"With a little help of my fans" is the motto of SellaBand, the pioneer company in music-crowdfunding. It's as easy as this: solo artists and bands present their project on Sellaband and fans - called Believers - invest in their album production, video or tour. This creates a real connection between the fan and the artist. "Believers" actively support the artists by purchasing parts in the project and artists realize their dreams.
In return for a Believer's financial support he will receive the download of an album and other exclusive incentives such as Limited editions CDs, Backstage Passes or even a share in revenue.

SellaBand has been regarded as a driving force behind the Music Revolution. Sellaband is an online platform that connects Artists and Fans in an independent movement that levels the playing field in the global music industry. It challenges the traditional music industry and encourages aspiring artists and music lovers to go into business together. With SellaBand, artists retain complete ownership of the works created and have the flexibility to determine which incentives they will offer their fans who fund them. SellaBand's fan funding engine also allows artists the freedom to enter into deals with any label, management company, or publisher and there are no advances to pay back. Artists maintain control over their career and have 100% freedom to create the music that they want to create.

On sellaband.com you can browse through the site, look at the Charts, use the Search and listen to some songs and start discovering new music. You can support your favorite artists by buying a part and helping them to raise the funds for a new music project (a new album, tour or the promotion of their music). The artist will use the funds raised to complete his/her Music Project. Receive free downloads and other goodies artists might offer like exclusive CDs, t-shirts, free lunches etc. And artists might even let you get a cut of their revenues.
