Everything a label does for you. Without the label.
A closed-roster platform for artists who already have the numbers and the audience, and have decided they're not signing a deal. Distribution, marketing, funding and sync through a network most independents don't have access to.
01 · The Idea
Most of what a major label offers an artist is infrastructure: rollout teams, radio, sync pipelines, marketing budgets. DSP gives you that layer without the contract.
You keep your masters. You keep your publishing. You keep creative control. What you get is access: real distribution, campaign teams that treat every drop like a launch, a licensing desk with live briefs, and capital behind the projects that need it.
Distributors move files. DSP runs campaigns, books placements, and writes checks. It's the part of a label deal worth having, without the parts you'd have to trade for it.
02 · The Roster
Not every artist benefits from this kind of platform. We're only useful for people already moving, and we only take on what we can build around.
Numbers that move without a push behind them. Release after release, not one viral moment.
Steady streaming revenue across the majors. A back catalog that keeps paying while the new stuff ships.
You've been pitched the deal and you walked. You want the team and the network without giving up ownership.
03 · Capital
project-level capital available to qualified DSP artists.*
Recoupable against earnings. No equity in your masters.
*Funding is project-by-project and requires an eligibility review. Not every artist is approved, not every request is. Terms apply.
04 · Payouts
Quarterly statements are slow. DSP puts streaming, sync and mechanical income in a live dashboard, so you can see what a record is earning while it's still climbing.
Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer and the rest, ingested and reconciled automatically.
Streams, revenue, territory splits, and playlist lift updated daily. Catch a spike early, not in the quarterly report.
Every dollar shows where it came from. Platform, territory, source. Nothing pooled, nothing obscured.
Sync fees, performance royalties, and one-off licenses handled by a real team instead of a form.
05 · Rollouts
A distributor pushes your file to stores. DSP builds a release window around it: teaser content, presaves, press, editorial pitching, and paid promotion underneath all of it.
Custom pre-save flows for every platform. Drop-day lift is planned: pre-save campaigns start two weeks ahead. Paid acquisition runs against your audience, not a lookalike.
Actual pitches to actual editors. Playlist placement, outlet coverage, and brand-side introductions that move with your release calendar instead of chasing it.
A rollout plan with an owner. Content drops, creator seeding, retail ads and socials, coordinated across the weeks that matter.
06 · Sync
Sync is where catalogs earn quietly, and it's a hard door for independent artists to get through. DSP puts active briefs in your inbox instead of behind a gatekeeper.
We receive briefs across film, TV, ads, games, and brand work, then push the ones that actually fit your sound to you. You pitch. We negotiate. Placements clear.
Primary placements in film, national ads, and trailers can land in six figures, before the back-end performance royalties each time it runs.
07 · Comparison
DistroKid and UnitedMasters are good at what they do, but they do a different job. They're software you rent. DSP is a team, a network and a budget.

The Pitch, Short Version
If you're already pulling numbers without a team behind you, imagine what happens when one shows up and doesn't ask you to sign anything.
