Deezer

Deezer, a French platform with a global reach, is one of the newer streaming services but has seen huge growth in the past few years. Achieving a balance of international content and localised discovery, Deezer is one of the best music platforms for users to discover new artists - and therefore an important platform for independent artists to release music to.

New Music Discovery

Via curated editorial playlists and Deezer’s Flow feature, it’s easy for listeners to discover new music on Deezer. Flow uses an advanced AI system, similar to Spotify’s, to auto-play similar music based on listening behaviour.

Localised Content

Deezer is an international streaming platform that places emphasis on providing localised content for local users. Through partnerships with local playlist editors and more, Deezer provides an extensive catalogue of curated localised content that rivals the biggest streaming platforms.

Playlisting Opportunities

While Deezer does not support self-pitching of upcoming releases, your releases can be pitched via certain trusted partners (like Identity Music) to secure placement in popular editorial playlists. With Deezer’s emphasis on localised content and music discovery, being placed in one of their editorial playlists can be hugely beneficial for artists.
