The DistroKid Sale Problem Every Independent Artist Should Be Watching

On today’s episode, we’re breaking down the DistroKid situation that a lot of independent artists are starting to talk about right now. DistroKid is currently one of the largest independent music distributors in the world, responsible for distributing a huge percentage of the music uploaded to streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. One of the biggest reasons artists use DistroKid is simple: You keep 100% ownership of your music. There’s no royalty split, no ownership claim, and artists maintain full control of their catalog. But recently there’s been growing chatter in the industry that DistroKid could potentially be looking to sell the company. And that raises a much bigger question for independent artists: What actually happens to your music if your distributor sells? Because when companies get acquired, terms of service often change. And if your music is already live on streaming platforms — already gaining traction, already building momentum — those changes could impact what you’ve agreed to moving forward.
