborators to study or flip when rights allow it.
Behind-the-song clips
Studio footage, lyric notes, gear breakdowns, and how the track came together.
Supporter-only comments
A cleaner space for deeper fan replies, listening notes, and direct artist updates.
Private fan messages
Fans can start music-focused conversations, request updates, and ask about songs without turning the app into random spam.
Supporter polls
Artists can ask fans which cover, hook, demo, remix, or video cut should drop next.
Drop vault
Organize fan-only music, videos, updates, stems, lyrics, demos, and behind-the-scenes media in one place.
Creator tools
The known fan-platform features, rebuilt for music.
Artist Pass should borrow the parts fans already understand — paid access, exclusive posts, private updates, creator control, and supporter identity — then focus all of it around songs, sessions, videos, and releases.
Flow
How it should work in the app.
The artist opens their profile and taps Set up Artist Pass.
They write what fans get and set a monthly price they choose.
Each song, video, demo, or update can be public, followers-only, subscribers-only, early access, or one-time unlock.
Fans see the value clearly, subscribe when available, and get notified about new drops.
Payments + payouts
Web checkout is how artists get paid.
Artist Pass should use Humminbird’s website checkout with Stripe Connect-style payouts: fans subscribe on the web, Humminbird records the subscription entitlement, and the iOS/Android apps unlock that artist’s fan-only music after the account syncs.
Fan pays on web
The website handles artist subscriptions, one-time unlocks, refunds, receipts, tax details, and customer support.
Artist gets paid
Connected artist payout accounts receive their share after platform, processing, refund, and Humminbird fees.
App unlocks access
Firebase entitlements tell the app which Artist Pass posts, videos, demos, and drops each fan can access.
7-day payout hold
At launch, Artist Pass payouts should be held for 7 days so refunds, failed payments, and early fraud signals can be handled before funds leave Humminbird.
Refunds revoke access
Full refunds end the related Artist Pass access immediately. Partial refunds can keep access active unless support decides otherwise.
Chargebacks pause access
Disputes suspend access and block payout until the dispute is resolved. If the dispute is won, access can be restored.
