Our vision and mission require us to commit to and hold ourselves accountable for these values, ensuring that we build a platform with positive impact on our members.

We pledge to ensure that the accessibility of our platform is inclusive, and that our community remains open to everyone.

Core Values at MusicHub:
1.) Embrace diversity and inclusion
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive platform, in which all feel a sense of belonging and empowerment, and feel able and encouraged to express their authentic selves. Everyone shall feel able to freely contribute their talents, ideas, and perspectives. Together, we can take advantage of our collective diversity, to build the best product and make the best decisions for the community that we serve, creating meaningful experiences for everyone.
What does this mean?
We strive to promote fairness and equal opportunities for all.
We are respectful of the differences between people and their circumstances.
We welcome new ideas, opinions and ways of thinking, that may be different from our own (known as cognitive diversity).
2.) Professionalism, Constructive Criticism
When voicing criticism or feedback, it should always be about the work itself - not about the creator. You are welcome to share your opinion, but this should be done in a constructive, rather than a negative, manner. While MusicHub is a “do-it-yourself platform“, our community is made up of professional musicians, and as such, communication between members should remain professional.
Always ask yourself: “would you appreciate such feedback?”
What does this mean?
Criticism such as...
“I’VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING SO BAD, WHY ARE YOU MAKING MUSIC”
“Was ne Scheiße...”
"This is awful"
...will not be tolerated!
3.) Being kind and respectful
We have a responsibility to create a kind and respectful environment.
It is important that MusicHub members feel valued and respected, and are treated fairly. Sharing, providing feedback, debating and questioning is essential, but always with kindness, respect and humor. These are core to our culture and key to our vision. This culture helps establish the openness and trust that we need to make informed decisions to build our platform and have a meaningful impact to the music industry.
