Distribution
Release everywhere. Get paid by your own fans here.
Send your music to Spotify, Apple Music and the other stores through Creator Connect, with your splits paid automatically from both pools, a person on every claim, and no takedowns for a lapsed payment.
How it works
- Upload a release on Creator Connect as usual, and turn on Also release to Spotify, Apple Music & more.
- We show you exactly what the stores need that we don't: label name, ℗ and © lines, a release date, clean/explicit per track, an AI disclosure, and a 3000 px cover.
- Verify your identity once, add a tax form, and pick the plan.
- We deliver through an independent partner. You see each store's status on the release, and you're told the moment anything needs a fix.
- Store royalties arrive 2–3 months later, split automatically among your collaborators, next to your fan-powered earnings in one dashboard.
What we promise, in plain words
- Independent from the majors, from upload to payout. Our delivery partner is not owned by a major label. We do not claim our own direct deals with the stores.
- Your music never comes down because a payment lapsed. Releases come down only for rights, fraud or legal reasons, and through a human review.
- A person reviews every claim we receive. You hear from us first, with the claimant's name and reason, and you can respond before we act, wherever the law allows.
- Fan-powered royalties on Creator Connect. 51% of each subscriber's fee goes to the artists they actually play. Everywhere else, you keep 95% of what the stores pay.
Switching from DistroKid or another distributor
Move one release at a time. Deliver through us first with the same codes and original date, confirm it linked on the store, wait a few business days, then ask your old distributor for the takedown and the YouTube Content ID release. The app keeps the timeline for you. Releases removed by a claim go to a human review before we accept them: a claim is sometimes a real rights problem, and we would rather find out with you than after a store does.

Questions
What does distribution through Creator Connect cost?
$29.99 a year. If you are moving from another distributor, $19.99 for your first year.
Which stores?
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, Deezer, TIDAL, Pandora, SoundCloud and more, through an independent delivery partner that is not owned by a major label.
What happens if my plan lapses?
Your releases stay live. We keep 15% of your store royalties until you renew, then you get the full share back. Nothing comes down because a payment lapsed.
Can I move my existing releases?
Yes. Use the same ISRCs, UPC and original release date and the stores link the new delivery to your existing release, so your play counts carry over. The app walks you through deliver-first-then-take-down so nothing goes missing.
What happens if someone claims my track?
For any claim we receive, a person reviews it and you hear from us first, with who claimed it and why, before we act. A notice sent directly to a store by a claimant bypasses us; we cannot promise process we never see.
How are store royalties paid?
Stores pay 2 to 3 months after the month of streaming. We pass through 95% (our delivery partner keeps 5%), split automatically among your collaborators according to your declared splits, and pay into the same balance as your Creator Connect earnings.
