Music distribution
For independent artists, labels and catalogue owners, Virtuoso delivers releases to streaming services and stores with accurate metadata and credits, and keeps the rights in order after release.

Questions
What does distribution actually mean?
Getting your recordings onto streaming services and download stores, so people can find, stream and buy them.
Is this just distribution?
No. Distribution works alongside rights management, so each release is registered and credited correctly from day one.
What do I need before a release?
Final audio, artwork, full credits, any codes you already have, and confirmation that you control the rights.
What if I already have a distribution deal?
Tell us what you have in place and we’ll talk through whether, and how, we can help.
How do I get started?
Choose Distribution on the form on this page and tell us about your release.
