Evershare.io is a platform that enables fans to own a share of an artist's music income under Income Share Agreements (ISA). An ISA is an agreement between the recipient and the donors whereby the recipient agrees to share a percentage of the income generated from their project that they have raised money for. Using blockchain technology, the company is building a new way for artists and fans to engage and share the journey to musical success. For just £12 a year, an artist or band can submit their music to Evershare upon which the customer service team will help the artists or band to release their music tracks across major streaming companies such as Apple Music, Spotify, and Deezer. The artists also get to keep 100% of royalties they earn from the release of their albums or singles. They will use the investment to support and bring talent that is less heard or unknown to fans and break the unhealthy oligopoly that exists in the music publishing industry.
