To start — which are you?
Pick a community. Whoever you choose, your money funds a real check-in for someone who needs one — and if they don't need it right now, it flows to someone who does.
You're not buying anything, and this isn't about streaming. You're funding real, human check-ins for fellow River Vale fans going through a hard stretch — delivered by a trained person, free to them.
Every $25 funds one real check-in.
Every dollar reaches a real person who needs a check-in — starting with River Vale's own fans, and flowing onward only as far as it must so nothing waits.
Encrypted. Apple Pay & Google Pay at launch. You're only ever charged for check-ins we can deliver.
6 River Vale fans will get a real, human check-in this month — in your name. River Vale and the community can see you showed up.
Someone your River Vale circle has reached — sharing his story with permission.
This is who your 6 check-ins are for.
A trained person reaches out to see how you're doing — warmly, on a schedule, before anything's wrong. Free. Private. A real human, never a bot, and never a clinician pretending otherwise.
Optional. Name an artist and we can connect you to their circle — but you'll get a check-in either way. This never changes whether you're supported.
Optional — it just helps us connect you with the right person. Check any that fit, or skip it.
Someone already funded this, so there's a real check-in waiting — you're not on a waitlist. A trained person will reach out within a few days.
Right now, no check-in is funded and open in your area — so we won't pretend one is on the way. Here's exactly where you stand.
Expect a first check-in within a few days. You can pause or stop anytime — this is always yours to control.
Give your fans a place to support one another — funding real check-ins for the ones going through a hard stretch, in your name.
In plain terms, so there are no surprises:
Their Circle of Support is live in your name — nothing else changes for you.
Share songs for Happy Music to feature across the app — playlists, discovery, a wider audience. The listeners your music brings in are the ones who fund check-ins. This is about reach, not your royalties.
Pick the songs Happy Music can feature and play across the app. Any that feel right.
Two things, both stated plainly — and both about reach, not money:
Your music is reaching new listeners across Happy Music — and the fans it brings in are showing up to fund check-ins for people who need them. Everything you make next stays 100% yours.
These musicians opened a Circle of Support — a place for the people who love their music to fund real check-ins for one another. Explore and back a circle.
Featured artists have partnered with Happy Music. Others appear only where their own fans name them.
Direct a share of one song's royalties to check-ins — set once where your royalties are already paid, so the money never reaches your account in the first place. No checkbook, no transfers. You keep every right to your songs; this moves money, not music.
This is how we set the direction up at the source — so you never have to move the money yourself.
A rough estimate for Holding Pattern, through July 2027. Adjust the plays if you know them better.
One setup at the source, then it runs on its own. For DistroKid, it's a split you add to Holding Pattern — we'll walk you through it.
A share of "Holding Pattern" now goes straight to check-ins as it's paid out, through July 2027. You never see the money move — you'll just watch it land in your circle. Everything you make next stays 100% yours.
No fine print games. Here's exactly what your money does — and what it doesn't.
Commit an amount, and it's released into check-ins as River Vale's community listens together — you only ever fund what their listening unlocks, up to your cap.
Plainly, so there's no surprise: your $500 turns into check-ins as the community listens, and stops the moment it's fully released.
As River Vale's community listens, your match turns their plays into real check-ins — up to your $500 cap. You'll watch it release in the circle.
Grantmakers, sponsors, employers, and health plans can fund real check-ins for the people they serve — carrying Happy's clinical, privacy, and compliance posture.
Institutional funding is set up with a person, not a checkout — so the agreement, restriction, and reporting fit how you work. Tell us where to reach you.
Someone from Happy Music will reach out within a couple of days to shape the funding, restriction, and reporting with you.
