The Beam offers two distinct account types—Artist Accounts and User Accounts—to ensure everyone can get the most out of our platform. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right account for your needs.

The Beam How To

Artist Accounts 🎤

Artist accounts are designed for creators who want to share their music and build their careers on The Beam. With an artist account, you can:

  • Post Music: Share your latest tracks and engage with superfans.
  • Compete in Chart Seasons: Climb the charts by rallying fan support.
  • Enter Brand-Sponsored Challenges: Showcase your talent and compete for exclusive opportunities.
  • Monetize the Network: Earn directly from superfans and brand partnerships.

User Accounts 🙌

User accounts are perfect for fans and members of an artist’s team. With a user account, you can:

  • Support Your Favorite Artists: Vote for their songs and help them rise in the charts.
  • Join the Artist’s Team: Artists can invite collaborators to assist in managing their presence on The Beam.
  • Engage with the Community: Stay updated on live events, new releases, and more.

User accounts are all about participation and connection. Whether you’re a superfan or part of an artist’s inner circle, this is your gateway to The Beam experience.
