Blog About Topspin For Artists

For Artists

If you’re an artist already using the Topspin platform, you may access your account here.

If you’re an artist (or an artist’s business partner), and you have an existing fan base with an email list and a digital catalog, drop us a line with a brief introduction and we’ll follow-up as soon as we’re able.

Topspin is currently in limited release and we have a handful of artists, managers, and labels who are giving our platform a test drive. Artists will be invited to join on an individual basis while we focus the bulk of our development efforts on building a self-service platform, which we are targeting for release later this year. Read what a few of our partners have said about us.

We have found a number of resources to be particularly relevant to the Topspin mission of helping artists market their music. Here are a few of our favorites:
