The upload price is the smallest number in a label's year. These decide whether running the roster is easy or a monthly spreadsheet:
White-label distribution lets a label, a management company or a new distributor offer distribution under its own brand. The provider runs delivery to the stores, catalog, royalty processing and payouts; your artists only ever see your name, logo and domain. It is how most new distribution brands start: you bring the artists and the relationship, the platform brings the technology and the store deals.
A complete label workspace under your name: delivery to the stores with human review, catalog, royalty statements, splits, wallet and payouts, artist and sub-label accounts. Your logo, colours, your own domain and sign-in page, and emails from your own domain. We stay out of sight: your sub-labels and artists never see our name.
White-label distribution software for labels and distributors: you run the platform and the operations, they provide the tooling and store connections.
Infrastructure for music businesses: catalog, rights and royalty tooling with white-label options, aimed at companies building their own services.
Business-to-business distribution and marketing services for labels and distributors, by application. A service partner rather than a platform you brand.
It is distribution you offer under your own brand. A white-label provider runs the delivery to Spotify, Apple Music and the other stores, the catalog, the royalty statements and the payouts, while your artists see only your name, logo and domain. Labels and new distributors use it to offer distribution without building the technology or the store relationships themselves.
Look past the price of one upload. A label needs sub-labels and artist accounts, royalty splits it can set per track, clear statements by release and store, payouts it can control, and someone to call when a release is stuck. Self-serve services built for solo artists often stop at the upload; label-focused services and white-label platforms cover the rest.
Yes, if the release keeps the same ISRC codes for its recordings and the same UPC for the release, the stores can link the new delivery to the existing one, so play counts and playlist placements stay. Plan the switch so the new delivery is live before the old one is taken down.
Through a revenue share agreed with each label in its partnership, and through monthly or yearly white-label plans. Every statement shows the gross, our share and what is yours.
Yes. With a white-label platform you bring the artists and the brand; the platform brings the store delivery, review, royalty processing and payouts. With Stillmore Group you also set what your artists see, who answers their questions, and how your emails, sign-in page and documents look.
