Viacom’s MTV is creating artist-focused websites where musicians can sell songs, concert tickets and merchandise.

Starting in May, MTV will allow musicians to claim their sites, allowing them to upload music, videos and photos, and to sync pages with social-media accounts. The pages will go public in September.

Viacom fell less than 1 percent to close at $47.10. The stock has climbed 3.7 percent this year.
