To ensure STRUT VIP provides the highest level of support to artists ready to take the next step in their careers, membership is open to artists who meet the following criteria:

• Music Releases: Must have released at least two professionally recorded songs on DSPs (Digital Service Providers) such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music.

• Live Performance Experience: Must have performed live with a full band at least twice within the past year.

STRUT VIP is designed for emerging artists who are actively building their careers and seeking access to industry expertise, strategic support, and key professional services. If you meet the criteria and are ready to elevate your music journey, we encourage you to sign up today!

If you have any questions about the membership criteria, please contact membership@strutentertainment.com.

STRUT VIP is geared toward both emerging and more established artists. The beauty of the credit redemption system is that you can choose what sessions are most relevant to you at the current stage in your career.

For example an emerging artist or band might want to use credits for an A&R consult to help them hone in on the right songs and sound, and a more mid career artist might prefer to dive into a session on DSP artist best practices to ensure they're maximizing potential opportunities when the release music.

• Please designate one band member/ email to be the main contact for your STRUT VIP account

• For group sessions, one member may attend

• For one-on-one sessions the whole band may attend

We know you need to manage your time and your money. We want to keep the yearly cost and amount of benefits received manageable for independent artists, and that's why we offer 8 credits to STRUT VIP members per year.

All sessions and resources you can redeem STRUT VIP credits for are 1-2 credits each. Therefore, with 8 credits you can redeem for 4-8 sessions, services, or resources every year, which is great value and hopefully a manageable amount for most independent artists.

You also receive members benefits and perks which add significant additional value.

If you need more, you can access our STRUT VIP preferred rate from Strut Entertainment and its valued industry partners. The discount with Strut is 20% for public relations or project management services (subject to Strut’s discretion and availability). For additional details on the special consultant rate for STRUT VIP members click here.

To do so simply:

- go to the Manage Account section of the website and login with your email and password

- Click "renew, upgrade or update billing"

- Click "Cancel My Membership"

- Click "Save" button

Keep in mind you will immediately lose access to your Strut VIP credits and member perks, so you should only cancel your membership if you're ok with that taking effect immediately.

We'd also love to hear from you on why you're not renewing your membership so we can keep improving our offerings.

You can cancel your membership at any time, but if you cancel it before your year is up and you have any remaining credits, you will forfeit those. You will also immediately lose access to your additional member benefits and perks.

If there are extenuating circumstances, please get in touch with us at membership@strutentertainment.com.

We do our best to answer all inquiries as promptly as possible, and aim to get back to you within two business days.

Yes, there's a special STRUT VIP members-only rate for services from Strut Entertainment (for public relations and project management services) and its trusted industry partners!

The discount on Strut Entertainment PR and Project Management services is 20% and is offered to VIP members as a perk, BUT being able to activate those services is at Strut’s discretion and based on our availability to take on additional work at the time the member needs it. Since we’re a small team, we simply don’t have the bandwidth to take on every VIP member for PR or project management even if you're able to give ample notice. We are happy to refer members to other service providers in our trusted circle in the event we are not able to take on their campaign.

The details of the VIP member discounts available from Strut Entertainment and consultants are on the Benefits & Perks page, click here to view.

First of all we recommend you try a password reset.

If that doesn't work, please contacts us at membership@strutentertainment.com detailing your issue and we'll get in touch as soon as we can (within two business days). If you're experiencing a particular error or issue, it's very helpful if you can provide screen grabs.

Depending on the issue, we may ask for a time that we can call you to try and help and resolve the issue.
