After you’ve produced your songs and the Mixing/Mastering is complete, it’s time to publish your music on streaming services and download shops like Spotify, Itunes, Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Youtube Music, Tiktok. Some of the best Free Music Aggregators I review in this Blogpost are:

1. PMD Digital
2. Amuse
3. Tunecore
4. Cdbaby

1.PMD DIGITAL

PMD Digital is pretty new in music distribution game. Unlike other digital music distributors on this list, PMD Digital is an all in one platform for indie artist services.

I’ve tried almost all of the above music distribution companies. To be very honest, I’ll go for PMD Digital. The reasons are so many.

There is no subscription model in this platform. I hope it’ll change the market.

My Personal Experience with PMD Digital :

• YouTube Content ID
• Facebook UGC & Facebook Music.
• Soundcloud monetization.
• Tiktok Monetization.
• Fastest Distribution ( Distribute in 2 working days, Some time they distribute in 1 day as well ) 
• Distribution to 80% of streaming platforms (all the major ones)
• No Upfront & hidden fees.
• Monthly Payouts.
• Detailed Reports & Daily sales trends.

PMD Digital is a newly distribution company. It was launched in 2019, and I started using their services from 2020. So far overall experience is amazing, I never found any distribution like them.

That’s why I’m rating PMD Digital

2.AMUSE

Amuse is certainly unique when compared to its competitors. They offer some very cool features that a lot of other digital distribution companies don’t, so there’s many reasons they might be the right fit for your music.

First, they’re the only major company that allows you to distribute your music for free while keeping 100% of the profits. It’s pretty hard to compete with a price like that!

They’re able to offer this as music distribution is only part of their business model. When they see an artist that they think is going to be a success, they offer to sign them to their label. This is where they make the bulk of their income, in order to fund their distribution service.

If you’re hoping to get signed one day, the potential of a record deal is one more reason to go with Amuse. Of course, there’s no obligation to sign a deal with them, if that’s not your cup of tea. You can simply use them as a free service to distribute your music.

 Another interesting feature of Amuse is that they are the only major music distribution company that allows you to submit music from an app on your phone.

3.TUNECORE

TuneCore is one of the oldest digital music distribution companies and they have a proven track record because of that.

Like DistroKid, Tunecore lets artists keep 100% of their revenue. However, their pricing scheme is different than the others we’ve mentioned so far. They charge a yearly fee on a per single or per album basis. So, the more music you have, the more you’ll be paying each year and it adds up quick.

However, there are some perks to TuneCore that may make their services beneficial to certain artists.

First, TuneCore offers payment advances to artists who have had a significant number of streams in the past year. This can help you to fund future releases, much in the same way a label would, but as an independent artist.

 Second, they offer Songwriter Services, a program that will ensure you collect all of your songwriters royalties.

 So, although TuneCore’s services are more expensive than others, they may prove useful to artists who are making a significant income off of streaming, in order to offset the costs.

4.CDBABY

Where DistroKid is one of the most popular subscription based digital music distributors, CD Baby is one of the most popular companies that charge a one time fee.

Currently they charge artists just $9.95 USD per song or $29 USD per album. After that, your music will be sent to all major streaming platforms indefinitely (unless you choose to have it removed).

This makes CD Baby a much better choice if you’re only planning to release music a few times a year.

However, the one downside is that they do take a commission of 9% from any money you make through them.

Another perk to CD Baby, that a lot of other digital music distributors don’t offer, is there physical music handling. For additional fees, CD Baby can print you CDs or Vinyls of your music and even distribute them to stores around the world. Although not everyone may need this service, it’s a nice option to have in case you do.

After reading this article you should have a pretty good idea of what sets each platform apart from the next and which distributor is better suited for you.

RKOV is quickly becoming one of the rising names in music streaming platforms. The 30-year old DJ Producer from Casablanca, Morocco already collaborated with multiple big name artists and producers despite having no major deal as of today. That is not easy.

