How it works
Live on Ziki in three steps
- 1
Create your free account
Sign up with email or Google and set up your artist profile with a photo and your links.
- 2
Upload your track
Drop in your MP3. We read the title, genre and artwork from the file, so it takes a couple of minutes.
- 3
Share one link
Send your Ziki link on WhatsApp, Instagram or TikTok. Fans listen free, no app or account needed.
Get paid
Sell your songs and beats. Get paid to M-PESA.
Put a price on any track and it shows up in the Ziki Marketplace. Fans and artists pay with M-PESA or card, download straight away, and get a clear licence: personal use for songs, a non-exclusive recording licence for beats.
Your earnings build up in your account and are paid out to your M-PESA number.
Everything you need

Your music stays yours
You keep ownership of everything you upload and can edit or remove it any time. Ziki only needs your permission to stream it and, if you choose, sell it. Only upload music you have the rights to: no uncleared samples, covers or other people's tracks. If AI helped make a track, tick the "AI-assisted" box so listeners know. Read the Terms for the details.
