Exclusive Artists Only

Music Village
DSP

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 anything. Distribution, marketing, funding, and sync, all run through a network most independents never get to touch.

Up to $3M project funding
Active sync briefs
Invite only

01 — The Idea

Built for the artists who said no to a deal.

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 attached to it.

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.

It's not a distributor.

Distributors move files. DSP runs campaigns, books placements, and writes checks. It's the part of a label deal worth having — uncoupled from everything you'd have to trade for it.

02 — The Roster

Invite only. Always has been.

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 actually build around.

You already have a fanbase

Numbers that move without a push behind them. Not going viral once — doing it on a schedule.

You're already earning

Steady streaming revenue across the majors. A back catalog that keeps paying while the new stuff ships.

You're not signing

You've been pitched the deal and you walked. You want the machine — not the ownership trade.

03 — Capital

There's money behind the roster.

$3M

project-level capital available to qualified DSP artists.*

Recoupable against earnings. No equity in your masters.

What that actually pays for
  • Albums, EPs, and singles — studio through mastering
  • Music videos and the visual world around a rollout
  • Tour production, routing, and international runs
  • Campaign media spend and press buys
  • Merch lines, brand development, and activations
  • Content teams for the drop window

*Funding is project-by-project and requires an eligibility review. Not every artist is approved, not every request is. Terms apply.

04 — Payouts

Your money, tracked in real time.

Quarterly statements are a relic. DSP pipes streaming, sync, and mechanical income into a live dashboard — so you can see exactly what a record is earning while it's still climbing.

Every major platform

Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer and the rest — ingested and reconciled automatically.

Live dashboard

Streams, revenue, territory splits, and playlist lift updated daily. Catch a spike early, not in the quarterly report.

$

Line-by-line clarity

Every dollar shows where it came from. Platform, territory, source. Nothing pooled, nothing obscured.

Licensing desk

Sync fees, performance royalties, and one-off licenses handled by a real team — not a form.

05 — Rollouts

Every drop is a campaign.

A distributor pushes your file to stores. DSP builds a release window around it — teaser content, presaves, press, editorial pitching, and the paid layer underneath all of it.

01

Pre-save & teaser phase

Custom pre-save flows for every platform. Drop-day algorithmic lift isn't an accident — it's booked two weeks in advance. Paid acquisition runs against your audience, not a lookalike.

02
📢

Press & editorial

Actual pitches to actual editors. Playlist placement, outlet coverage, and brand-side introductions that move with your release calendar instead of chasing it.

03
🎧

Strategy & in-window execution

A rollout plan with a name on it. Content drops, creator seeding, retail ads, socials — coordinated across the weeks that matter instead of on launch day alone.

06 — Sync

The part of the business most indies never see.

Sync is where catalogs quietly print money — and it's the hardest door for an independent artist to get in front of. 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.

  • Film — theatrical and streaming
  • Episodic TV and streaming series
  • National and global advertising
  • Games — soundtracks and trailers
  • Brand campaigns and activations
6 figures
isn't rare.

Primary placements in film, national ads, and trailers routinely land in six-figure territory — and that's before the back-end performance royalties every time it runs.

07 — Honest Comparison

Where this sits against the other options.

DistroKid and UnitedMasters are good at what they do — they just do a different thing. They're software you rent. DSP is a team, a network, and a budget.

  • Project funding

UnitedMasters

Creator-tier platform

The Pitch, Short Version

Stay independent.
Stop operating like one.

If you're already pulling numbers without a team behind you, imagine what happens when one shows up — and doesn't ask you to trade anything for it.

Your masters.
Your catalog.
