What is TunePartner and how does it work?
TunePartner is a premium music distribution company that helps independent artists and labels get their music on all major streaming services and digital stores. We focus on personalized support and an artist-first approach, giving you more control, flexibility, and care than traditional distribution platforms.
You upload your songs to TunePartner, and we deliver them to platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, and more. Our team personally reviews and approves your release quickly, and we aim to have your music sent to the stores within 24 hours.
You stay in control at every step, choosing which platforms to release on and when. As your music is streamed or downloaded, you earn royalties. We collect them and send your earnings to you via PayPal on a monthly basis.
How much does it cost to use TunePartner?
There are no upfront fees, no subscriptions, and no hidden charges. You can upload unlimited music and only share a percentage of your royalties once you start earning.
Our standard split is 70% for you and 30% for us.
If you're an established artist or label with a strong track record, we are open to negotiating an even better deal.
Who can join TunePartner, and how does the application process work?
TunePartner is open to independent artists and labels from anywhere in the world. We welcome all genres and levels of experience.
To maintain high quality and personal support, we review every application carefully and unfortunately cannot accept everyone. Our team looks at factors like music quality, previous releases, and current streaming performance. Most applications are reviewed within 24 hours.
If you're approved, you can start uploading right away. If not, you're always welcome to improve and reapply in the future.
Established artists or labels are encouraged to reach out before signing up so we can explore a custom distribution deal.
