<![CDATA[The advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed the music industry, particularly in the interactions between musicians and their fans. One emerging platform, Stationhead, is an audio streaming application that enables users to host live digital radio broadcasts. This study aims to examine how the fanbase of Salma Salsabil (Salmine) utilizes Stationhead as a medium for communication and a new digital sphere. Employing a virtual ethnography method with a descriptive approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires from 236 active fanbase members who use the application, as well as interviews with three administrators and seven members of the Salmine fanbase. The findings reveal that Stationhead provides a platform for fans to engage in more direct and intimate interactions with musicians through live broadcast sessions, storytelling, and promotional support activities. The application allows fans not only to act as passive consumers but also as active cultural producers, crafting narratives and strengthening emotional bonds with the artist. Furthermore, Stationhead fosters solidarity among fanbase members, encourages more personal communication, and promotes collective activities such as streaming parties.
