Distribution
Digital and physical distribution for independent artists and labels.
We deliver your releases to the platforms, directly where we have relationships, collect what they earn, and keep a real person on your catalog. You keep 100% ownership: your masters stay yours, and each record is a one-off. Distribution is handled through our affiliated company, Smith Entertainment.
Digital Distribution
We deliver recordings and videos to the major streaming, download and social platforms worldwide, many of them through direct relationships.
Physical and Jukeboxes, Too
Streaming is not the only place your fans hear you. We also handle physical distribution to retail, and we deliver to digital jukeboxes and on-premises music systems.
If your audience is in a bar, a venue or buying physical copies, that should pay you too.
Content ID & UGC Monetization
When fans use your music in their videos, that should pay you. We register your audio with YouTube Content ID and collect from TikTok and other user-generated-content platforms.
The Song Side, Too
Distribution pays you for your recordings. Publishing pays you for your songs. We handle publishing administration, registration for digital performance, and sync licensing, so the songwriting side is covered alongside your recordings. If a sync use involves both a recording and a song, both sides have to be cleared.

Royalty Collection & Catalog Management
For Labels
Running more than one artist? Manage releases for all your artists in one place, attach your label name to releases (some stores display it), and use one label name or several if you have sub-labels or imprints.
Earnings reports can be viewed per artist or all together, and downloaded to a spreadsheet. Catalog transfers, split payments and user roles for your team work the same way they do for our artists.
We’re selective with labels, too. Send an inquiry with links to your roster’s music, what you’ve released, and what’s coming next.
How It Works
1. Send an Inquiry. Tell us about your music, what you’ve released, who you’re working with, and what’s coming next. If it’s a fit, you’ll hear from us.
2. Deliver Through the Portal. Releases and catalog are delivered and managed through our portal to streaming, download and social platforms.
3. We Collect; You Can See It. We collect what your releases earn. Royalty accounting runs through our royalty portal, where you can view statements, reporting and streaming analytics.
4. Moving to Us? We Go First. If you’re switching, we deliver your releases through us first. Once they’re live, your previous distributor takes the old copies down, so your catalog stays live in between. How switching works →
Send Us the Record
Many of the artists, labels and writers we work with came to us through someone we already know: a manager, a producer, another artist. If someone sent you our way, tell us who.
New names are welcome too. Send us what you’re working on. We review what comes in, and if it’s a fit, you’ll hear from us.
