A RELEASE IS
NOT AN UPLOAD.

Turn a finished master into a professional release with planning, metadata, artwork, distribution, profiles and enough lead time.

RELEASE PLANNING

Choose a realistic date early enough to deliver the music, prepare assets, pitch relevant partners and build anticipation.

METADATA

Artist names, titles, credits, writers, producers and ownership data should be consistent. Bad metadata can follow a track for years.

ISRC & UPC / EAN

The ISRC identifies the recording; a UPC/EAN identifies the release product. Keep those identifiers stored with the master data.

ARTWORK

Artwork should represent the record and meet distributor/platform requirements. Build a recognisable visual world rather than one isolated square image.

DISTRIBUTION

Upload is only the technical part. Check territory, rights, release date, profiles and store delivery before assuming the job is finished.

ARTIST PROFILES

Claim and maintain Spotify, Apple, YouTube and other artist profiles so listeners land on a professional, recognisable artist identity.
