On my first distrokid year I went Musician, everything it's dope and awesome, except that you can't decide the exact day and time of your release or send it to spotify playlists, then I upgrated to Musician Plus and now I have total control of everything. totally a good idea! :)
I wish it wasn't like dat because every other platform you only need to pay 20 to drop songs on any date so it lowkey crazy distrokid needs 40 for dat feature 😂‼️
I got the musician's plus plan to upload with a 2nd artist name, when uplaoding as the second artist name, how do i link my TH-cam and spotify to that artist name and not my first one? Would my second artist name upload this TH-cam channel or do i have to make another TH-cam and link it with distrokid like i did this one?
Same account. You can report on them separately but they will be paid to the same account as each DistroKid account is for an individual entity. More info at studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Hi. I want to change my artist name on Spotify but I heard that'll make me lose all my streams. Do you think adding the new artist name to my already existing profile work better?. Will musician plus serve the purpose?
Mr Johns, I would like to ask a question regarding the Musician Plus plan. So a friend of mine started a distrokid account (buying the Musician Plus plan) under her gmail address, so both her account and my account are under her gmail address. However it's really inconvenient for me to upload my stuff when it's her address and not mine, since I will be collaborating with other artists in the future. (for example, I will be doing a cover of another artist's song with his permission, and we'll be uploading the song afterwards) Is it okay if I change the gmail address back to mine? Is this going to accidentally create a new distrokid account that costs us more money? Will it affect the other artist account that is opened under my friend's gmail account? Or will this automatically cancel the plan we have been using? So the main question is, under the Musician Plus plan, can the two artist accounts be under two different gmail accounts? Thank you so much for your time and patience! Looking forward to your reply. Have a nice day!!
Hey there. Short answer is that a DistroKid account can only have one email address. You can change this, but it can’t be one that is already connected to a separate account. If you’re sharing the two artist names on one account and email address, the best would be to use a shared email address you both have access to. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
I believe there is a standard 35 track limit for all releases. I’m not sure if this is a DistroKid or platform limit. Check in with DistroKid here - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid.
Correct me if I'm wrong- One of the most important, overlooked feature of Musician Plus is that the artist is able to pitch their song to Spotify Curators which is otherwise not possible in the 'Musician' plan?
I didn’t actually know there was a specific feature through DistroKid for this? But if you mean that you can delay your release to give you time to promote, then yes.
Please help me out, I got a question. I'm working with my homeboy and he got his own distro account, so we are planning on upgrading to Musician Plus. My question is, if I pay with my account is his account also going to be activated since under musician plus plan it says 2 artist? Or we both gonna have to use my account?
Hey there. You can have two artists but only one account. You can report on the details for each artist individually, but not payout or manage separately. More details here. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
If me and my friend are dropping a song together but we are separate artist and this will be the first time we drop music would we need 2 separate distrokid accounts or just one ? So in the artist name we put each other with the & symbol ?? Can anyone help ??
Hey there. There always needs to be one primary artist and one featured artist in this case. Or your artist name is a band name under one account. You need to use the Teams feature to split revenue with a featured artist. th-cam.com/video/RSME-UlEzfg/w-d-xo.html
You get a second artist name for you to use. Co-releases and features are different and require the other artist to have their own separate account. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid

Does the Musician Plus plan ONLY apply to two artists? Because I’m new and that I’m an independent artists that’s interested in signing up for distrokid. I want to create my own lyrics and get my music out there you know.
Nope. DistroKid has some other features to help with this but the reason I like DistroKid is that they keep it simple. Http://studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
No, you don’t need to use both artists names but have the second available if you need or want it in the future. DistroKid FAQ here - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Hey bro my distrokid is charging me extras on every release yet I've not signed for any like now I want to release an audio and it's showing it needs 13$ what could be the problem
Giday Pete or any else on here from Dusty im wondering if you may be able help me with this. I have a song uploaded through distrokid on spotify ect and i when use it in a facebook video it chops 99 percent out due to copyright. Would you know how i give myself permission to use it.
