Hey everyone,

We're the team behind DNM, a music distribution platform that primarily works with independent artists.

Over the past few months, we've spoken with a lot of artists, especially newer artists, and one thing kept coming up repeatedly:

Many artists wanted to release music, but weren't comfortable committing to annual subscriptions or upfront distribution costs before they had even built an audience.

So we've decided to launch a completely free music distribution plan.

A few details:

• Free forever (not a limited-time promotion)
• Unlimited song releases
• 80% royalty share
• Songs stay available for lifetime
• YouTube Content ID included
• Up to 2 primary artists
• Instagram profile linking
• Pre-save & release links
• Songwriter pages
• Revenue reports
• Spotlight Studio Basic Tier access
- Dedicated Dashboard

We also offer paid plans with additional features and higher-tier services, but we wanted to make sure artists had an option to release music without needing to pay upfront.

A couple of things worth mentioning:

1. This free plan is currently intended for individual artists.
2. We are not removing or changing the free plan after a few months. The intention is for it to remain available long-term.
3. We're still actively improving the platform and would genuinely appreciate feedback from artists who try it.

If anyone has questions about how the plan works, royalties, Content ID, release management, or distribution in general, we're happy to answer them in the comments.

Thanks for reading.

At DNM, we're researching how labels, distributors, agencies, and music businesses approach white label music distribution.

If you've used a white label provider or are considering one, we'd love to hear your perspective:

• What features are non-negotiable for you?
• What's the biggest challenge you've faced with your current provider?
• Are there any missing capabilities or pain points you wish someone would solve?
• What factors matter most when choosing a white label partner? Pricing, branding, support, royalty reporting, API access, automation, speed, or something else?
• If you haven't adopted a white label solution yet, what's holding you back?

We're looking to better understand the needs of businesses in this space and learn from real-world experiences. Any insights or lessons you've picked up would be greatly appreciated.

Question for independent artists:

Do you guys feel that your online presence is too scattered?

Spotify here, Instagram there, YouTube somewhere else, booking details missing, releases buried.

We’ve been working on something to solve exactly this for musicians:
a dedicated artist profile space where releases, links, featured tracks, socials, and future widgets can all live together.

Trying to make it feel less like a “bio link” and more like a real artist identity hub.

Would something like this actually be useful for you?
