“CD Baby allows me to focus on the music while they handle all of the back end for me. Any issues I have come across, I can immediately go to them and get it resolved. I preach CD Baby to all of my artist friends. CD Baby is BY FAR the best distribution platform with the best group of people working there!”

“CD Baby Stages has done a great job with direct pitching to the DSP’s landing my single “BAD” on multiple playlists. The single streamed 30k times on Apple Music in the first couple of days. CD Baby Stages is a great program for independent artists that are on the verge of getting to the next level.”
