I think I heard a full choir break into song the first time I heard about what DistroKid offers. I’ve been aggressively recommending it to other musicians since.

John LaMacchia

The two things I love most about DistroKid are its simplicity, and its affordability. Releasing new music and getting music onto Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes—as well as monetizing YouTube—has never been easier or more affordable for me, than since I began using DistroKid.
John plays guitar for legendary hardcore/metal band, Candiria. He also plays with Spylacopa, and runs the independent record label, Rising Pulse Records.
Zach Marsh
“
I love DistroKid because I release a large volume of content online and DistroKid has no cap. I want a one-stop shop to upload my music to every platform on the market, and DistroKid makes it stupidly simple for me. More people than ever are hearing my music because you can find it anywhere.

Todd Bryanton
“
DistroKid is the fastest, most reliable way for me to distribute my music. I love only paying a single annual fee rather than paying per release; this saves me hundreds of dollars every year, and lets me upload music whenever I want. DistroKid’s ‘Teams’ feature makes it easy to automatically to split up payouts with other collaborators on a track, so we can focus more on creativity, than on accounting.
Todd Bryanton is a film and TV composer, and a YouTuber who releases electronic music under the name LilDeuceDeuce. The music videos on his LilDeuceDeuce channel have received over 32 million views.

I love DistroKid’s model: Release all the music I want for one low fee. No barriers between me and getting my music to the world. Perfect.

Ray Harmony
“
The day I discovered DistroKid was one of the happiest days of my 20-year music career! Finally, there was a distribution company that understood musicians. We musicians need a world-class distro service, but we need it to be super simple and cheap as chips, cos we wanna spend all our time & money making more music instead. Their customer care is second-to-none. DistroKid is a dream-come-true for any serious musician.
Ray Harmony has dedicated his life to using the power of music to inspire positive change in the world, which he does through Revolution Harmony. He’s an award-winning music lecturer, composer, performer, producer, journalist, and author.

Megan Davies
“
I’ve used DistroKid for the past two years, and it’s simply the best-valued digital distributor out there. It shouldn’t cost hundreds of dollars a year to release music online. I recommend it to all my musician friends.
Megan is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter. During the summer of 2013, Megan began uploading acoustic covers and mashups. Since then, her creative stylings have garnered her 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and over 2 million listeners per month on the major streaming services.

Dan the Automator

DistroKid is simple, efficient, and just works! It is the best way I know of to get my songs onto the various streaming services and stores.
Dan “The Automator” Nakamura is a San Francisco-based hip-hop producer whose work with “Kool” Keith Thornton on the latter’s Dr. Octagon project shot him to unlikely acclaim in 1996.

Dan is part of Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagon, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Got a Girl, Lovage, Gorillaz, and more.
Buck Nasty
“
DistroKid is so easy to use. The reports are detailed down to the smallest fraction of a penny. They reply in a timely manner and are willing to work with you. The prices are reasonable and the notifications you receive from DistroKid are wonderful. I can’t think of any better company. I think—no, I KNOW—this will be a life-long relationship.
Buck Nasty is the platinum-selling producer of “Hit The Quan” and “Lean & Dabb” by iHeartMemphis (both distributed by DistroKid), and many others.
Emma-Lee
“
I like that you can upload unlimited songs each year. But my favorite feature is being able to split the master ownership. This relieves my previous headache of having to account to people whom I share the master with. By far the best feature!
Emma-Lee is a critically acclaimed, award-winning pop singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Emma-Lee’s songs have been used in dozens of film and television placements. Her latest single, “Worst Enemy”, was a top-20 Billboard hit in Canada in 2016.
Propagandhi
“
We use DistroKid to quickly and efficiently get our music up on the myriad of ever-expanding digital distribution services. We don’t have a management team—and we don’t have the time to deal with anything that’s not brutally simple in our quest to continue our 25 year reign as the North Korea of Punk.
Propagandhi is a legendary punk band that has recorded a slew of records over their 25+ year history.
Dweezil Zappa
“
DistroKid is the epitome of artist empowerment. It’s so easy to use and has a no nonsense artist-first business model. Unleash your inner auteur, create your music and distribute yourself.
Dweezil Zappa is an American rock guitarist. He records & performs as a solo artist, and with various groups including Zappa Plays Zappa—which is a tribute to his dad, Frank Zappa.

Ryan “Fluff” Bruce
“
DistroKid was there with me starting out and has grown with me along the way! Providing such a great service while legitimately saving me some cash is a huge win in my book. If DistroKid were food, it would be bacon.
Professional audio engineer, producer & songwriter. Ryan’s influential YouTube channel, “Riffs, Beards & Gear”, has more than 385,000 subscribers.
Christopher Tin
“
I like DistroKid because it’s straight-forward to use, gives detailed data for accounting purposes, and gets my music into stores faster than any other service I’ve ever used. DistroKid has been a godsend for those last-minute distribution needs—when you get the masters back 48-hours before you go live on iTunes.
Christopher Tin is a two-time Grammy-winning composer, and is the first composer ever to win a Grammy for a piece of music from a video game.

Glenn Fricker
“
DistroKid is fantastic at taking the headaches out of putting my music online. Instead of jumping through hoops, I upload to one place & collect my earnings. The best feature, in my opinion, is the cover song license system. This is a HUGE help, and has saved me untold hours of dealing with legal documents. DistroKid is the “killer app” for today’s musician.
