1. The Distributor's Role: Your Gateway to Streaming

Part 9 • DistroKid Referral Program

A music distributor is the essential bridge between you and the streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, etc.). They handle the technical aspects of uploading your music, metadata, and artwork to hundreds of digital stores worldwide. DistroKid is one of the leading independent distributors, known for its flat annual fee and its promise to pay artists 100% of their royalties. For any artist serious about releasing music, selecting a reliable distributor is one of the first, non-negotiable steps.
