# What is AMM Distro?

AMM Distro is a music distribution service for independent artists, managers and labels. You build your release in one place, we review it and deliver it to streaming services, social platforms and stores, and your earnings and statements show up in your dashboard.

## What's included

* **Distribution to 44 stores and platforms**, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Content ID, plus regional services in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Russia. You choose the stores and countries for each release.
* **A dedicated manager.** Every client has a named person on our team to help with release planning, fixes to metadata or artwork, store issues and takedowns.
* **A one-page release builder** with full credits for writers, producers and performers.
* **Content ID and social platforms.** TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud can recognise your audio in other people's videos and pay you for it.
* **TikTok sound claims.** If a viral edit of your song isn't linked back to your release, you can paste the sound link and ask us to claim it.
* **A free smart link** at anthm.link for every release, with a Spotify pre-save before release day.
* **Analytics** from the stores and from Spotify for Artists, shown separately.
* **Royalty splits and collaborator agreements.** Your collaborators can be paid directly from your earnings.
* **Statements and payouts** to PayPal or a bank account.

## Who it's for

Artists, managers and labels who release regularly and want a team behind them. Labels can manage a roster of artists, each with their own sub-account.

AMM Distro is invite-only. You join by applying (see **How to join AMM Distro**) or by accepting an invitation from someone who already has an account.

## How it's paid for

AMM Distro is free to join and has no subscription. Instead, we keep a share of the royalties your releases earn, and you keep the rest. The share depends on the size of your project. Your manager goes through it with you before you sign anything, and the exact split is written in your agreement.

You keep ownership of your masters. Distribution doesn't transfer your rights to us.

## ANTHM is optional

ANTHM is our marketing platform for running creator campaigns on TikTok and other short-video apps. It uses the same sign-in as AMM Distro, and you can open it from the **ANTHM** link at the bottom of the left menu. You don't need to use it to distribute music with us.

## Common questions

### Do I keep the rights to my music?

Yes. Distribution doesn't take ownership of your masters. Funding and label deals are separate, and they're never a condition of distribution.

### Can I use AMM Distro on my phone?

Yes. The AMM Distro apps for iPhone and Android show your releases, analytics, earnings, smart links and notifications. Creating and editing releases, splits, agreements, tax forms and payout setup are done on the web.

### How do I contact you?

Send us a message from the chat on this page, or email team@ammdistro.com. If you're a client, you can also reach your manager directly.
