Have you been releasing music on YouTube or Soundcloud but now your wondering
What’s the best way to get my music on Spotify or Apple Music?
In this video, I’m going to explain how you can distribute your music to all the major music streaming platforms, and why DistroKid is a great choice to do that.
But first What is DistroKid?
DistroKid is a Music Distributor.
They are a digital music distribution service that musicians use to put their music into online stores & streaming services.
These include iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, Tidal, and many more.
As people listen to your music, DistroKid collects earnings & payments, and sends 100% of these earnings to artists, minus banking fees/applicable taxes.
The upload process is just super simple, which I’m going to lay out in full in another video.
Once your music is uploaded you have full control over your release date and time.
There’s also tonnes of ways to enhance your fan’s listening experience like:
Synced Lyrics which allows for that sing-along karaoke style lyric roll, or with:
Spotify Canvas, and the Spotify Canvas Generator, to create a custom looping video to accompany your song. DistroKid has a generator to easily create looping video ideas for your song.
It’s also easy to setup revenue splits between collaborators with DistroKid Splits. Simply include the name, email, and revenue percentage of each collaborator and DistroKid will do the rest.
I really enjoy using DistroKid, I appreciate the marketing and promo tools they provide, and I found that I had more control over my music than I did with other distributors.
On this channel, I occasionally feature music that I’ve recorded with the artist permission.
But some of those videos have been flagged by the distributor and even the artist who has uploaded the music was unable to repeal the claim.
This doesn’t happen with DistroKid, because you can easily add YouTube Channels to an Allowlist to use your music with your permission.
DistroKid works fast and reliably, and they provide great tools so you’re always in control of your music.
DistroKid offers an easy-to-navigate user interface that’s both clean and simple.
Their exceptional support team ensures a smooth experience.
I think you will be pleased by their service, and their annual pricing model is the most affordable on the market, while also allowing you unlimited uploads.
Even the founder of their competitor has stated:
“This is simply the best model for artists to release their music, retain their rights and get paid.”
DistroKid is heavily featured on this channel because this is the distributor that I use.
I wholeheartedly endorse the quality of their services and extend an invitation for you to sign up with DistroKid and start releasing music today.

I’ve been in the midst of construction on a new studio build the last couple months, and I’m eager to share all of that with you in the future.
Thank you so much for watching, and I’ll see you in the next video!
