Música Viva

Where music lives

Discover

Music with meaning lives here.

Singer-songwriters, trova, canción de autor. At Música Viva, songs with something to say find their home — where the words matter, the artist owns their world, and listeners hold a piece of the work in their hands.

What we are

Music with meaning

Singer-songwriters. Trova. Canción de autor. Songs that tell something, say something, carry weight.

We begin where the soul of the movement lives — the Hispanic and Ibero-American tradition — and open our doors to artists from anywhere who share the same calling: the song with something inside. It's not a genre. It's a way of understanding music.

For artists with something to say

Singer-songwriters, troubadours, composers, poets who sing.

For those who want to listen

Listeners who seek lyric, intention, and story — not algorithmic filler.

No borders, deep roots

We start in Spanish and Portuguese; we grow with every language and tradition that fits the same calling.

The artist's world

A world, not a catalog

Today an artist's life lives fragmented: the music on Spotify, the voice on Instagram, the songs on Bandcamp, the fans on Patreon, the video on YouTube. Every platform keeps a piece. None gives the whole world back.

At Música Viva, every artist gets the keys to their own house — the one place where their music, their story, their voice, their community, and their moments all live under a single roof. Theirs, not ours.

Their music and their voice

Discography, singles, studio takes, unreleased versions — all one click away from the fan.

Their story and their lineage

Biography, memory, influences, the human path behind every song.

Their community and their moments

Conversations, gatherings, Mesa de Amigos, invitations to rituals few witness.

What fans receive

A piece of the song in your hands

Here you don't pay to listen. You pay to be inside — and to hold something from the artist that no one else has.

Signed lyric sheets

The lyrics of the song — the thing that matters most — printed on archival paper, signed by the artist's own hand, and numbered in a limited run. Not merchandise. A relic.

Personalized limited editions

Pieces the artist creates with your name written on them — prints, objects, keepsakes — made once and never reprinted.

Intimate moments

Invitations to private concerts, listening sessions, Mesa de Amigos, real conversations with the artist. Being in the room, not in the audience.

For artists

Your world. Your voice. Your 85%.

Spotify pays you $0.003 per stream. It rents you your own audience. It hides who your fans are. It hands you an algorithm instead of a relationship.

We give you 85% of every dollar that comes in — and with it, the rest.

The relationship is yours

You know every fan. You write to them directly. Nothing stands between you.

The narrative is yours

Your page, your design, your voice, your language. Nothing mediated by an algorithm.

The economics are yours

85% direct to the artist. Subscriptions, limited editions, events, direct support — many streams, one source: your people.

About Us

Musica Viva is an artist-centered music platform created by CEMI.ai in partnership with Jose Antonio Rodriguez. It was born from a simple reality: streaming platforms pay artists $0.003 per play. Artists can't access their fan data, don't control their presentation, and have no direct relationship with their audience.

On Musica Viva, 500 committed fans generate $27,000-$50,000/year for the artist. Each artist gets a customizable universe: music library, live stage, creative studio, fan community, and recording archive. Artists receive 85% of all revenue.
