Backline
Four steps · Under a minute

Texts from your favorite artists — how.

No app to download. No feed to scroll. Backline is a direct line on WhatsApp, opened by the artist, kept warm by the people who actually listen.

Messages, demos, presale codes, soundchecks, late-night voice memos. They come to you — not to a feed.

What you get

Made for fans who actually text back.

The actual artist

Not a manager. Not a chatbot. The texts are from the person whose name is on the record.

Presale codes that work

Codes get auto-dropped to your number before the public on-sale. No bot races.

We never share, never resell, never spam. You leave the list with one swipe.

It's WhatsApp. Mute the chat, mark as read, reply with an emoji. Like any friend.

Questions

Things people ask before they join.

Is this just a newsletter?+

No. It's a private WhatsApp inbox the artist posts to directly. You read it where you read your friends.

Will the artist actually see my reply?+

Yes — most artists read replies. Whether they reply back is up to them, but you're not yelling into a feed.

What if I want to leave?+

Cancel from your dashboard. Your number is removed from the list within minutes.

Do you sell my data?+

Never. We don't run ads, we don't share your number, and we don't tell artists who else is on the list.
