FAQ

House Label is an all-in-one platform for independent musicians. It covers four pillars: Funding (grant discovery and application support), Royalties (registration and tracking across all collection societies), Press Relations (presskit generation and media outreach), and Marketing (brand strategy and digital visibility). Think of it as your virtual music label.

Independent musicians, composers, producers, and songwriters — especially those in Canada and the US navigating grants, royalties, and the business side of music. Whether you’re emerging or mid-career, House Label gives you the tools that signed artists get from their labels.

The Grant Finder matches you with relevant funding opportunities from 100+ sources (CALQ, Canada Council, Musicaction, FACTOR, and more). It scores grants based on your profile — genre, location, career stage, disciplines, and citizenship — so the best matches surface first. Results include deadlines, amounts, and direct links to apply.

As a musician, you’re owed royalties every time your music is played, streamed, or performed. House Label’s Royalties module identifies which collection societies you should register with (SOCAN, Re:Sound, SOPROQ, SoundExchange, etc.) based on your country, province, and roles. It tracks your registration status and guides you through each one.

Yes. All data is stored in Supabase with row-level security — only you can access your own data. Files are stored in secure cloud storage. We do not sell or share your data. AI features use Anthropic’s Claude API, which does not use API data for model training (see anthropic.com/policies/commercial-terms).

House Label includes a wide range of opportunities tailored for independent musicians at all career levels. Our database features production grants, creation and composition funding, touring support, artist residencies, awards and cash prizes, and exhibition or festival opportunities. We curate listings from organizations like CALQ, Canada Council, Musicaction, FACTOR, and many more — covering various genres, disciplines, and funding levels.

Our grants database is updated weekly. Every Monday, an automated crawl scans all grant sources, feeds new open calls into our listings, and flags any changes to existing opportunities (updated deadlines, amounts, or eligibility). You'll also see a notification on tracked grants when newer information is available.

The Grant Redactor uses a browser agent (powered by TinyFish) to navigate grant portals, extract every form field, and generate AI-powered answers based on your artist profile. You review and edit all answers before they're submitted — nothing is sent without your approval. It works in three steps: extract fields from the portal, generate answers with AI, then fill the form.

House Label is currently in invite-only beta and free for all beta users. We'll announce pricing before any paid plans launch — beta users will be the first to know and may receive special perks.

You can join the waitlist from our login page. Once we review your application, you'll receive an invite link by email to set up your account and get full access to the platform.

Yes! While our grant database currently focuses on Canadian and US funding sources, the royalty tracker, presskit generator, and catalog tools work for artists anywhere. We're actively expanding our grant coverage to include more countries.
