thesixtyone's guiding principle is to enable the creative middle class, providing talented artists the opportunity to make a living making music. Today, we're excited to introduce an online marketplace for supporting your favorite music on thesixtyone.

On thesixtyone, artists sell their music directly to their fans. Unlike a record or distribution deal where they only make $1-2 per album (if they ever get paid, that is), artists on thesixtyone make at least $7 per album and are paid every 30 days -- no wait for recoupment and no complex royalty schemes!

Songs or albums can be purchased via the 'download' link. The bazaar's open for all artists. Here's a rundown of some of the artists available today (check back, this list will grow).
