Music Distribution

From a single upload to every major streaming service in the world. Distribution is how music travels from the studio to the listener.

How distribution works

A distributor is the bridge between an artist and the platforms. Deliver the audio, artwork and metadata once, and the release goes live on streaming services, social apps and digital stores worldwide.

  • Upload

    Submit the audio, artwork and release details as one package.

  • Delivery

    The release is delivered to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and more.

  • Play

    Listeners around the world stream, share and playlist the music.

  • Reporting

    Streams and revenue are collected and reported back to the artist.

Why distribution matters

Without distribution, music stays in the studio. A great distributor keeps releases consistent with accurate metadata, on-time delivery and transparent reporting, so the artist can focus on creating.

For an independent artist like Finn Laus Petersen, distribution is the foundation for reaching the world.
