What is Headlights?
Headlights is a new distribution model for music, built on global competition. Artists represent their city, fans push songs up the board, and the best rise in the open.
About HeadlightsFrequently asked questions
Headlights.
The questions.
Artists, fans and a new pathway for music.
02
Why build a new model for music?
Streaming counts plays, but it does not recognize the superfans and connectors who help artists build a career. Headlights makes that human connection visible through competition.
Why Headlights, why now03
What do artists get from Headlights?
An open pathway to build a fan base, gain visibility and get paid on results. Artists keep their masters and can connect directly with the fans who back them.
For artists04
How do fans take part?
Fans discover music, back artists early and vote to move them up the board. Their own picks and progression give them a role in who rises to the top.
For fans05
Where do brands fit in?
Brands sponsor music the way they sponsor sports: through cities, rounds, teams and live events. Their support funds artist development and connects them with engaged fans.
For brands06
How does the platform grow?
The roadmap starts with the global game, then grows into leagues, media, teams and a global championship. These are planned stages, not a claim that every stage is available today.
