WORLDWIDE DIGITAL MUSIC DISTRIBUTION   

There is no denying that the current trend and future trend of music, for a large part, lies in the digital world. Friendly Folk Records offers distribution on all mainstream music platforms: Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, Juno Download, Shazam, Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube Music, plus over 200 other download/streaming platforms worldwide. We also set up YouTube monetization on your behalf. Our aggregator iMusician, located in Switzerland, is one of the leading digital music services in Europe. Since 2023, the aggregator has changed their terms of service and charge per upload. Please note that this cost is charged towards each release and deducted from sales income prior to royalty payout.

Acceptance on all major platforms is guaranteed, acceptance on the other platforms is based on music genre, and so at the discretion of the platforms. You have the choice whether you distribute your music for streaming and/or download only. You may exclude YouTube Monetization. You can also choose the countries or continent you wish to include (or exclude).

The distribution process typically takes about 4 weeks for Single track releases and 6 weeks for albums, before your music is live on all platforms! Friendly Folk Records label will be notified when your music goes LIVE. An announcement will be made on our website and via social media. Streaming statistics ared updated on a monthly basis, and included in Sales Statements provided to Artists. Effective January 2023, there will be a minimum payout threshold of €50. Artists will be paid twice per year, January and July, according to the percentages defined in Artist contract. Please note that gathering sales statistics can take the aggregators several months before the first sales statistics are available. If sales do not reach €50 during the first semi-annual cycle, Artist will be paid annually.
