For Content ID and income from other people's videos (YouTube Content ID, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok), the distribution partner retains €20.00 of every €100.00, we keep €8.00 and you receive €72.00.
What the distribution partner actually retained is shown on your royalty statement.

Which platforms will my music be on?
Including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL, Audiomack, Pandora, Boomplay and Anghami. That list may change.
How long does it take for my release to become available?
That depends on the checks by our distribution partner and the stores; there's no guaranteed live date. You can follow the status of each release.
When and how do I get paid?
How often we settle and from what amount we pay out is set out in your royalty agreement. In the portal you see what you can have paid out.
Can I transfer my existing catalogue?
Yes, in the portal under Tools → Transfer. Your existing ISRC and UPC codes are kept.
Do you help with metadata and artwork?
Yes. We check your metadata and artwork before submission and show at every step what is still missing. If you get stuck, our team will help you.
