    No. Soundyard is a direct marketplace for DJs, producers and artists — not a streaming distributor.

    Producers, artists, vocalists, songwriters, bands and labels worldwide — after review. Soundyard is curated: we ask for a link to your catalogue and for a few lines about how you make your music, and a person reads both. Applications are reviewed within 48 hours.
    No. Fully AI-generated tracks are not accepted on Soundyard. Without meaningful human authorship no copyright arises, so there is nothing we can license to our DJs or register with a collecting society. Using AI as a tool inside your own production — a sample, a stem, a vocal you process — is welcome, as long as you declare it per track when you upload.
