“People have great talent and great taste, now, they need great options” - Daniel Warren, Managing Director
Identity Music was created in 2019 with one goal: To bring a client-focused music distribution service to the table. The music industry is saturated with large distributors that place customer service on the back-burner. Here at Identity our clients are our top priority.
That’s why Identity was founded on an innovative model that excludes charging excessive and unnecessary fees for distribution and promotion. We focus on bringing a personalised music distribution service that is built around our client needs, not our own.
We believe that the best way to sell music online is through a team, and a company, that works alongside you.
We are extremely passionate about helping people and proud of our efficient client support system and team. We have a dedicated front of house support team who are available to support artists and labels with any needs.
