Why Artists Need Distribution Services

For music creators, working with a music distributor is essential to building an audience, increasing credibility, and creating a regular revenue stream for your music. Whether you’re a brand new musician or an established billboard charting artist, you NEED distribution to connect your music to listeners and future fans. Here’s the full breakdown of why:

Earn money: Any time your music plays on a platform like Spotify or Apple Music, you earn streaming royalties per play. Distribution services seamlessly collect these royalties for you and ensure your payout reaches your pocket.

Establish credibility: When you distribute your music to digital streaming platforms, you also build your online presence and artist profiles. ALL credible and established artists have artist profiles on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music – you should too!

Build a Fan Base: Content creation apps like TikTok have pushed smaller artists into the global spotlight. When your music is used in content, that piece is potentially played by millions of people. Hello, new fans. 

Gain Streaming Info + Listener Data: Access data that tells you where your listeners are, what they’re streaming, and how long they’re streaming a song.
