The revenue share model is simple: the artist does not pay in advance, and the commission is retained only after platform income appears.
The commission depends on the workload, number of releases, release preparation, pitching needs and post-release support.
There is no annual subscription or upfront upload fee. Revenue is split after platform reports are received.
The artist keeps authorship and control of the music unless different terms are agreed in a separate contract.
After reports arrive, we process statistics, confirm the royalty amount and pay according to the agreed terms.
To release music correctly, we check the materials before sending them to platforms.
You send a demo or final release, cover art, artist name, tracklist, author data and preferred release date.
We review the materials and clarify rights, release format, language, genre, explicit tags and platform requirements.
After terms are approved, we prepare metadata, ISRC/UPC codes, release description, publication date and delivery to streaming services.
The release passes platform moderation and appears on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and other services.
After release, you receive promo links; after the reporting period, you receive information about streams, revenue and royalty payout.
