SpinBard

Music isn’t just something we listen to—it’s the soundtrack of our lives, capturing our most important moments. But in today’s world, the connection to those memories is fading.

Fans crave more —they want to remember those special music moments with something both physical and digital to relate to both worlds. At the same time, artists are looking for new, sustainable ways to connect with their audience and generate income.

That’s where SpinBard comes in. We bridge the gap between physical and digital music experiences with collectible cards tied to exclusive digital content. Fans can collect these cards at events, gigs, or online, and when scanned, they unlock a digital space where they can store their music memories—photos, videos, and more. These memories can be pre-loaded from specific gigs the fan attended, and added to with more personal content. 

Think of it as a cross between collecting ticket stubs linked to a digital music memory box.
