Built by a touring musician
About the Creator
Built by Grayson Erhard
I'm a full-time touring musician with over a decade of experience in software development. I started building this project when I switched to music full-time because the other tools simply didn't do everything I needed. I only have so many gigs each month, and maximizing my earnings at each one makes a massive difference. Since using this platform, I've reliably multiplied my tip income by 10x. I also no longer have to pull my hair out dealing with the inefficiencies of managing my repertoire across musical projects, charts, and setlists. Tipelodeon is the tool I wish I'd had from day one.
What the Audience is Saying.
Audiences love how easy, interactive, and fun the request experience feels.
"It's like having a jukebox with a real person."
"I love how I don't even have to get up from my seat to request songs."
"I love that I can hear my song faster and the musician earns more. It's a win-win!"

How Tipelodeon Makes Money
When an audience member tips you digitally, they pay a flat $2 platform fee on top of the tip — that’s our entire business model. The fee covers payment processing, hosting, and ongoing development. You keep the full tip amount, every time. Cash tips you log through Tipelodeon carry no fee at all.

AI Handles the Tedious Parts

- With decent internet speeds, you can upload 200 charts and get to a setup with full metadata enrichment within 10 minutes.
- We'd rather play music. Nobody wants to spend their time managing files, copying/pasting data, and setting up an app.
