What is Vocana?
Vocana is an independent-only music streaming platform built to fix what's broken in streaming.
Traditional model
Every subscription goes into one pool, split by total streams across the whole platform.
User-centric model
Your subscription is divided among the artists you actually stream.
Instead of pro-rata payouts and algorithmic feeds, Vocana uses a user-centric payment model and community-led discovery, so artists are paid by the fans who actually listen, and listeners find music through people, not machines.

Still Curious?
How is Vocana different?
Vocana is built as something different. Vocana is an independent-only music streaming platform focused on discovery through people, not algorithms, and on paying artists based on real fan listening rather than pooled, pro-rata subscription models.
How does Vocana pay artists?
Vocana uses a user-centric payment model, which means an artist's earnings are based on the fans who actually listen to their music. Instead of all subscription revenue being pooled and divided by total streams, a listener's subscription directly supports the artists they spend time with.
Who is Vocana for?
Vocana is for real music fans, the ones who love discovering new artists and supporting them, and for independent musicians looking to connect with listeners who actually care.
