Early access · the first circle is forming

A room where their songs are safe, and the right people find them.

Cut is a private, consent-first discovery room for Nashville songwriters and the people searching for their next song. Vetted on both sides. Matched on fit, never ranked by worth.

The lines we never cross

Four promises, enforced in the architecture.

Consent-first

Nothing is public. You choose who finds your work, and pull it back anytime.

No pay-to-play

Money buys access and tools, never a higher place in the room.

You own it

Your songs, your contacts, your catalog. A room, not a rights-holder.

Transparent to you

Every listen logged for the writer. You see who looked, and when.

How it works

Two sides. One room. The writer decides.

For writers
Heard without being given away.
1

Request to join

We read every request ourselves. No bots, no scoring. If it's a fit, an invitation lands in your email.

2

Add a song, with June

Describe it in your own words. June turns that into the tags buyers actually search, and you confirm every word. Then you set exactly who can find it.

3

Approve who reaches you

Interest arrives as a request. A yes opens a conversation, in the room, on your terms. A no costs you nothing and reveals nothing.

Real songs. Real writers. No noise.
1

Request a seat

Every seat is vetted by hand. The room stays small enough to be worth being in.

2

Describe what you need

Plain words, not filters. The room returns vetted songs that fit, and tells you why each one made the cut.

3

Ask for an intro

The writer decides. When they say yes, the conversation opens right here, and you found your song before anyone else did.

A working preview

Describe the song you’re hearing. The room answers.

This is a live sample of the search experience, running on a small preview catalog. The real room opens with the first circle.

uptempo pop-country for a small-town anthem…
Long Way Down
Hannah Boone · mid-tempo country
Why it fits: anthemic build, road imagery, hometown pride without the cliché.
Front Porch Light
The Hartwells · country
Why it fits: warm, hopeful, a congregational lift in the final chorus.
◆ Matched on fit, never ranked by worth. Every song carries the writer who made it.

The companion

June is the advocate inside the room.

A quiet presence who helps writers describe their work in their own words, and helps the right people find it. She works for the writer, never the platform, and the writer always confirms.

June only ever uses what you type. Your audio is never analyzed, never retained, never used to train anything.
Who’s behind the room

I built the room I wished existed, and I put my name on it. No crowd promised, no testimonials invented. Just the standard underneath.

You choose who finds it, and pull it back in a single tap. Nothing is ever public.
No rank, no boost, no placement to purchase anywhere in Cut. Fit is the only thing that orders the room.
We never sell your data, and a buyer never reaches you until you open the door. The conversation lives here.
Every listen is logged for you, who looked and when. Transparency runs to the writer, never away.

The first circle

We’re opening the room slowly, on purpose.

Cut begins as a small, invitation-only room: a first circle of Nashville writers and a handful of trusted industry people. We’re growing it by hand and by referral, so it stays small enough to be worth being in. The right people, vetted on both sides, and a room that grows at the speed of trust.

For writers

Your work deserves to be heard without being given away. It's free, always, and you decide who ever hears your songs.
