What offtheave is
offtheave is a social music platform for independent artists and their fans. Every genre is welcome, from any artist, wherever they release. Artists upload songs, mixtapes, beats and videos, sell their work, and build a following in one place.
It started in 2006 as a forum and has been rebuilt several times since. The current version, OTAv5, arrived in 2026, the site's 20th year, with a new player, Creator Studio analytics, Stripe checkout and XP rewards.