Hey there. So, sounds like you might have selected Facebook as a release location. Facebook then adds your song to it’s content library and doesn’t allow it to be used. I haven’t quite confirmed whether this doesn’t happen if you exclude Facebook when releasing as a destination? I’m not sure there is anything you can do to change it once they have it flagged though?
Hey there. There are additional services and options for promotion, but DistroKid is mostly focused on distributing your music. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Very helpful, thank you sir! Do you know if the musician plus plan also allows you to access your Spotify profile/iTunes profile as well? I started uploading music years ago thru Tunecore and I never was able to access my Spotify artist page.
Hi Pete I have a few more question. Please tell us which is the best way for us to do. We're just starting with DistroKid also very first time for us selling our music/songs online. Me and my two friends sing together and ofcourse we want to share our revenue, also we wanted to upload our song to our own TH-cam channel. So when my friends upload or sell to DistroKid what will happem for them and how to do is there any way to fix?
Hey there. I would recommend jumping over to my DistroKid FAQ as everything I know is there, as well as links to videos and how to contact DistroKid. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Hey champ quick question. Does my music get distributed to Instagram with the standard plan? Or does it have to be musician plus. Because for some reason I can’t find my music on Instagram
I don’t believe so. But I don’t use TH-cam Content ID personally as I’m not a fan so you might need to reach out to DistroKid. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
@@PeteJohnsMusic Hi Pete Thnx for short & informative video I want to ask 2 questions You told that u cant change label name with musician plan, then why they'll write (I know u told something DK inside video but i didn't get it) If artist name is ABC then will they write (C) (P) ABC or something weird And 2nd question is, Distrokid supports TH-cam content ID monetization things
Hey there. I’m not familiar with Beat Stars and their terms of service. As long as it doesn’t distribute to the same platforms like Apple Music and Spotify.
Can I have upload feature songs in my distrokid if the songs are mine but with different artist ft for different songs. If I have the musician plus. Is there a limit
The featured artist just goes in the title, so I don’t think there’s a limit in features? DistroKid would be able to advise though. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Just signed up today with hope of helping a friend push his music from the uk, my friend is back home in Nigeria. Any update on how to put his music on playlists? Thanks in anticipation
Hey there. I'm not much of an expert on the promotion side, but highly recommend Damien Keyes if you want information about this - th-cam.com/video/7ddRIjMr5Qg/w-d-xo.html
@@PeteJohnsMusic hey pete i have a question so if me and my girlfriend for our first song we get the musician plus plan will it drop the song on her account and my account too ? And then in the future with the same plan we can drop singles as well ?
Hi ! If I upgrade to the Musician Plus plan to add another band/artist, will I be able to have 2 separate email addresses to manage both ? Having the same address for two completely different projects sounds like a nightmare. (I couldn't find anything on their FAQ, and it's impossible to reach them with a request since they now use a Bot supposed to give answers haha) Thank you for your video and your time 🙏
If you want a completely separate experience, I would just add a second Musician plan under a new email address. The Musician Plus plan will be under your same DistroKid account, but will create a new artist name with a separate Spotify Artists page, etc. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Yes, if the channels that are using the video are part of the partner program. If the video is getting as revenue, you’ll get a piece of that through DistroKid. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Thanks for the reply. But most of the channels that use my song in their videos are not TH-cam partners and are not activated for income, although they show ads. How can I not benefit from these ads??
Hey man, thank's for your vid ! I just released my first label on an account with a "musician" program. But i have now a musician plus on another account, can i put my first releases on the new account ? Thank's
If i first bought $19.99 plan and if i want to upgrade to musician plus plan the same year, do i have to pay the whole amount for musician plus plan? Or i will have to add some amount from $19.99?
