Co-founded by DJ and producer TOKiMONSTA, Sonu is a new free music streaming platform that addresses the broken economics of streaming. We're building a fresh take on how music streaming should be — built by artists, for fans that want artists to earn more for their work.
We have over 5 million tracks on Sonu — and adding more daily! Check out our artists here.
Sonu is a music streaming platform. You can stream songs, discover new music, create playlists, and follow friends. Sonu is also a deeper way to support the artists you love by buying your favorite songs as SONAs and building a collection of your top tracks. We call these tracks SONAs. More on that below!
A SONA is a one-of-a-kind digital twin of a specific song. Artists can auction their songs as SONAs, which gives you the opportunity to share in the success of your favorite artists by collecting SONAs. There can only be one owner of a SONA at a time. It’s a singular way to show your support for your favorite artists, as collectors are showcased prominently on an artist’s profile — and also earn 70% of the Sonu streaming rewards for that specific song.
Artists choose which songs they’d like to auction as SONAs. The artist sets a minimum reserve price and schedules the auction. Once launched, auctions last 24 hours and the highest bidder wins. The SONA will be transferred to the winner’s wallet at the end of the auction. Any streaming rewards will be automatically distributed to whichever wallet holds the SONA. Bookmark our public auction calendar HERE.
Currently, only people in the United States can stream, earn rewards, or buy SONAs. We’re working diligently on expanding access soon! ****Submit our form here to express interest in having Sonu launch in your country.

Co-founded by DJ/producer TOKiMONSTA, Sonu is an artist-centric streaming platform that tilts streaming economics back in the favor of artists through direct support of fans and collectors.
We connect artists with superfans and collectors who want to support their growth so they keep more of the value they create with your music.
Sonu pays out streaming rewards to artists by distributing transaction fees pro-rata proportional to streaming percentage. You can also auction off SONAs to unlock value and offer superfans and collectors a way to support your work directly.
