Good to know.
How do I distribute my music to Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms?
Log in to the Universal Sound Group portal with your access code, fill in your release details, upload your WAV or FLAC audio, lyrics and 3000 x 3000 cover art, choose your genres, platforms and countries, then submit. Our team reviews it and delivers it to the stores.
Do I keep my rights and masters?
Yes. You keep 100% of your rights. Universal Sound Group distributes and protects your music, it does not take ownership of it.
How do I get paid and what does Universal Sound Group keep?
Every artist has a revenue share agreed with Universal Sound Group. Monthly store statements are imported into the portal, and each artist sees streams, countries, platforms, gross earnings, the USG share and their own payout.
Which platforms do you deliver to?
Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, TIDAL, Deezer, Pandora, SoundCloud, Snapchat and more, 150+ stores and services in total, including regional services across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
What is YouTube Content ID and how do I stop my own channels being claimed?
Content ID finds videos that use your recording and lets you earn the ad revenue, track the views or block the video. Add the artist channels and any partner channels to the allowlist so they are never claimed.
