Lissen is a global streaming platform that has two clear focuses: improving discoverability and distributing royalties directly to artists. Featuring exclusive content from selected artists and an ever-growing library of global music, Lissen aims to provide fan-focused user experiences and share subscription royalties directly with artists.

Fan-Centric Royalty Model

Lissen prides itself on a unique royalty model that creates a ‘fairer ecosystem’ for artists. Listener subscriptions are paid directly to the rights-holders, based on how much time a user listens to their music on the app. Royalties aren’t entered into a subscription pool like most other DSPs, but instead are paid out to artists at the user level.

Interactive Music Discoverability

Lissen provides users with an interactive Explore feed, where scrolling through tracks directly influences the algorithm’s decisions. Complex recommendation engines help artists to get discovered more easily and help fans find new artists to support.

Exclusive Fan Experiences

Fans are able to purchase access to exclusive experiences, including gigs, video calls, livestreams and more, with their favourite artists, directly in the Lissen app, facilitating greater engagement between artists and their most dedicated fans.
