There will be no AI music and no preferential deals for major labels.

Our value proposition is not just better payments for artists. It is a fundamental reimagining of how streaming can serve the entire music ecosystem: fans, artists, independent labels, and music workers.

Campfire will feature music from artists and ethical record labels across the country, with scene-specific discovery that highlights local communities. The catalog will showcase the incredible diversity of independent music being made and give listeners new ways to connect with it.

The problem with music streaming is not the technology. It is the underlying economics and the lack of innovation for artists and fans. Our focus has been on research, coalition-building, and fundraising so that when Campfire launches, it will be positioned to stand apart.

Thanks to your support, we have raised nearly $15,000 in just over a month of crowdfunding. Along the way we have been growing a community of artists, fans, and community partners who believe streaming can be fair, transparent, and rooted in creativity.

How do we build a more equitable and sustainable model of music streaming? It starts with you.

Your work builds culture, sustains community, and keeps music alive.

Happy Labor Day! Today at Campfire we recognize the labor of those who make music possible and accessible to the public.

Featuring @mayyadda, MøthKid, @drey.d.k, and the Johannes Larson Trio, we’re in for a great night of music. Come join us, learn about artist compensation in the streaming era, and how our nonprofit is working to change that.

We’re bringing the fire to @icehousempls on September 14 for a Campfire Music Foundation Benefit Concert — a night of music and education to power our mission of building a nonprofit music streaming platform that puts artists first.

Stay tuned, and thanks for being here!

We’ve been doing the groundwork through impact concerts, advocacy events, and artist interviews. In that time, we’ve identified what a better streaming model looks like: fair pay for artists, better social functionality for fans, authentic music discovery, and a strong user experience.

Alongside building a better streaming app, our mission includes education and dialogue. We believe artists and fans deserve more control and visibility. That’s why we’re creating content, hosting interviews, and building community through music-focused advocacy and storytelling.

We are currently fundraising and building our app towards a private beta release in the near future. Donate to our Indiegogo (link in bio) to get exclusive perks as an early beta user.

3) investing in artists so they have the time and resources to create,

and 4) educating the public about the importance of creativity and the preservation of the arts.

This includes: 1) creating a Campfire atmosphere where multiple genres of music are offered with a loving spirit

2) building a digital streaming platform to provide music to the public while fairly compensating musicians for their labor,

Our mission is to advance art, music, education, and the creative interests of musicians by lowering the technological, monetary, and educational barriers to success in the music industry.

Campfire Music Foundation was started by a group of college students and has since evolved into a nonprofit building public benefit technology backed by artists, fans, and music advocates.

The nonprofit started by a group of college students at Georgetown a few years ago has since become a grassroots streaming initiative backed by artists, fans, and music advocates across the country. 

Thank you to all our new followers for joining us on this journey. We’re just getting started.

Essentially, we’re a charity building a better streaming platform for artists and fans. No shareholders. Obligated to the community. 

Campfire has researched and identified what a better model looks like, for more info visit the campaign in our bio or the FAQs on our website.

We’re currently fundraising and developing our beta app. Behind the scenes, we’ve been at the ground level, interviewing artists, listening to fans, putting on concerts and events to educate the public and shape a platform that truly serves the music community.

Campfire Music Foundation is building public-benefit technology that addresses the structural issues of the music industry.

Our flagship project is Campfire, a new music streaming platform that pays artists more fairly and gives fans a more authentic music discovery experience.
