Step 01 · Artist / Manager

Your music. Immortalized in a card collectors actually hunt for.

Officially licensed trading cards for your shows and tours. You approve everything. You keep 100% of sales. Flat fee — no revenue split, ever.

Welcome

The trading card for music artists.

The trading card world is our lifelong passion. With a decade in the music industry, we built a strategy to bridge the gap between artists, fans, and brands. Sports has had this for decades. Music is just getting started.

The Problem

Fan-made cards are out of control.

Fan-made trading cards are already circulating with your name and face — and you're not seeing a cent or approving a single image.

  • 01

    Unlicensed

    Made with zero artist consent. Fans print cards using any image they find without permission.

  • 02

    Uncontrolled

    Any photo, any copy can appear on these cards. Artists have no veto over what gets printed with their name and face.

  • 03

    No Revenue

    Artists earn nothing from their likeness in one of the fastest growing collectible categories on the market.

The Solution

We represent artists like the MLB Players Association.

01

Official Licensing

We secure rights to your likeness, approved photos, and copy — making every card 100% official.

02

Artist Creative Control

You approve all photography, statistics, and copy before print. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.

03

Curated Roster Network

We're building a sponsor-ready roster that connects artists to brands, festivals, and collectors at scale.

04

Flat Fee Model

No revenue splits. You pay a flat manufacturing and design fee. You keep 100% of card sales.

The Network

Why a roster matters.

Sponsor Access

Sponsor Access

Brands want to activate with artists. We give sponsors a single point of contact for officially licensed music collectibles — and you're on that list.

Festivals

Festival Partnerships

Festivals want exclusive drops. Roster artists get priority placement in our festival deals and merchandise tent strategy.

Collectors

Collector Network

We build the collector audience alongside you. Roster artists benefit from the entire network, not just their own fanbase.

Protection

Brand Protection

Being on the official roster signals legitimacy. No more unlicensed knockoffs competing with your name.
