Your music. Your price. Paid in birr.
Zemeromo is where Ethiopian worship artists publish, sell and share their music, and are paid for it.
Built around the artist
What you keep
You keep the price of every sale minus a small platform fee. The fee and the minimum payout are shown in the Studio before you publish or request money.
Prepaid cards for events
Print cards for your concerts and conferences. Each card gives one buyer your album, with no bank card needed.
Protected from leaks
Paid music only streams to people who own it. If a leak is reported, we take the copy down quickly.
Payouts you can follow
Payouts go to Telebirr or CBE Birr. Every transfer is recorded with its reference, so you see what was paid and when.
Everything in the app, nothing extra to install
Upload, sell and follow your earnings from the same app your listeners use.
Upload in minutes
Add the audio, the cover and the lyrics from your phone. We prepare each song for streaming and offline listening, and tell you when it is live.
Sell albums and print cards
Create a batch of cards for an album, print them and sell them at your next concert. Each code works once and is tracked in your Studio.
See your earnings, get paid
Every sale and card shows up as it happens. Request a payout when you reach the minimum and it goes to your Telebirr or CBE Birr account.
A worked example
Request a payout from Earnings; it is sent to your Telebirr or CBE Birr account and recorded with its reference.

Three checks that protect you
They keep fake accounts from publishing in your name and make sure your money reaches you.
Phone code
We text a code to your phone when you apply, so we know a real person is behind the account.
Application review
A person reads every application and listens to your music before your Studio opens.
ID check before payouts
Before the first payout, a quick ID check confirms the money goes to you.
Artists often ask
Who can apply?
Ethiopian worship and gospel artists, choirs and ministries, inside Ethiopia or abroad, who own or have the right to publish their music.
Can I make songs free?
Yes. Each song or album can be free or paid; you choose the price in birr.
What if my music leaks?
Report it from the app or the Contact page. We take copies down and help you find where they came from.
How long does a payout take?
Payouts are reviewed and sent to Telebirr or CBE Birr; the Studio shows each request's status and reference.
Do I need a computer?
No. Everything, from uploading to payouts, works from the app on your phone.
