A music distributor is a company that helps music artists and labels get their music onto digital and physical platforms such as streaming services, online music stores, and physical retailers.
The primary function of a music distributor is to take care of the logistics of getting music from the artist or label to the end user. This includes negotiating deals with retailers, uploading music to streaming services and online stores, and ensuring that artists and labels receive royalties for their music.
In addition to these basic functions, music distributors may offer additional services such as marketing and promotion, playlist pitching, and data analytics to help artists and labels better understand their audience and reach more listeners.
