Independent artist playlist submissions

Submit your music directly to 8 independent Spotify playlists

Choose the playlists that fit your track. Each playlist uses one credit. Every submission is reviewed manually; placement is never guaranteed.

I am Evgeny, the curator behind JAE Music. I have reviewed music hands-on since 2019 and built this platform to give independent artists a clear, personal submission route.

A simple submission flow

How it works

A clear route from early access to a personal playlist review.

1

Join early access

Sign in with Google, join the waitlist, and follow your live position from the dashboard.

2

Receive free credits

After approval, use your welcome credits and claim new free credits every week. One selected playlist uses one credit.

3

Submit for manual review

Choose one or more suitable playlists, or let JAE choose. Every track is reviewed personally.

Free access or lifetime Founder value

Start free. Upgrade once when you want more.

JAE Music does not require a subscription. Free artists keep a useful weekly route, while the Early Alpha Founder offer permanently adds stronger credit rewards, priority review and JAE Promo queue access.

Lifetime Founder offer EUR 9.99 One payment, no renewal
JAE Promo queue Queue is open 9 visible opportunities across 3 months; allocation starts 1 August 2026.
Lifetime Founder window Ends 1 September 2026 After this date, the planned JAE Artist Pass is a fixed 12-month product instead of lifetime access.

Founding Artist Pass

Best lifetime value

Lock in the Early Alpha benefits

EUR 9.99 one-time

  • 50 premium credits when Founder status is activated
  • 2 free + 2 premium credits every week
  • Permanent Founder status and priority review
  • Lifetime access to the artist-based JAE Promo queue
  • Automatic return to the back after a confirmed reservation
  • Founder-only automatic weekly claiming planned before the end of 2026

After payment, email me from your JAE Music login address so I can activate the Pass manually.

Why the current offer is different

EUR 9.99 buys lifetime Founder benefits today.

From 1 September 2026, the same opening price is planned to unlock only a 12-month JAE Artist Pass. Founder status itself will not be sold again.

Transparent pricing after Early Alpha

Future JAE Artist Pass

A one-time 12-month purchase with no subscription and no automatic renewal. The planned benefits include 25 premium start credits, 1 free + 1 premium credits per weekly dashboard claim, priority review and the same artist-based JAE Promo queue while the Pass is active.

This is a public pricing preview. The future checkout is not open yet.

1-5 confirmed purchases EUR 9.99 Opening tier
6-10 confirmed purchases EUR 13.99
11-15 confirmed purchases EUR 17.99
16-20 confirmed purchases EUR 21.99
21-25 confirmed purchases EUR 25.99
26+ purchases EUR 29.99

The price rises only after each group of 5 confirmed purchases. Every step is published in advance; unpaid checkouts do not count.

One fair Promo queue

3 JAE Promo spots per month

Pass holders first request access for their artist. After JAE approval, the request enters one permanent queue. The planned track stays editable; when capacity reaches the artist, one exact month inside the rolling three-month horizon is temporarily held.

A 48-hour timer begins only after the offer email is sent. If it expires, the next artist receives the place and the saved request pauses; a confirmed artist returns to the back automatically. Current Founders keep this access for life; future JAE Artist Pass holders keep it during their active Pass period. Queue access never guarantees a reservation, curator response, placement, streams or another result.

Community-funded infrastructure

Keeping JAE Music independent

JAE Music is independently built and currently run as a personal project. Founder Passes and paid promotion help cover the tools and infrastructure needed to keep it available and sustainable. Until these costs are covered, JAE remains personally funded as a hobby project.

July 2026 – June 2027 €78.81 net of €600.00 13.1% funded
Annual operating goal €78.81 / €600.00 net covered
Hosting, domain & business email €120.00
Promotion & outreach software €180.00
Development & AI tools €240.00
Small operating reserve €60.00

Already personally funded: Email verification licence — €90.00. This one-time investment is not part of the €600.00 goal.

Net means after fees. The meter counts only what JAE actually receives. In one current example, a €10 payment leaves €8.67 net: €1.33 (13.3%) goes to payment processing. Exact fees vary by method.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

The five most useful answers for artists considering JAE Music.

View all FAQs
How do I submit a track?

Sign in with Google and wait until your account has been approved. Open “Submit Track”, paste a public Spotify track URL, select one or more playlists, choose your credit type and review everything before submitting.

What happens after I submit my track?

Your submission will first appear as Pending while it is reviewed. If it is accepted, the track is added to the selected playlist or playlists and you will normally receive a confirmation email. You can follow the status under “My Submissions”.

Does submitting guarantee playlist placement?

No. Every track is reviewed manually based on quality, playlist fit and available space. Using premium credits or having Founder Priority gives your submission earlier review, but never guarantees acceptance.

How do credits work?

Each selected playlist costs one credit. For example, submitting one track to three playlists costs three credits. Your available free and premium credit balances are shown in the Credits section.

How do weekly credits work?

Approved users can claim free credits once every seven days. Regular users currently receive 1 credit per claim, while Founding Members receive 3. Founders may also claim while their account is still pending.

Temporary launch offer

Wider Spotify playlist promotion

Choose 100–900 targeted outbound playlist pitches for one track during the opening offer. Outreach is guaranteed; playlist placement and streams are not.
