If you make music, you no longer need a record deal or a big budget to reach the world. Music distribution with current plan terms lets independent artists upload a track once and have it appear on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Anghami and supported digital services — across more than 200 countries. This guide explains exactly how it works and how to do it the right way.
A distributor delivers your finished song to digital stores and streaming platforms (called DSPs) and collects your royalties. A genuinely free distributor — like Mazufa Records — charges nothing to upload, takes no cut of your royalties, and lets you retain ownership of your work subject to your agreement. You stay the owner of your music.
Have three things ready: a mastered audio file (WAV is best), cover artwork (3000×3000 px, no logos or URLs), and your metadata — track title, artist name, featured artists, songwriters and genre. Accurate metadata is what makes your music discoverable, so take your time here.
Sign up, create your artist profile, and add your platform IDs (Spotify for Artists, Apple Music for Artists) so streams map to your verified profile from day one.
Upload your audio and artwork, enter the metadata, and pick a release date. Scheduling 2–4 weeks ahead gives you time to pitch playlists and build pre-save momentum.
After release, watch streams and earnings by store, market and track in real time. With a free distributor you keep every cent of your royalties — there are release fees follow the current plan and no annual subscription.
With Mazufa Records, one upload reaches supported digital services and DSPs worldwide, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Pandora, SoundCloud and Anghami. See the full stores and platforms list.
