Symphonic Partners with HIO

Here’s How HIO Works

HIO is building a full-catalog streaming service around a simple but powerful idea: artists should be able to connect directly with the people listening to their music. While some traditional DSPs keep listener data locked away, HIO gives artists tools to actually understand, engage, and build relationships with their fans, all in one place.

On HIO, artists earn 100% of subscription streaming revenue, turning streams into a meaningful income source rather than fractions of a penny. The platform also includes built-in commerce tools that allow artists to sell merch, tickets, and exclusives directly to fans, with HIO taking just 15% of commerce transactions. Think of it as a fan-first streaming platform where music, community, and monetization finally work together.

HIO is already live with thousands of early users and is backed by respected independent labels like Merge and Epitaph, creating a growing ecosystem built around artist sustainability and fan engagement.
