DistroKid is a digital music distribution service that allows independent artists to upload their music to various streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. Founded in 2013, it aims to simplify the process of getting music online, enabling artists to reach a global audience without the need for a record label. One of the key features of DistroKid is its annual subscription model, which allows artists to upload unlimited songs for a flat fee. This approach helps musicians retain more of their earnings, as DistroKid takes a small percentage of the royalties generated from streaming and downloads.
