Global reach for
your music

While it’s possible to upload music yourself to some platforms, like SoundCloud and Bandcamp, many of the world’s largest music platforms require you to work with a trusted distribution partner, like us at Identity Music, to release your music. 

Working with a music distributor is the only way to get your music live on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.

At Identity Music, we’re partnered with over 80 global streaming platforms - which means, in just a few clicks, you can release your music to millions of listeners worldwide.

From the major streaming players, like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, & YouTube, to social media platforms, like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, & WhatsApp, to more niche platforms, like Qobuz, ROKK, Tencent, & Anghami - we’ll distribute your music to platforms that reach global fans.

If there’s a platform we don’t currently distribute to, it’s likely we’re already working to secure a partnership with it - keep checking our distribution partners here for updates!

As an invite-only music distributor, we work with selected independent artists and record labels on a royalty-share basis that suits your needs.

Our A&R team will discuss a bespoke distribution agreement with you before you start distributing your music with us. You’ll always keep the lion’s share of your revenue and be the first to earn.

To get started with distributing, promoting and protecting your music with a tailored royalty-share agreement, send us your application!

Your streaming royalties are paid out to you via PayPal (recommended for security reasons!) each month. Within 45 days of the end of the month, your streaming revenue will be paid to you - so long as it’s over our payout threshold of $50 USD.

You can track your royalties balance in your distribution dashboard at any time - and we’re always on hand to answer any royalties queries too.

The number one way to get more streams is to build up your fan base! Whether that’s reaching new fans through being discovered (in editorial playlists, via Discovery Mode, or on social media) or building deeper relationships with your existing fans - the more engaged your fans are, the more they’ll choose to listen to your music.

We support our independent artists & record labels with marketing & promotional efforts, including playlist pitching, Discovery Mode and social media support, all of which will help you on your journey to increasing your music revenue and achieving your goals.

One thing you shouldn’t ever do is pay for streams. Using a third-party service that promises ‘legitimate’ or ‘organic’ streams of your music goes against the terms of service of every streaming platform - and is almost always not legitimate streams. Artificial streaming (using bots to stream tracks) can get your music fined, taken down from platforms, or banned completely. 

You can learn more about the dangers of artificial streaming here.

None at all! Unlike other music distributors, we don’t charge any extra or take any extra cuts of your revenue for things like YouTube Content ID, Spotify Discovery Mode, track splits or promotional support.

We believe you should always take home the lion’s share of your royalties revenue & not be surprised by hidden charges or extra costs. You work hard to make your music, so we work hard to make sure you earn everything you deserve from it.

We’re proud of our level of client support. When you distribute your music with us, we’re here to help you in whatever way we can.

Whether you prefer talking to us via email, social media DM, live chat or good old-fashioned telephone, our Client Management team are friendly, efficient & always happy to help - without needing to battle your way through chatbots or automated responses to speak to a real human.

During our working hours (Monday to Friday, 10-6 (UK time)) our live chat response time is under 2 minutes, making us the most responsive music distributor you could choose.

The most important factor is to keep releasing great music!

Besides that, we help our clients by submitting editorial playlist pitches for your releases to platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, & more.

While we can’t guarantee editorial playlist placements (anyone who tells you they can is lying!), we know what it takes to capture the attention of playlist editors & regularly land coveted placements for our artists.

Achieving verification for your social media accounts & getting that little blue tick of recognition gives your music career more recognisability & authority.

Becoming verified on Meta platforms (Facebook & Instagram) can be achieved by subscribing to Meta Verified for a monthly payment.

If you have press mentions & other wider evidence of your brand or career outside of social media platforms, we may be able to apply for verification on your behalf - if successful, this would give you the verified status without needing to pay for monthly subscriptions. 

If you’re an Identity Music client and you’d like to explore this option, drop us a message via live chat and we’ll be happy to help.

Simply log in to your Identity Music dashboard! Our industry-leading technology collates all the data from every platform you distribute to show you the most helpful insights into your streaming performance.

From daily trends to revenue tracking, you can 

We’re not a DIY, hands-off, self-service distributor. 

At Identity Music, we go further than other distributors to support your music career, through promotional support, digital rights management, publishing administration - and more.

We invest time and resources into every one of our independent artists and record labels, so we want to make sure that we’re the right fit for your needs. By taking the time to vet each and every artist and label we work with, we’re able to make sure we’re able to give every client a level of attention that you won’t get from other music distributors.

For some platforms, like Spotify, you can. However, we’re also able to pitch your releases to other music platforms that don’t facilitate self-pitching, like Apple Music.

When you submit a pitch request to us, we craft a pitch that will get the attention of editors across multiple platforms to maximise your chances of securing an editorial playlist placement.
