WHY WAS TIDAL FOUNDED?
Because nothing should get in between fans and artists
The tool was founded with the mission of bringing fans and artists closer together and creating a sustainable industry model that values music and artists. By empowering artists with greater creative control and operating as a majority artist-owned company, the app is uniquely positioned to create more value for fans and a stronger artist-fan connection. Music consumption is changing. It is shifting away from purchasing and owning music (via CD sales and downloads) to now accessing music via streaming without a desire to own physical copies of music. This shift represents an opportunity to create a better experience for fans by empowering artists to share what they want, when and how they want to, directly with their fans. Whether it is through sharing exclusive songs and videos or live experiences, the app provides something unique.
Because we believe in the next generation of artists
"While we're proud to offer a catalog of over 58 million songs to app members, we know the experience shouldn't end there for music fans: so the Desktop app is actively seeking and building the next generation of emerging artists while helping the app subscribers easily discover new music along the way. Through the app Rising, we are actively engaged in the marketing and promotion of young, promising talent, including giving them a stage at the app X events – because the future of music is only as bright as the next generation who creates it."
Because diversity in music matters
We believe in the power of independent artists and that music should be as diverse as the world of people who listen to it. The tool for Mac celebrates artist creativity by providing a commercially viable platform to distribute music that isn't always targeted to mainstream distribution outlets. "We believe that creating art should not be limited to traditional distribution formulas to drive mass appeal (e.g. shorter song lengths, language constraints), but rather artists’ true intention to create authentic music for their fans."
