Tune Grock: 360° Artist Growth
A dynamic music platform built for emerging artists to grow their careers through structured feedback, audience-building tools, and performance insights.
Project Goals
- Help artists transition from demo creation to the public spotlight.
- Provide professional-level feedback using a blend of human expertise and AI.
- Offer comprehensive tools to organize, promote, and monetize their music.
- Build a fanbase that artists truly own, not just rent from other platforms.
The Problem
Most music platforms focus solely on exposure, neglecting artist development. Independent artists often lack access to genuine feedback from professionals, user-friendly tools for scheduling and promotion, and true ownership over their fanbase and data.

We developed Tune Grock, a comprehensive full-stack artist development platform. Its core features include:
- A hybrid Human + AI Feedback System for in-depth song critiques.
- An "Upload Vault" for securely organizing demos, lyrics, artwork, and final tracks.
- An intuitive EPK (Electronic Press Kit) Builder for creating professional digital kits.
- Integrated Promo & Monetization Tools, including fan gifting and growth analytics.
- A tailored Artist Dashboard with tiered plans designed for different growth stages.
