(founded in 2013 by entrepreneur ‘philip J. “pud” kaplan’)

|’distro-kid’ principally offers ‘musicians’ (+ other ‘rights-holders’ the opportunity to ‘distribute’ / ‘sell’ or stream their music through online retailers such as…|
‘iTunes’
‘spotify’
‘pandora’
‘amazon music’
‘google play music’
‘tidal’
‘deezer’
‘iHeartRadio’
(and others)
.
(in ‘july 2015’, a ‘DistroKid release’ by musical act ‘jack & jack’ went to #1 worldwide in the ‘iTunes charts’)
(this was particularly notable because ‘DistroKid’ does not take a ‘commission of royalties, making this the first time a #1 charting artist was able to keep 100% of their earnings)
(in ‘may 2016’, DistroKid launched a feature called “teams” that makes it possible for ‘royalties’ to be automatically sent to ‘collaborators’ + ‘shareholders’)
.
[since then, ‘distrokid’ has made several other developments including partnering with ‘spotify’ to support ‘cross-platform uploads’ for ‘spotify artists’ who upload directly or have ‘direct licensing deals’ with the company + an investment from ‘silversmith capital partners’]
