Free split sheets & release checks for independent artists
2 followers
PaperFirst is a free paperwork tool for independent artists, built by an independent label (Sack Boyz Entertainment, Orlando). No account, no cost, collects nothing. 1) SPLIT SHEET GENERATOR — it refuses to print until the writers' and producers' shares total exactly 100%. No split sheet, no sync. 2) RELEASE CHECK — eight gates a release must pass before it goes out, named one by one. Installable web app — free for students and artists, forever. Our motto is the product: "No one can get hurt."
Four owners. One record. No paper.
That's where PaperFirst started. Sack Boyz Entertainment is an independent label run by four co-CEOs in Orlando, and we kept watching the same injury: a song gets made by people who trust each other, nobody writes the shares down, and the trust is what breaks when the money shows up.
So we built the paper into a tool and made it free. The split sheet won't print until the count is exactly 100%. The release check names every missing gate before a record goes out. It asks for nothing — no account, no email, no data.
We are, entry and exit, our company: an artist, a record, and a dollar should move through the paper, so no one can get hurt.
It's live at paperfirst.tech and free forever for artists and students. We'd rather have your hard questions than your applause: what gate is missing, what would make this yours? Tell us here and we'll answer every one.
