Global Music Distribution

Your music will be on Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram Stories, YouTube, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer, Facebook, and 150+ other platforms around the world. Keep ALL your rights. Get paid WEEKLY!

Music Marketing Tools

Included with your account is free access to Show.co — the same music marketing tools used by major artists like Maroon 5, Tove Lo, Santana, and Oasis — so your music can go further.

Worldwide Monetization

Plus, you'll be set up to earn additional music money beyond streaming income, including sync licensing fees, video monetization revenue, and — with CD Baby Pro — global publishing royalties.

Build a catalog of music without a lifetime of yearly fees.

We charge a ONE-TIME fee per release with NO annual fees. We keep just 9% of your digital distribution revenue and you get the remaining 91%. This structure incentivizes us to keep finding opportunities for ALL your music, not just your newest single.

It also means you won't pay a growing bill every year just to keep your music available online. Beyond our initial setup fee, we only make money when you do, so you can continue to release music worry-free.

UPC

A UPC is required to distribute each submission. That’s because every digital platform reports your numbers to Nielsen SoundScan using the UPC. If you don’t have one, you can get a UPC from us for just $20 per album or $5 per single.