He first achieved international attention by creating new remixes to several artist’s songs such as David Guetta “Love Don’t Let Me Go”, Jaylann & Beathoven “Etranger” , Maroon 5 “Payphone”, Saad Lamjarred “Enty Hayaty” and now with his new release “Smoking Out The Window” remixing Bruno Mars’s song with Anderson Paak & Silk Sonic, It’s a powerful melodic remix with a funky EDM-infused edge, full of emotion and building euphoric energy.

He’s only been officially in the music industry for 5 years but already seems to have figured it out. His project release, “Smoking Out The Window” is currently buzzing over the internet with more than 2k Shazams in 4 days which set him on our radar. Let’s see how 2021 ends for him.

Jeff Tarver created Inner Artist Performance Studios with a vision to provide accessible, industry standard training for musicians and actors. With a strong mind for business, he has taken a small company, starting in Atlanta, GA and grown it across the United States to over 40 states. “I am thrilled by the growth and positive response we have from our clients about our program; It truly is something unique, built and created for beginners and professionals alike.” In speaking with Jeff, his drive and passion at the young age of 26 is notable, as well as his personal talent as a singer and pianist having performed professionally himself. 

What is it that made you begin this business?

“There is a strong need for the work that we do. The entertainment industry is difficult and quite perplexing to clients who have a talent, but don’t know how to market or utilize it professionally. I have experienced this personally, spending a great deal of money to talent agencies with no results for my financial investment. Pairing the business side of the artist to quality training from instructors who are actively performing across the United States brings a unique edge to the artists we work with. In my first teaching jobs, I found that having one set curriculum and way of doing things was suffocating to the client. It is my belief that every artist is different with various skills and weaknesses; This must be addressed on an individual level, not by a one size fits all approach. At Inner Artist Performance Studios, I am most proud of the personal commitment we have to each of our artists. We are always listening, checking in, and improving on ways we can better serve and ultimately help our clients reach their goals. I like to say that both our business and the artist are on a journey together; It is our mission to assist and be a positive, beneficial voice.”

In doing research about Inner Artist Performance Studios, we discovered this studio to be the first in the South East to offer what Jeff called “Pandemic Relief Packages” to clients. When the pandemic first began, Jeff said he witnessed large number of clients experiencing job loss and the inability to afford their training. He quickly stepped into action, providing internship opportunities, financial aid, and pay as you can systems so these clients did not have to discontinue their journey. 

What do you love most about the work you do?

“My clients and staff, first and foremost. Currently, we have a remarkable staff based out of Las Vegas, New York City, Orlando, Boston, and Mississippi. Our staff’s passion for the work they do is evident and it translates directly to our clients’ experience. To be able to have the passion of our staff mixed with the individual growth we see from our clients on a weekly basis is incomparable. It is a unique thing to be able to watch a client come in, once very shy, and in a few months actively participating in our masterclasses and virtual showcases that we offer; This evolution is what we love to see.”

We are excited to see the continued work of Jeff Tarver with his growing studio. To learn more about his business or the course offerings they have, you can visit Music Lessons Online and In Studio – Inner Artist Performance Studios.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Phillip Sanders.

It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?

My name is Phillip Sanders. I’m an American country music artist and songwriter, that resides in Texas. I have always been a big fan of country music, however, I didn’t decide to pursue a music career until 2016. I really never planned on becoming a country music artist, my initial goal was to only become a songwriter. After I wrote a few songs, the waiting period of other artist to pickup my songs is what steered me in the direction of becoming a country music artist. So in 2017 I decided to become a country music artist, and release some of the songs that I wrote. Luckily, the first song I wrote and released to the European radio stations hit #10 on the Joyce Ramgatie’s top 40’s single chart. Since then, I have had numerous top 40’s singles, and have been listed on the Joyce Ramgatie’s top 200 artist chart. Recently, I have been working on my presence getting on U.S. country radio stations with singles like “ Over A Beer” and “ Drink You Down” that were written by Chris Wommack, and Troy Johnson which is play on numerous country radio stations in the U.S.

