How do I start a collaboration?
Paths that lead into a Hive and Session.
3 August 2026
Pick a path
You can start a collaboration in any of these ways:
- Discover: find a creator, open their profile, then start a Session (optionally under a Hive).
- Brief: post what you need, review Interest, shortlist people, then open a Session.
- Craft: book someone’s listed skill, or list your own, then continue in a Session.
- Hive: create or open a Hive, invite members, then start Sessions from that Hive.
Do I need a Brief?
No. If you already know who you want to work with, open a Session (from a Hive or on its own).
Use a Brief when you have a clear need and want creator Interest before you decide.
After the Session opens
Inside the Session:
- Invite everyone who needs access.
- Upload the current demo or reference.
- Add lyrics and notes so decisions stay with the song.
- Assign roles so each person knows what they own.
- Lock a role when that person’s work for this song is complete.
