A music link in bio for artists, made for music
Generic link-in-bio tools were built for everyone. Gatefolded was built for one job: your music.
7-day free trial · No credit card required · $49/year afterA music link in bio is the single URL you put in your Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube profiles. It’s where new listeners go after seeing one of your videos. The job is simple: turn that visit into a play. Generic tools (Linktree, Beacons, Koji) treat the URL as a launchpad to other apps — every link is a redirect away from you.
Gatefolded treats the URL as the destination. Fans land on a page that’s already playing your music, with lyrics, credits, streaming and tip links, and an email signup. They listen first; they click out second.

When does a music link in bio matter?
You’re running ads or releasing a single
Every cent of paid traffic and every TikTok view ends at one URL. If that URL is a list of buttons, you’ve built a redirect funnel. If it’s a music page, you’ve built a relationship.
You want to grow an email list, not a follower count
Algorithm-owned audiences disappear. A list you exported to a CSV is yours forever. Gatefolded ships a fan email signup on every page — Linktree paywalls it.
You release new music regularly
Drop a new single and it’s the first thing on your page — playing inline, with the artwork and the streaming buttons right there. No editing a list of links every release.
You collaborate or run multiple projects
Producers, side projects, alter egos — link multiple artists to one page so fans see everything you’ve made under one roof.
What you get
- A music page that plays your tracks inline — no redirect to Spotify or Apple
- Lyrics, credits, and streaming links for every song you release
- Custom domain on every plan — your URL, not a /yourname slug
- Fan email collection and tip jar built in, no add-ons
- One subscription covers multiple artists, side projects, or band members
Make your link in bio the destination.
A music page, not a list of links.
