Make the first listen count.
Run a pre-release drop around your next release. Give fans a reason to show up before the music goes everywhere.
Pre-release software for independent artists
Drop the music.
Keep the connection.
Run pre-release drops that build a fan list you own. Firstwave gives your next release a longer life than a moment in the feed.
Artists pay for the tools. Fans use DAY ONES free.
The real takeaway
Your fans. Your list.
Built on three promises
Artists own their fan list
DAY ONES is free for fans
Software, not a music store
Before release day. Beyond release day.
A drop is the start.
The list is the asset.
Streams mark a moment. A fan list gives you somewhere to begin again. Firstwave is built around that difference.
For your day ones
Let the people who arrive early become part of what comes next.
Turn early attention into a fan list.
Each drop builds a list of the people who showed up early. That connection belongs to you, not another feed.
Build from one release to the next.
Your release ends. Your fan list doesn't. Make every drop part of a longer relationship with your listeners.
Invest in the connection
Your next drop starts here.
