A Demo Pitch That Looks the Part
They Press Play, Not Download
The label or A&R streams full tracks the second they open your link — no attachments, no WeTransfer wait, no account to create.
Private, Not Public
Your demo isn't on Spotify and it isn't fed to an algorithm. Password protection, email allowlists, and expiring links keep it to the people you choose.
Know If They Listened
An alert tells you when someone unlocks your protected link, and analytics show which tracks were played and how far listeners got. Follow up at the right moment.
Send Your First Demo in 3 Steps
Upload your tracks
Drag and drop MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A or OGG. Add artwork, credits, and lyrics so it looks like a real release.
Lock it down
Add a password or email allowlist, set an expiry, and decide whether downloads are allowed.
Send one link
Paste it into your pitch email or DM. The label clicks once and streams — no attachments, no friction.
Artists Use It to Pitch
“There was just no reasonable option for private, exclusive streaming before Gatefolded. It’s easy, looks good, and gives listeners a deluxe experience of an artist’s work.”
“I want to share new songs, but I want more control than just texting a SoundCloud link.”

FAQ
Does the label or A&R need an account?
No. They click your link and stream every track in the browser. No signup, no login, no app, nothing to download.
How is this better than a WeTransfer or Dropbox link?
WeTransfer and Dropbox are built to move files. Both can preview audio (Dropbox for paid accounts), but what the recipient gets is a file preview, not a release page with your artwork, credits and lyrics. A free WeTransfer transfer lasts up to 3 days (longer needs Ultimate), and Dropbox needs a higher paid plan to set a link expiry at all. Gatefolded plays instantly in the browser with all of that right there, and you can limit plays and set when the link expires. It looks like a release, not a folder.
Is my music public or on Spotify?
No. Your demo link is private — not public, not indexed, not on any DSP, and never fed to an algorithm. Only the people you send it to can hear it.
Can I control who listens and for how long?
Yes. Add password protection, restrict by email, set links to expire after a date or a number of plays, and block downloads. You can revoke access anytime.
Will I know if they actually listened?
Yes. You get an alert when someone unlocks a protected link (with their email, if the link is invite-only), and analytics show which tracks were played and how far listeners got.
Can I send beats and works in progress too?
Absolutely. Producers use it to send beats to labels and artists, with download controls and play limits so your work stays protected.
