Hi Danny! Nice to have you here. I remember the confusion when I joined up. It will all come together, glad you're curious. As far as signing up for Wavlake, I think the FAQ would be a great place to start. Check out the I’m an artist. How do I get started? section: https://wavlake.notion.site/Wavlake-Guide-e560557ae4ba4e06ac20c06fb33556a3.
Also Fountain has a getting started guide as well: https://support.fountain.fm/article/110-how-do-i-add-my-music-to-fountain.
These aren't the only places to host your music either, there's also LNBeats: https://lnbeats.com/.
With regards to your LIghtning Wallet, there are two ways: 1) Non-Custodial meaning you have some hardware where you host your Lightning services or 2) Custodial - where someone else hosts your Lightning services. Alby is Non-custodial, meaning if you have an old PC or a server you can install the Lightning services, open your own channel and run things yourself. They also have an Alby Cloud version, which is still non-custodial, but they take care of all the heavy lifting, you still have to fund your channel and it has a small fee taken out of your wallet for the services each month This is the end goal, eventually.
But for now, a great place to start is as what Patrick said below. Choose a Custodial wallet like Minibits, CoinOS or Lifpay. You can fund your Lightning wallet by offering goods or services or using exchanges (River, CashApp, Strike just to name a few). But you'll definitely want to continue your research. There are a ton of great resources out there, but it's worth the effort. BTCsessions (nprofile…0ajg) offers really great tutorials to get you started on your way to self-sovereignty!
