Gatefolded

Private music sharing for artists

About

Spent nearly a decade as employee #2 at DistroKid, helping scale it from a small startup to a billion-dollar industry leader. I kept seeing the same problem: artists sharing unreleased music through messy WeTransfer links, Google Drive folders, and private SoundCloud uploads. So I built Gatefolded, a private music sharing platform that gives artists control over who hears their work. Based in the Seattle area, always happy to chat about music tech, creator tools, or the indie artist experience.

Gatefolded - Password-protected links for pre-release music sharing

After 10 years at DistroKid, I kept hearing artists frustrated with sharing unreleased music. SoundCloud has copyright bots, WeTransfer expires, Google Drive has no analytics. Gatefolded gives you: password-protected links, real analytics (who listened + when), instant access revocation, and optional tip collection. No platform risk, no false copyright claims. Built it as a musician who books shows in Seattle. $49/year, currently in beta. Would love feedback from the community!
