About Artist Desk

Artist Desk is an innovative platform built for independent musicians. We combine project management, music catalog management, cloud storage, and analytics dashboards (Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, SoundCloud) into one seamless experience. Our platform helps artists manage demos, masters, and releases while streamlining collaboration and feedback—all accessible from desktop and mobile.

We're a music tech startup on a mission to empower independent artists with professional-grade tools that don't require a record deal. We are currently pre-launch and looking for creative help to build our educational content and strategy.
