    Thank you for the tips.
    Questions: 1) re AI generated cover art for a single or album - it seems has its own risks, what are the terms around DistroPic images? On Canva for example you can create AI images with prompts and they say they do not guarantee that it is safe to use for commercial use because AI terms in general in the world are not as clearly determined yet.
    2) you mentioned registering in the performers association, do you have a video on that? (and does it differ if you live outside of USA? In Canada or Europe for example.

I'm an independent artist/producer from Nigeria and I intend on signing up for the label plan $80 I was in the process of making my research when I came about the tax aspect of everything... I was told by a friend that it's usually hard to get paid when you are not able to provide all the tax info which I can't since I don't live in the states... So please what can I do about the tax

    Hello I have a question no one seems to have the answer to. I originally subscribed to the label plan (5 to 10 artists) then a year later by mistake, when trying to renew my subscription (I didn’t know it had already renewed automatically) they accepted my “second”payment as an upgrade payment and put me on the label plus account (10-20 artists)!
    So currently I’m paying a fortune yearly and every time a released is renew I am charged with the extras too. I’m desperate and don’t know what to do!!! So frustrating!
    Do you know if I was to downgrade by canceling my current label account and subscribing again to distrokid but this time to the musician plus account, will I have to pay for all the uploads individually again? I have 7 releases of my own and 26 from other artist. That will be a fortune for me to pay at once!

    • @ZigZagProductionStudio
      @ZigZagProductionStudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would contact DistroKid to downgrade your account

      Much appreciated!
      ‼️PLEASE TAKE NOTE‼️ I already tried reaching out since last year right when it happened with no success, to ask how it all would work out, but there’s no one available only bots. There’s no way to reach out a human. Only automated messages programmed to send articles containing key words on my question. The only option I found on the hundreds of articles they reply with, was to cancel and subscribe again, then re upload. No option to transfer anything. 😕
