As an aspiring artist or amateur musician, I'm always looking for ways to effectively promote my music and share it with a larger audience. I need a platform that allows me to advertise my tracks, receive feedback, and connect with other artists and fans. In addition, it's important to me to have a platform where I maintain control over my content and have the ability to directly provide my fans with new music. I also want the ability to share my music on my social media platforms and create playlists. Additionally, an option for ad-free listening and extended upload hours for different content would be beneficial.
