Harmonic at a Glance

A Marketplace for Music Nerds and Super Fans
Harmonic began as a simple idea: give anyone the ability to create a digital record store and champion the artists they care about. As we’ve developed the platform and collaborated with artists and curators, Harmonic has evolved into a new kind of music ecosystem with tools for meaningful recommendations, unique multi-media releases, and a commission structure that supports everyone involved.

What is the Curator Fund?

Independent artists deserve thoughtful coverage, and the curators who surface and recommend that work deserve support. The Harmonic Curator Fund is a small honorarium program created to help music writers, podcasters, content creators, and community organizers spend focused time discovering artists, sharing their perspectives, and shaping the early curation layer of Harmonic.

Selected curators will receive an honorarium for a short, three-week project period where they’ll recommend music they believe in, connect with independent artists, and help bring new voices onto Harmonic.

What Curators Will Do

Over a three-week period, 10 selected curators will:

  • Identify 10 independent artists whose work deserves more visibility
  • Make initial outreach to those artists
  • Help bring at least one artist onto Harmonic
  • Write recommendations for the artists’ releases on the platform
  • Provide feedback on how we can improve Harmonic

This is an opportunity to spotlight artists you care about and shape how discovery works on Harmonic from the very beginning.


Compensation

Curators receive a $275 honorarium for participating in the program, plus a $75 bonus for each additional artist brought onto Harmonic after the first one. Curators can receive up to $500 (in addition to commission from sales).

Additional Benefits

  • 10% commission on any sales driven by your recommendations
  • Featured placement on Harmonic’s homepage, newsletters, and social channels
  • Early access to Harmonic’s future Verified Curator Program
