We just launched a free music distribution plan for independent artists
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:
- This free plan is currently intended for individual artists.
- We are not removing or changing the free plan after a few months. The intention is for it to remain available long-term.
- 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.
