Artists can claim an existing profile or upload their music through a distributor.
Spotify
Spotify uses third-party services that handle licensing, distribution, and royalties.
The company has a preferred list of distributors, which can be found on the app.
Examples include DistroKid, CD Baby, and EmuBands.
According to Spotify,DistroKidis the easiest way for musicians to get music into Spotify.
DistroKid doesnt take a percentage of the royalties artists keep 100%.
However, Spotify takes 30% and sets the rates per stream.
Other features include the ability to add visuals to songs and sell merch and concert tickets.
Audience segments break down where your listeners are coming from into three categories.
These tools can help artists convert passive listeners into new fans.
