IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Today, we share the news that NEWM is closing its doors. While this is a difficult end to our operations as a company, we don't see this as a total end to the work needed in the music industry.
Our goal was always to prove what was possible for the future of music, and we’ve poured our hearts and souls into it over the past 4+ years.
Despite our dedicated efforts, we are unfortunately unable to continue operations in our current form. This is due to current market dynamics and the funding required to scale a project of this nature. Although we continue to explore potential funding opportunities, we felt it would be inauthentic to proceed with ‘business as usual’ given the circumstances.
We are now focused on a responsible and orderly wind-down during this sunset process. Please head to the link below to read our full official statement, along with key dates, actions and a special note to the Cardano Community.
As an artist-first platform, we are prioritizing ensuring that all our artists get the support they need to migrate their music before the March 31st, 2026 deadline. Migration action plans, support contacts and FAQs are included in the official statement.
To the artists who trusted us and the community that fueled us: Thank you. 🤍

🚨Final 24 Hours Notice
Tomorrow, NEWM Studio goes offline. If your music is still on the platform, you must migrate and request takedown now. Any remaining music will be forcibly removed from streaming services on March 31.
We set out to build something better for artists – more ownership, more transparency, a fairer share.
While this didn’t work out as we envisioned, we believe the foundation we built matters, and we hope others build on it to create the industry artists truly deserve🖤

An open letter was published this week titled "SAY NO TO SUNO".
It's from the Music Artists Coalition, the European Composer and Songwriter Alliance, and more.
They call Suno a "brazen 'smash and grab' platform", saying it "appropriates and plunders [...] creative work while undermining the commercial ecosystem for artists".
"Suno built its business on our backs, scraping the world’s cultural output without permission, then competing against the very works exploited."
"We in the arts must rise to confront those who would 'smash-and-grab' our creativity for their own benefit."
