ABOUT TINPAN
The songwriting capital
of the internet
OUR MISSION
Millions of new writers. Billions of new songs. Tinpan is architecture for the era of infinity, organizing songs around human intention, judgment, and meaning.
Tinpan is an American online music platform inspired by New York City's historic Tin Pan Alley. The platform organizes music into rooms based on artists, interests, and creative destinations. Songwriters can submit compositions intended for particular recording artists or other uses, while listeners explore new music, discover emerging talent, and back songs they believe in. For music industry professionals, Tinpan provides tools to discover material and post briefs seeking songs for recording artists, film, television, advertising, gaming, and other commercial projects. The platform accepts AI-assisted music alongside traditionally produced recordings, subject to requirements for human creative contribution and the rights necessary to submit the material. Songwriters retain ownership of their submitted compositions. Tinpan's longer-term research explores whether recorded human judgments about new music can help identify promising songs and inform machine-learning systems for music discovery and A&R.
How it works
Drop
Write a song for anyone: an artist, a film, a game, a brand. Drop it in their room. The song stays yours.
Listen
Listen to songs nobody has heard yet. Bet on the ones you think are going somewhere.
Write to a brief
Verified desks post briefs for exactly what they need, with a closing date. Write to it before it closes.
Get heard
The songs that rise land on industry desks. Desks hear them, hold them, and make deals.
