Having an entertainment lawyer familiar with the music industry on stand-by will give you extra confidence when a contract comes your way, or when crafting your own.Have things reviewed to make sure you’re not getting screwed over, or if a contract is missing any necessary components. |

Distributor
|
The music distributor is the one who will get our music into all relevant stores & streaming platforms for our fans to listen and buy. Traditionally, music distributors would work with labels to get their artists music into retail music stores. Today, distributors work the same way, but most stores are now streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, TikTok, Pandora, Tidal and Deezer. Notorious Muzik uses CMDSHFT for it music distribution. It’s also not as necessary for an artist to be part of a label to have their music distributed, though an independent label like Notorious Muzik can be beneficial in many ways.
