Sign up, pick your plan, upload your tracks and artwork, set your release date, and we handle the rest. Your music reaches Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, TikTok and 100+ more platforms.
We work as both a label and a distributor, and the terms around masters, publishing, and creative control vary depending on the plan. We’ll always be clear about what you keep.
Yes. Crowntune offers unlimited releases so you can keep building your catalog without paying per release.
Artists receive their royalties monthly as soon as we receive them from our partners. Spotify royalties typically arrive around 70 days after the streaming period. For example, January royalties would usually arrive around the beginning to middle of April.
We distribute to 100+ stores and platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Instagram and more.
Because we truly back independent artists. We put our own resources behind every artist who joins us, no matter which plan you’re on. We believe exposure shouldn’t stop great music from getting heard.
