You may be making your first song or video or have years of music or content behind you. You may live in a big city, a small town, or a village few people have heard of.
There is a place for your story on TimTim.Live.
Here is what we offer:
- Join and share unlimited music or video on TimTim.Live for free. There is no joining fee or fee for each release.
- Keep ownership of your music or content. Sharing your work with TimTim.Live does not give us ownership. You choose the permissions you give us.
- Get a page for each song or video. We create a home for your music or video and its story, designed to help search engines and AI tools understand it. These methods are called SEO, AEO, and GEO.
- Choose two language audiences free for each song or video. These choices help interested listeners discover your music or video across countries. The third costs $8; each next language doubles, up to US$200 per language, paid once for that song or video. Your recording stays the same.
Today, you can share music or video and build your presence on TimTim.Live. Direct delivery to outside streaming services, along with some selling and payout tools, is still marked Coming Soon. Each service should clearly tell you when it is available.
We also offer free, ongoing promotion for your music or video and artist or creator profile, with no time limit.
Our blog marketing and social media promotion follow one simple rotation:
- 80% of scheduled promotional posts focus on your new releases.
- 20% focus on your artist profile, helping people discover your story, your sound, and you.
For every ten promotional posts, eight introduce your new music or video and two help listeners get to know the artist or creator behind it.
This rotation continues for as long as you choose to participate, within the agreed posting limits for each connected platform.
Blog posts introduce your songs and tell your story. With your permission, our TimTim.Live AI agents can also help manage posts on your social media accounts through this ongoing rotation.
You provide your own video clips. Our AI agents help write content and plan posts around your music or video, your style, and your experiences.
Before posting begins, you review your promotion plan. It explains what will be shared, which accounts will be used, how often posts are scheduled, and how the 80% music or video and 20% artist or creator profile rotation works.
You approve every post before it is shared. You can correct the content, pause promotion, or opt out at any time.
As you add new songs or videos, we update the plan and rotate them through the music or video portion of your schedule. We plan your releases together within the agreed posting limits, while continuing to introduce listeners to your artist or creator profile.
We want artists and creators to see what was published and which efforts helped people find their music or video.
Your promotion can keep going as your music or video and your career grow.
A song deserves a chance to find new listeners long after its release day.
We also want you to understand the money clearly.
The published Free plan has no monthly upload fee. After the 14-day trial, TimTim.Live’s service share is 15% of music or video sales and streaming revenue handled through TimTim.Live. Payment processing fees are separate. During the trial, TimTim.Live takes no share of that music or video revenue.
Money you collect through your own distributor or rights organization stays outside that share. Optional paid plans have different prices and shares, which you can read before choosing.
Keeping your rights means you keep ownership of your music or video. A service fee is a share of earnings—it does not give TimTim.Live ownership.
I want you to understand the offer before trusting us with your work.
That matters to me because I am an independent artist too.
My name is Pierre Richard Augustin. I am a Konpa artist and the founder of TimTim.Live.
My story begins in Haiti.
I was lucky. My mother, Manmy Selo, and my father, Papi Dodo, ran businesses throughout their lives. They worked hard and gave me opportunities many children never receive.
When I was twelve, they helped make my dream come true: going to school in Paris, France.
My parents opened a door to a world beyond my hometown. I have never forgotten what that opportunity meant.
Years later, when I was eighteen, I saw a white guitar hanging in a store on a cold afternoon in Lynn, Massachusetts.
I bought it.
It felt as though a new part of my life had begun.
But later, there were bills to pay and responsibilities to meet. I went back and sold that white guitar.
It felt as though I had left a piece of my heart behind.
The guitar was gone, but the dream stayed with me for forty years.
In 1988, at Salem State University, I sat at a piano and dreamed of forming a band and writing songs. I bought an electric piano and played Tropicana melodies.
Still, business, work, and responsibilities kept pushing music aside.
I know what it feels like to put a musical dream on hold because other needs must come first.
That white guitar reminds me how much one opportunity can mean.
Through TimTim.Live, I want to help another artist’s voice travel farther than their circumstances allow.
Haiti also taught me how much music matters.
After the terrible earthquake in 2010, many people lost their homes and loved ones. Musicians brought songs to families living in tents. Even after losing their school and instruments, musicians from Holy Trinity Music School played for survivors.
Music brought moments of comfort and joy.
A new electronic form of rabòday grew from Haiti’s musical roots, giving young people another way to share their feelings and celebrate life.
A song can help us say something when we cannot find the words.
My story begins in Haiti. Yours may begin somewhere very different.
Wherever you come from, I want you to have a fair chance to share your music or video.
There are gifted singers, songwriters, musicians, and producers everywhere, including my hometown of Les Cayes, Haiti.
Some families can help an artist begin. Others must spend every dollar on food, housing, and school.
Their talent still deserves a chance.
Today, a phone, an internet connection, and music or video tools—including AI-assisted tools—can help more people bring their own ideas to life.
TimTim.Live wants to help those songs or videos travel farther.
Free for the artist still costs TimTim.Live money.
We pay for the computers that run our service, online storage that holds music or video, and internet data that carries it. We also pay for security, support, preparing releases, and barcode costs when needed.
TimTim.Live is choosing to help cover these costs. Our service fees and careful spending help us work toward keeping this opportunity available.
We respect the skill, time, and care artists put into their work. Artists bring original ideas, cultural knowledge, humor, beautiful lyrics, and music that makes people dance.
Our goal is to help millions of independent artists worldwide get a chance to be heard.
We cannot promise fame, a certain number of followers, or an income.
We can work to help your music or video find interested listeners.
And one listener can matter.
That listener might share your song or video, follow your work, or help you find the courage to keep creating.
Start with one song or video. Experience TimTim.Live for yourself.
If the experience helps you, invite one artist or creator whose music or video you believe in. Tell them what you tried, what it costs, and what they can expect.
Inviting someone is your choice.
One artist helping another can open a door that money once kept closed.
To every listener: give an unfamiliar artist a moment of your attention.
You can feel a song or video before you understand its words. Music or video can travel beyond borders and reach someone who has never visited the place where it began.
It asks only:
Will you listen?
Start with one song or video on TimTim.Live.
