New York, NY (Top40 Charts) With over three million active users, BeatStars is an online music marketplace that connects musicians around the world with their collaborators. BeatStars' mission is to support independent musicians with the tools, knowledge, and community they need to earn a living doing what they love. That mission is reaching triumph as independent musicians become the fastest-growing segment of the global recorded music business, generating $1.2 billion in 2020, a 34% increase for a 5.1% market share (Inside Radio, 2021).
BeatStars has come a long way since its birth in 2008, celebrating $150 million paid out to its creators, a publishing partnership with Sony
Music Publishing, and several top-charting songs made by creators on BeatStars. BeatStars Publishing and the BeatStars Marketplace are home to many of those hit songs, including:

Producer Othello Beats is one of the thousands that have found massive success through BeatStars, going from driving kids to after school programs, to making over $40,000 a month selling beats online through BeatStars.

BeatStars has and continues to be a guiding force in connecting creators with the tools they need for success, frequently hosting educational webinars, live shows, and special placement opportunities. In the past, BeatStars has worked with artists such as Masego, Pall Wall, Doechii, and Tommy
