Radioly's founders started out running a handful of genre playlists as a side project, the kind of thing you tell friends about at a party. As those stations grew real, engaged listeners, independent artists started asking a different question: could Radioly help get their own music out there too?
That's the whole origin story. Radioly Stations gives listeners somewhere friendly to press play, and Radioly Distribution gives artists a straightforward way to get their music everywhere else, without the jargon or the fine print nobody reads.
Riley showed up in an early design draft with headphones and no explanation, and just sort of stuck around. These days Riley fronts the little chat assistant in the corner of every page, happy to answer the basics about Stations or Distribution any time.
If we can't explain a feature in a sentence a friend would understand, we rewrite it.
Artists keep their masters. Full stop, no fine print that says otherwise.
Playlist submissions get heard by an actual person, not just sorted by a filter.
However you show up, as a listener or an artist, Radioly's built to be the friendly version of both.
