distribution
Our distribution plugs you directly into the exact same enterprise backend we use to power our record label, Theoria Records. You get the global delivery power, advanced analytics, and backend infrastructure of a major label, without giving up any of your independence or ownership.
self-starter: Includes global distribution to all 200+ streaming platforms, allowing you to keep 100% of your net earnings. Because this track is completely autonomous, you are fully responsible for managing your own release timelines and submitting your own playlist pitches.
co-pilot: Unlocks the true power of our label backend. We dictate your release calendar to ensure maximum algorithmic impact, handle the metadata asset optimization for you, and actively submit priority pitches for editorial playlist placement through our premium distributor channels.

If you decide to step away from Standout Artists, we will initially offer you a pure distribution deal to keep your music with us.
That deal is an 85/15 split (favoring you). We use the 15% to continue managing your metadata and payouts. We are also more than happy to continue distributing new releases even if you are not an active artist.
However, the decision is completely up to you. If you prefer to move your releases elsewhere, you can do that with no issue.
