What is Unchained Music?

Last updated on
June 30, 2026

Unchained Music is an independent music distribution and artist services platform that gets your music onto Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, YouTube, and 220+ other digital platforms worldwide. Unlike legacy distributors, we combine distribution with a full stack of tools built for serious independent artists: YouTube Content ID, AI-powered mastering, royalty advances up to $600,000, and optional add-ons like Beatport and Vevo distribution.

We operate on three paid subscription tiers, Grow, Pro, and Partner, each designed for a different stage of an artist's career, from emerging creators to established catalogs and labels. Every tier keeps 100% of your streaming royalties (we never take a commission on DSP payouts), and our Pro and Partner plans open up multi-artist management, priority review, and deeper reporting.

Artists choose Unchained Music because we're built around transparency, fair treatment, and direct artist control. No hidden fees, no clawbacks, no exploitative contracts. Just the tools, distribution reach, and human support you need to run your music business.
