How do I apply as an independent artist?+
Create your account and verify your email, then choose Artist in your music profile. Submit your channel link and catalogue details for review. After profile approval, complete KYC and your agreement before preparing your first release. Use the Spotify release guide to plan your first release.
How does music distribution work for record labels?+
Create an account and verify your email, then select Record label in your music profile. After profile approval, complete KYC and your agreement. Once activated, manage releases, check delivery status, view analytics and request eligible wallet payments. Compare the label allowances and features before choosing a plan, and read our record-label distribution guide.
How do I compare music distribution platforms?+
Compare supported stores, revenue share, plan fees, label limits, reporting and support. Check release review, Content ID eligibility and exit terms as well. Our music distributor selection guide gives you a checklist for comparing providers. Use the distribution cost guide to understand subscription fees and revenue share.
Which services are included in my plan?+
Inclusions, revenue share, label limits and support options vary by plan. Check the current pricing page and confirm any additional service or charge with the team before applying.
Do you offer multi-label and distributor access?+
Yes. Create an account, then describe your business, labels and catalogue in your music profile. Choose Producer / distributor for a distribution business. Our team reviews the profile and confirms your account setup and applicable plan.
How do account types and plans differ?+
Your account type describes the work you do: artist, record label, multi-label business, distributor or music producer. Your plan sets the label limit, revenue share, included services and support. Choosing Distributor on the form does not automatically activate Enterprise or white-label access. Compare plan features and confirm the setup with our team.
What should a label or distributor include when applying?+
After verifying your email, provide your phone number, YouTube or primary channel link, catalogue size and current distributor. Explain your content ownership, labels and release plans in the profile description. Complete KYC only after initial profile approval. Read the application guide.
Do you offer white-label music distribution in India?+
Yes. Our Enterprise plan includes a white-label distribution solution, custom branding and a custom domain for music businesses. Explore our white-label music distribution service and share your catalogue and branding requirements through the contact page. Your quote confirms pricing, setup, service scope and applicable terms before you proceed.
Can a song be distributed without Content ID?+
Distribution and Content ID are separate services. A recording may qualify for streaming delivery while being ineligible for Content ID. You still need the necessary rights and licences to distribute your music.
Does pitching guarantee a playlist placement?+
No. Pitching submits eligible music for consideration. Playlist editors decide what to include, and neither placement nor a number of streams can be promised.
How early should I prepare my release?+
Allow time for account approval, release review, corrections and platform processing. Tell us your intended release date before submitting; timing depends on your release and the receiving platforms.
