Uploaded songs using Promoter (CD Baby). Can I add more Myself?

[SparringPartner]

I have uploaded songs to a Spotify account through a promoter company (CD Baby). My band has since created more music, and want to add new music to this same account ourselves without paying the promoter company again. Is this possible? If so, how?

Hey @SparringPartner,

Thanks for reaching out.

To make sure everything is properly licensed, Spotify requires that all music is being delivered by a distributor. Spotify has deals with most distributors, so if you already work with one just ask them to put your music on Spotify.

If you don't currently have a distributor, Spotify has deals in place with companies who can deliver your music to Spotify and collect royalties for you.

These services handle the licensing and distribution of your music and also pay you royalties when your fans stream your music on Spotify. There’s usually a small fee or percentage cut involved. Each service is unique, so be sure to do a little homework before picking one.
