What is a Music Distributor?

A music distributor is a company that helps artists and record labels market their music on physical and digital platforms, such as physical retailers, online music stores, and streaming services.

The main job of a music distributor is to handle the logistics of getting music from the label or artist to the end consumer. This includes ensuring that labels and artists receive royalties for their music, negotiating deals with retailers, and uploading music to streaming services and online stores.

To help artists and labels better understand their audience and reach more listeners, music distributors may offer additional services such as marketing and promotion, playlist pitching, and data analytics.
