Hey there @AnujPratap,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the Community!

I hope I understand correctly, that you're interested in pitching your music to Spotify. If you are an artist yourself or an artist's representative, then make sure to check out the link provided earlier by @Billy-J, as it leads to the portal we have designed especially for helping artists. In case you represent a music label or a distribution company and have questions regarding licensing and distribution to Spotify, then you might want to check the Providers directory that is listed here. At the bottom of the page there is a link to a form that allow you to submit your propositions about expanding the list.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted if you have any questions.

Hello, i would like to open an own Distributor service. I been working not only as a Composer and Producer but also as promotion manager as publisher and more for multiple artists. I been having insides in many of these roles in the music industry, and it seems all facetes in the music industry is controllable and fine with me instead of the Distributors. They been freezing accounts holding money and closing whole catalogues with hundrets of songs because they had a few issues with 1% artificial streaming. I been paying alot of free money upfront investments that been lost because the Distributors didnt paid them out , although the money been allready paid out by Spotify. It gets too expensive towork with these Distributors. They have so many customers that they can literally just do what they want with the artists, labels and publishers. they just keep hundrets of thousands of dollars away from our team in the past although we been needing that to fund our ecosystem. So with that being said, all we need is a consistent distributor who pays out the money that been coming from Spotify and we can start reinvesting in the art of what it should be all about. so after trying out multiple of these distributors only very few got what we needed and still having issues here and there. SO now i come to the conclusion after 6years of constant funds being taken away from the distributors, to open my own distribution service. I will make sure to always pay out the funds even there is an artificial streaming report from spotify as long as spotify paid out the money, it need to be directed to whoever been uploading that music and shareholds splits on that music. This been so toxic and hard financial times the past years for the artists that many fell off and stopped even doing music. So now there need to be one who is on the side of the artists again and make it possible for them to generate an income on thir musi to be able to go further steps into the music industry, like paying managers, promotions , music videos, gigs, ads, studio time and so on. The whole music ecosystem will benefit from that. So that is my mission in managing an own distribution service, can u please help me in taking the next steps how to get to the connection to spotify directly?
