wearecoral is a platform designed to nurture music and culture through direct contributions from users like you. The platform allows you to build corals. A coral is your personal collection of artists you back with a recurring voluntary contribution. Each month as the coral is processed, the contribution is distributed to the Nominated Artists as per the terms of this agreement. Our collective contributions give artists the ability to prioritise creating music.
