Unsong Music is a music distribution and artist development company dedicated to helping independent artists build sustainable careers on their own terms.

We believe independent artists deserve access to meaningful support from the earliest stages of their careers, not only after they’ve built momentum.

We combine digital distribution, A&R support, artist marketing, creative direction, brand management, digital strategy, playlist pitching, and more to help artists build momentum faster, grow their fanbase, and navigate the music industry successfully.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between the opportunities available to independent artists and those available to artists signed to traditional record labels.

Your music will be available on major stores within 1–10 days after submission.

You can also select a custom release date to align with your marketing plan.

Yes! Unsong Music will provide you with access to your sales dashboard.

You can easily track how your music is performing, including sales, streams, and earnings, all in one place.

Yes! With the UNSONG PREMIUM plan, artists who don’t distribute through us can still access our other services.

Simply apply for the plan, complete the form, and select the service you’d like us to provide.

Our team will review your request and be in touch shortly.

If you’re subscribed to the UNSONG PRO plan, our A&R team will evaluate your release and, if approved, pitch it to DSPs for editorial playlist placements.

Approval by our A&R team does not guarantee placement on editorial playlists, as playlist curators independently decide which music aligns with their playlists' themes and audiences.

To give our team enough time to review and pitch your music, please upload singles at least 30 days before the release date, and EPs or albums at least 45 days in advance.
