VYU
Listen.Share.Gearup.
The support platform for independent artists.
An independent artist doesn't need likes. They need listens, reach and gear. Their fans can bring all three.
- 01ListenEvery artist page is their one link: tracks, platforms, shows.
- 02ShareEvery act of support creates a ready-to-post story. Your fans become your street team.
- 03EquipGear wishlists and crowdfunding. We order, we deliver. The address stays private.
- Léa shared “Nuit blanche”
- Théo added it to a playlist
- Camille gifted a Shure SM7B
Generated automatically in 9:16, ready for Instagram, TikTok, Snap. The fan posts it, their followers land on the artist's page.
How it works
Three ways to support, from the simplest to the most generous. All of them show up on the artist's wall.
Share, follow, add to a playlist, pre-save the next release. You appear on the wall without spending a cent.
- Share
- Follow
- Playlist
- Pre-save
A mic, a pedal, an audio interface. You pay on VYU, we place the order and the artist gets it delivered. Their address is never shared.
Studio session, music video, vinyl pressing, release campaign. The artist sets the goal, you give what you want.
Your page in two minutes.
One link for your bio. Your tracks, your dates, your wishlist, your campaigns. And every fan who supports you becomes a relay.
- One link
vyu.app/your-name gathers Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, your shows and your socials.
- Delivered, without giving your address
You pick gear for your wishlist, we order it from the supplier and it arrives at your door. The fan never sees where you live.
- Stories ready to post
Every support generates a 9:16 story in the fan's name, with your track and your link. Your fans do your promo, without you asking.
- A wall that knows you
Who gifted what, who shared, with a note. A visible audience, not a counter.
