Frequently Asked Questions

Using geo-fencing, The Pack will stream locally-made music to businesses and listeners in the area, increasing exposure for musicians and driving attendance at local events. Businesses benefit from playlist curation, customer engagement, and local cultural data sharing.

The Pack operates on a 1:1 creator-consumer model, meaning a percentage of each subscription directly supports the artists streamed by that listener. This means we can't tell you exactly how much you'll be paid per stream, but we can tell you ALL profit will go back to musicians and the music industry directly.
