Cog Music is the store and player built for artists here at home. Sell singles and playlists in shillings, keep 70%, and cash out to M-Pesa every week. Fans download once and listen offline, and every play is counted.
Sign up with your phone number. We verify you with a one-time code and review your profile, usually within a day.
Add your tracks, cover art and price in TZS. Submit for a quick quality check before they go live in the store.
Fans buy and download. You keep 70% of every sale and withdraw straight to your mobile money.
Most platforms pay pennies. We keep it simple: 70% of every sale is yours, shown clearly before the fan even pays. You set the price, you see the math.
Songs are locked to the device that bought them, so a download cannot be copied and passed around for free. Plays are recorded on the phone and synced back to you, whether your fan is online or on the daladala with no signal.
There is no charge to join, upload, or keep your catalogue online. We take a 30% platform fee only when a fan buys your song. That fee covers hosting, mobile money charges, encryption and support. When you earn, we earn. When you do not, you owe nothing.
You collect 70% of every sale into your balance. Once you pass TZS 10,000 you can withdraw to M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa or Airtel Money. Most artists cash out weekly.
No. Downloads are encrypted and locked to the device that bought them. The file will not play if it is copied to another phone, so your work is not passed around for free.
Yes. The player records each listen on the phone, even with no signal, and sends the counts back the next time it connects. Your dashboard shows online and offline plays.
