Releasing your music as an independent artist may feel daunting and onerous, especially if youâre new to the game. iMusician, as an experienced digital music distributor, is aware of that and seeks to be the best of support to musicians during their release cycle. It also offers a variety of distribution perks and services, including an AI-powered Instant Mastering service and Artist Hub promo suite, to help musicians make the best out of their upcoming music, before it even goes out into the world!
Letâs find out how distributing your music with iMusician can help your music career, starting TODAY.Â
To put musicians at ease during the release process, iMusician has developed a super simple, 4-step upload flow that allows musicians to upload their release frustration-free and in no time. The music industry is often believed to be complicated and intimidating and itâs one of iMusicianâs ultimate goals to show musicians otherwise and make them comfortable releasing their music.
Their upload form in the iMusician App is easy and straightforward and only asks whatâs really required. To know what youâre up to, you can choose between three subscription plans that are tailored specifically to meet the needs of independent artists. Once you sign up, you automatically end up on their free plan and become a valuable member of the iMusician Community. If youâre looking to level up, you can upgrade to AMPLIFY or AMPLIFY+ subscription and enjoy additional distribution perks and extra promotional and monetization features.â
Almost every single step of the upload process is accompanied by pointers and explanations to avoid any second guessing. You start by selecting your releaseâs genre, the delivery stores and your release date, to move on to filling the release details, metadata and uploading your audio.Â
Unlike many other distributors, iMusician is proud to distribute every possible music genre and to cover the widest range of music streaming and download stores, including electronic and classical music shops. This allows DIY artists to maximise their reach to their target audience and thus potentially generate more streams and grow their fan base. â
With AMPLIFY and AMPLIFY+, you can also customise your digital release date, opt for faster delivery options or find the best release date to pitch on Spotify for Artists to get playlisted in their editorial playlists. Â
To import your tracks, you can use the iMusicianâs Integrated Track Library that enables musicians to upload and organise their audio files in advance. Additionally, the simple track management system lets you coordinate your music catalogue and perform a variety of actions on your tracks, like distribution, mastering, and promotion, simultaneously. By keeping your tracks organised, easily searchable, and ready for distribution, the library saves you valuable time (which you can spend on creating new music) and further ensures a smooth release process.
iMusician makes sure to acknowledge every aspect of your release, including the release artwork, which has great power to draw the attention of your fans. This is why you can either upload your own artwork OR create one on the spot using their integrated artwork generator. â
Providing access to Unsplash and their vast catalogue, the artwork generator allows musicians to search through over 3 million royalty-free high-quality images and select the one that fits the vibe of their music and represent their upcoming release.
Monetizing your music on YouTube can be tricky, especially if youâre just at the beginning of your music journey. That is because the platform usually requires more than 4000 hours of watch time and at least 1000 subscribers to be able to monetize it. â
With iMusician, you can get the YouTube Content ID during the release upload process (or at any time after), allowing you to start making money from your music on the platform the moment itâs released. Right on day one, you get paid whenever someone uses your music in their video AND when ads are displayed on your videos, too.Â
Itâs never too early to start promoting your release. The iMusicianâs Artist Hub promo suite enables artists to create a professional web presence and generate buzz for their release in just minutes, before the release is even out.Â
As a shearable music smartlink, Release Page Pro+ allows you to generate a pre-save page and set it up directly after you uploaded your release (no need to wait for the Spotify URL!). This way you can start collecting your fanâs saves from day zero and watch as your track gets automatically added to their library the moment itâs released. Additionally, on the release date, the pre-save page automatically turns into a fully customizable release page with all shops and all your promo materials. This means that one link is all you need to promote your track before, during and after itâs released.
If, at any stage of the release process (or after), you consider establishing your artist brandâs web presence, iMusicianâs Artist Page let you do so for free, and without the hassle of building an artist website from scratch. In fact, 3 simple steps is all you need to set it up and showcase your releases, display your latest videos, boost your ticket sales, or impress the press with your ultimate EPK. Whatâs more, you can get your brand started even if youâve never released anything before!
