Music belongs to people,
not platforms.

Buy music. Own it forever. Lend it to friends.
100% of every sale goes to the artist.

An artist needs 2,490 Spotify streams to earn what one Bela purchase pays.
We think artists deserve real money and listeners deserve real ownership.

How it works

1

Buy an album.

It's yours. Download it. Keep it forever. DRM-free, lossless quality.

2

Lend it to a friend.

They stream it for a few days. You get it back automatically. Just like handing someone a CD.

3

They love it? They buy their own.

The artist gets paid again. The library grows. Every purchase makes the community richer.

Already buy music on Bandcamp?

Good. So does our audience. Bandcamp is a great store. But when you buy there, you get files in a folder. When you buy on Bela, you get files and a lendable copy in a social library your friends can borrow from.

Bela never requires exclusivity. Sell and buy on both.

Your collection means something

Every album shows when you bought it, who you've lent it to, and how long it's been in your collection. Your profile is your shelf - friends browse it the way they'd browse your records at home. See what ownership feels like →

For artists

You made the music. You should get paid for it. No exclusive contracts. No algorithms. No calling your art "content."
