// Vaka Music Studio · For artists

Your music.
Your store.
Your fans.

The studio is where Pacific Islander artists run their direct-to-fan business on Vaka Music. No label, no streaming middleman: you list it, fans buy it, and it's theirs.

01 / What's in the studio

Everything you need to sell direct.

One storefront

Music, merch, events, and membership tiers on one profile. You set every price.

Payouts on your schedule

Connect Stripe once. Sales are released to your bank weekly, every two weeks, or monthly.

A room for your members

Members-only chat on your profile, where your closest fans actually hear from you.

Artist Ranking

Earn points for releases, merch, events, and steady weeks, then climb the ranking from your own dashboard.

02 / Artist Ranking

Show up.
Climb the ranking.

Every approved artist is ranked by activity points, earned from your own dashboard. The ranking resets on the 1st of every month, so new artists can top it right away. Sales and earnings never count.
