Tunecore has arrived, a digital music distributor created especially for artists

TuneCore, an independent digital music distributor for artists who manage their own publications, announced a major change for the benefit of musicians. According to Andreea Gleeson, CEO of TuneCore, it’s the biggest change since they started operating 16 years ago, and these are plans that include a free option.

Since its inception, TuneCore democratize access to music distribution for artists who manage their own publications. Today, successful strategies have shifted from releasing a couple of EPs, or an album per year, to releasing singles more often and more regularly to keep up with the consciousness of existing and potential fans.

With the launch of the “TuneCore No Limits” program, constant music creation is more accessible to all artists, giving them the control to release an unlimited number of singles and albums.

With the free plan, artists can take their music directly to the music libraries of social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube and start generating revenue right away, with the music generating direct interest among fans.

Then, as their career progresses, artists will be able to upgrade plans to better suit their needs as they change.

statements

Gleeson commented: “We spent a year talking directly with artists and labels about how we can improve our service. What stood out was: artists want to be able to test their new music for free, before distributing it to all services, and they want to release the music they are creating instantly, regularly and easily. “

Alejandra Olea, MD of Believe Américas, the owner of TuneCore, explained: “The democratization of access to music brought about by the growth of different streaming platforms is reflected in the proliferation of new local artists and labels with great diversity. “.

Bruno Duque, Head of TuneCore for Latin America and Brazil, commented: “We have direct agreements with more than 150 digital platforms around the world, without intermediaries and we pay 100% of the royalties directly to our independent artists and labels. We have already paid over $ 2.5 billion and this is all thanks to him. “

the artists speak

TuneCore artist Erika Vidrio said, “My first distributor as an independent artist was TuneCore. It was a relief to know it existed because being in control of your work and seeing the fruits arrive without the need for intermediaries is one of the best sensations for an artist. My experience was very positive, I left them my initial catalog because their structure is one of the most practical on the market “.

In this regard, Gleeson also added: “Even with all these changes, one thing remains the same: TuneCore will never stop putting artists’ interests first and with every update of our service we will always have the needs of our artists like our priority. Ultimately, we’re here to help them improve their music and become more popular. “
