The Operating System for Live Music

Shows happen
when fans decide.

Simon Sounds eliminates the guesswork from live music. Artists know where to play before they book. Venues fill rooms before they commit. And fans finally have a voice in where the music goes.

The problem

Live music carries all the risk
before a single ticket is sold.

Artists tour on hope and debt. Venues take dates on faith. Fans buy tickets to shows that get cancelled. Simon Sounds fixes the root cause — nobody confirmed real demand before anyone committed.

Be your own
promoter
Artists use real fan demand to route their own tour and connect directly with venues — no booking agent or promoter required.
Zero risk
until it's real
Fan commitments are held until the show threshold is met. If it doesn't lock, no one loses anything.
Your city
earns the show
Fan demand — not an algorithm or a promoter's guess — decides where artists play next.

Four engines.
One closed loop.

01
📡
Demand Aggregator
Pulls Spotify, TikTok, and Instagram data to map where an artist's fans actually live. Calculates a Show Viability Score for venues in those cities.

🔒
Escrow Gateway
Fans pay a 20% commit fee. Funds are held in escrow. When the threshold is reached, the contract auto-executes and remaining balances are captured.
Finance
03
Production Engine
Once the threshold is met, Simon Sounds auto-generates a digital contract between artist and venue, locking the date, rider, and insurance terms.

Tour Card
Artists can spend against committed escrow before the show — hotels, gas, gear. A Visa-backed card issued against future revenue, not a loan.
Fintech

Built for three sides
of every show.

Tour without
going broke first.

The average independent artist loses money on their first tour. Not because people don't want to see them — because nobody had a way to prove it before they booked flights and vans. Simon Sounds shows you exactly where your fans are, then funds the show before you spend a dollar.

  • Heatmap shows demand city by city before you commit to a date
  • Tour Card lets you draw against escrow for hotels, gas, and gear
  • Contracts auto-execute when threshold is met — no chasing venues
  • Even cancelled campaigns earn you 60% of cancellation fees

Fill your room.
Know before you book.

Venues take all the risk in the current model — holding dates for artists who might not draw. Simon Sounds shows you real committed revenue before you sign anything. If the show doesn't lock, you lose nothing. If it does, the contract executes automatically.

  • Accept or decline artist proposals before any date is locked
  • Contracts auto-execute with insurance baked in at threshold
