    Press release

    CreateBase launches publicly

    The platform that turns stories into royalties is now available to everyone.
    San Diego, CA · August 25, 2025

    Music has a royalty problem.

    For decades, brilliant artists have created beautiful music, only to watch their royalties disappear into administrative chaos. Split sheets lost. Metadata corrupted. Billions locked away in black boxes.

    It's inexcusable.

    Today, we're opening CreateBase to the public.

    A platform built for artists

    CreateBase started with one mission: build the platform artists actually need. Turns out, when you solve it for artists, you solve it for the entire ecosystem. Built on our breakthrough Story-to-Splits Engine, it understands your creative process and automatically handles everything the industry makes impossibly complicated.

    You create. We handle the rest.

    No lawyers. No spreadsheets. No $10,000 monthly admin fees. Just a platform that works the way royalties should have all along.

    "Every other platform asks artists to learn their broken system. We built a system that learns the artist. That's not innovation. That's revolution. And revolutions don't ask for permission." — Arsh Shah, CEO and Co-Founder

    How CreateBase works

    Sign up. Tell your story. Watch as the world's fastest registration system interprets, registers, and activates your rights automatically in 90 seconds. Splits lock. Metadata cleans itself. Royalties flow everywhere they belong.

    You can finish your publishing before your album uploads.

    What cost $2,000-$10,000 per month and took months to complete now costs $200 per year and happens faster than ordering coffee.

    We make money when you make money

    Here's how it works: You pay $200/year. We take a percentage of what we recover — your rate depends on your situation.

    Aligned incentives — we do better when you do better. No thresholds. No gimmicks.

    No platform has ever done this because no platform has ever been built to actually win.

    Everyone wins

    When you build something that actually works for artists, it transforms every part of the industry:

    • → Songwriters get automatic rights registration.
    • → Labels end split sheet chaos.
    • → Managers have one source of truth.
    • → Distributors receive perfect metadata.
    • → PROs get clean data with less processing.
    • → Licensing teams achieve faster approvals.

    The entire industry just got better.

    Public launch

    After years of private development, CreateBase is now open to everyone.

    The future of music royalties is here. Join it, and start earning what you deserve.
