AboutBandcamp
Bandcamp is an online record store and music community where passionate fans discover, connect with, and?directly support?the artists they love.Early in the development of his autobiography, Prince told his co-writer:Music is healing. Write that down first.He said he wanted this to be the book¡¯s guiding principle, and that same principle guides and motivates our work at Bandcamp. Because if music heals, then clearly a system should exist that helps the broadest possible range of artists share that power with the world. So we built Bandcamp to directly connect artists and their fans, and make it easy for fans to support artists equitably so that they can?keep making music.Bandcamp¡¯s mission is to help spread the healing power of music by building a community where artists thrive through the direct support of their fans, and where fans gather to explore the amazing musical universe that their direct support helps create.How Bandcamp worksWhen a fan buys something on Bandcamp,?an average of 82%?of the money goes to the artist or their label ¡ª typically in 24-48 hours ¡ª and the remainder covers our?revenue share?and payment processor fees.Since we only make money when artists make a lot more money, our interests remain aligned with those of our community. It¡¯s a straightforward, artists-first approach, and one we¡¯re happy to say works well.?Fans have paid artists and their labels $826 million using Bandcamp.?In the past year alone, they¡¯ve spent $218 million on?15.4?million digital albums,?6.9?million tracks,?2.2?million vinyl records,?950,000 CDs,?550,000 cassettes,?and?450,000 t-shirts.How we workWe¡¯ve been a distributed company since our founding in 2008. Our team of 100+ people is sprinkled throughout the world, and we use a bunch of online collaboration tools to work together across time zones.
