Level Music

Hi PH community! We are excited to share with you an early beta release of Level, a new global distribution platform for independent musicians. Our team spent countless hours speaking to musicians from all over the world to understand their challenges and needs as they pursue their creative vision and build a career. It’s been an amazing experience and beyond rewarding hearing the feedback from some of tomorrow’s brightest creators. We understand there are a lot of great products out there to support artists’ needs around music distribution, but we also know there is a lot of room for improvement. While we may not have all the answers now, we’re focused on building the right product brick by brick alongside the music community. Today's release is focused on providing a simple and frictionless way for artists to get their music out to all of the major music services while getting essential performance analytics, a dedicated support team and an easy way to get paid for their work via PayPal. And by frictionless, we mean making it free during this beta phase and plan on having a free version. That means no fees, surcharges, and artists keep 100% of their royalties. We believe in creating valuable features and products that the community will be proud to pay for in the future. In tandem with this release, we’re also launching a community program called Open Sessions (https://levelopensessions.com) down at SXSW allowing for registered users to book free studio time during music week. Space will be limited but our intention is to roll out this program in future cities and communities. The beta (https://beta.levelmusic.com) is currently available via invite only but for everyone here you can use this invite code: TEAMLEVEL2018 to gain access. We'd love your feedback and are looking forward to hearing what you create! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V.1 Release: + A simple and fast way to release music to Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play, Deezer, TIDAL, Pandora and Napster. More services will be added in the future + No upfront charges or fees.

Congrats on the launch, @itsthanh and team. I'm admittedly not familiar with this space. How are artists distributing their music across all platforms today?

Holy cow, this is amazing! I'm excited to see where this platform goes, but as an independent musician, I'm definitely going to try this.
