SURF Music aims to connect songwriters, producers, and music makers globally, providing access to markets and labels, particularly in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Furthermore, the platform has successfully bridged the gap between the Asian and Western music markets, recently welcoming major Japanese labels like Universal Music Japan, Sony Japan, Avex, and Fujipacific.
Now, SURF’s new free tier gives global creators access to SURF’s network and the ability to leverage its powerful features to connect and collaborate with other artists and industry professionals.
The Freemium tier allows users to explore SURF’s discovery features and collaborate with other artists on curated project briefs in SURF Sessions. This opportunity enables aspiring musicians to submit their work for potential collaboration with established creators, such as renowned producer Bad Milk, and get noticed across the seas.

Users can include lyrics sheets, stems, and split sheets tied to songs, ensuring they have all the necessary materials for project consideration.
Community-building and collaboration are integral to SURF’s technology. The AI-powered auto-tagging feature evaluates and tags uploaded works, recommending potential collaborators based on these tags. Additionally, SURF’s Magic Search tool scans the marketplace for songs that match a desired vibe or tone, creating custom playlists from unreleased music based on user input.
Freemium users can place one finished track on SURF Music’s marketplace, discover and direct message potential collaborators globally, use real-time translation chat, and join existing sessions by invitation from higher-tier users.
