You’ve written the music, recorded and mixed it, your artwork is ready to go and your press shots are sharp, so all you have to do now is make it available for audiences. The hard work is over...right? Choosing a distributor should be a simple step, but there might be a few more things to consider.

Firstly, what is a distributor?

A music distributor is an ‘aggregator’ that takes your music to partners such as Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer etc. They sign deals with artists or record labels and take their music to ‘stores’, meaning, they enable you to get your music on streaming services and other platforms.