I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you overcome along the way?

Starting off, I knew nothing about the music industry. So I had to teach myself everything, and in a short period of time. Becoming a country artist, or any artist is not easy with all the talent today. With the cost of PR companies, I had to figure out a way to do it myself. So far, with all of the promotional efforts in the U.S. I’ve done myself. Currently, both of my parents have stage 4 terminal cancer, so it’s hard to stay focused on my music career. But in my heart, I know that’s what they would want me to do, so a continue to work hard, and move forward with it.

Let’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?

I have always been a hard worker, and I always give in my best. I’m a versatile artist, that can sing traditional, classic, and newer styles of country music. But, if I had it my way, I would just be a traditional country artist. That has always been my niche, and I just love the style.

What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?

Starting from nothing, and getting something, is better than not doing it and getting nothing. So whatever you chose in life to do, give it a shot and see where it takes you. You will never know, unless you try. You do not want to wake up ten or twenty years down the road, wishing you would’ve of did something.

Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

Success can mean a lot of different things. But, to me it has never been about the money, fame, or attention. It has always been achieving goals that I set forth, and enjoying what I’m doing, and living life, day by day.

What’s next for you?

I’m going to continue to write, and release music. I really enjoy what I’m doing, and will work on improving my skills, and hope other doors open for me in the future.

Finally, how can people connect with you if they want to learn more.

I’m on numerous social media sites. On VEVO, FaceBook, and Instagram you can fine me under PhillipSandersMusic. I can also be contacted by email [email protected]

Druiid always felt like music was another language – one he was much more comfortable speaking. He immersed himself in the world of electronica, most notably Boards of Canada, always dreaming of making music of his own one day. As a self-professed engineering nerd, he paired home-designed instruments with traditional DAW’s, which led to the unique sound that would come to define his career.

It did seem for a while that as technology brought accessibility, both financial and creative, to a generation of would-be music makers the contemporary music scene was awash with identikit beatmakers and dance music wannabees. But as the adage proved, “it ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it,” most fly-by-night, style over substance, stars in their own minds looking for a fast track to fame and fortune, those feeding their ego rather than their creative urges quickly fell by the wayside. And what was left were those music makers and sonic manipulators who were driven to make music and passionate about the process. Druiid is one of those people.

Although running on familiar deep house and downtempo vibes, there is real adventure and inspiration at work on his track. Not for him the obvious tropes and templates that are awash in dance floor music, this is music that isn’t just giving the listener what they want, this is music giving the listener something that they didn’t realise they wanted, the familiar sounds of the genre but taken to new sonic heights… although that isn’t quite the right way to describe an album built around such understatement and minimalism.

When it comes to rappers, Femcee SKG can go head to head on the beat with any male artist in the game.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Helecia Choyce came up around one of hip hop’s most precious eras. Rap was her calling, and she knew it the moment she heard musical influences like Tupac, Nas, Biggie, Missy Eliot, and Lil Wayne. She would become acquaintances with none other than Death Row honcho, Suge Knight who gave Helecia her stage name, SKG which stands for “Suge Knight Girl.”

SKG had a talent for creating diversified music that had fans of varying backgrounds and locations jamming and shouting her lyrics like it was their own. Her name rose alongside the late great, Tupac, for whom she received writing credit and a Platinum Plaque for her work on his album, “Until The End Of Time.” Her fame was reaching into new heights with bangers that had crowds moving at her performances. Her latest single, “Bad Azz Bitch” featuring Boosie BadAzz and Heataboom shows SKG’s hit-making ability while owning her throne as one of the best Femcee’s doing it. The track is the warm-up to her upcoming album, “Unfinished Business” which features the aforementioned Boosie BadAzzz aka Lil Boosie, Paul Wall, Dave East, Suga Free and Anthony Hamilton.

Given the heat that comes from her new single, “Bad Azz Bitch” her upcoming album is going to be nothing but flames. Follow the Death Row protégé and run streaming numbers up on her new single.