Hi Pete ... Apologies for being silent for a long time but I have been involved with a few things which I will explain in an email with a new song I have written. Question: If I have Musician Plus (or the Label Plan), aside from my normal artist name, can I have an artist name that is another person - with their permission? I have recently started writing songs for someone and we need to release it soon (I will be emailing you in the next 2 days with more details, a new song I have written for you YML and some potentially exciting news). Tim
Hey Tim. Great to hear from you as always. Yes, you can indeed use the Musician Plus plan to “share” an account with someone else. Just keep in mind that from a tax perspective, a singe entity needs to be named for the account. You can report out on earnings by artist name and then manually split them, but it can get messy if you start making a lot of taxable income. A good problem to have I guess?
Thanks for your reply Pete. I guess what I meant was that if, on my Musician Plus plan, I add another artist name (the young lady who I chose to sing my song - more on this in my email to you later this week), and then release a song under her name .... then I presume that only her name will appear on the music stores as the artist? I hope so, as I want to be in the background on this one! However, if she has her own Distrokid account, and I have mine but also have her as another artist on my account .... will that cause an issue - or not? Further, if I select her 50% and me 50% to share any royalties ..... I believe that she also has to set up a Distrokid account so that she is recognised and the money is sent to her PayPal account on that? Sorry to bother you on this!
Hi Pete Thnx for short & informative video I want to ask 2 questions You told that u cant change label name with musician plan, then why they'll write (I know u told something DK inside video but i didn't get it) If artist name is ABC then will they write (C) (P) ABC or something weird And 2nd question is, Distrokid supports TH-cam content ID things
Hey there. Yes, when you release on the Musician plan, you'll just get DK and then a number as your label name. DistroKid does provide a TH-cam Content ID option for an additional charge. Check out my DistroKid FAQ for more info - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
I’m yes I’ve always wanted a label which is why I have a label account 😂😂😂 I must admit the label account is such good value to be able to have up to 5 artists for someone like me
Another question... Spotify removed a LOT of fair and unfair songs and they blocked new artists to start their careers. So, if you got streams for like 1 month and after that, Spotify removed your song like that, do you still get those royalties u earned before they removed your song?
I'd say stay the he'll away from the wheel of playlist DistroKid offers... I spinned ''12'' I got a huge spike for one day. A bunch of streams and listens from people outside my target audience. Which already sends bad data into Spotify. You'll also get picked up by bot playlists. It's scammy as hell which no one expects from a feature offered by their distributor.
Thanks for sharing the info here Josephine. I’ve never used it a lot and never been in the top 100 even. But yes, anything that gets you in those scammy playlists can be dangerous.
Hi Pete. Sorry I haven’t been here in a long time. I have a girlfriend since two months ago. LOL I’m in love. But still making beats. But yes. On Friday I got two surprises. I got my iPhone 12 mini with 64 GB and I also got my iPhone 12 promax gold 512 GB. I was supposed to get the iPhone 12 promax on December 9 but I got it earlier. It’s cool . But something cool and confusing with the 12 mini. The mixer is on the left Side of the stop button. I thought that since it’s smaller that it was going to be like the iPhone 6s or the iPhone 7 where you have to press the settings to pull up the mixer but no. Is right next to the stop button. Like the new iPhones. That is so cool. I actually bought the 12 mini for my girlfriend. She really needed it. She’s blind too. She’s jumping from the seven to this one. It’s going to be a super exaggeration upgrade for her. And I showed her how to use GarageBand she knows how to make ringtones because of me. But her iPhone 7. The battery capacity is at 70%. 30 to GB So this is gonna be a huge upgrade. Once I get my cases. I’m going to record and I will let you know the experience.
Probably not. They are only really interested in helping you release your music. Most claims like this are related to US tax laws requiring withholding tax for foreign creators.
@@PeteJohnsMusic No this is not about US tax they have robbed me because my bank has been disable by Distrokid. I been withdrawing from 2020 but now when my earning started being better then now they disable my bank WHY?
Bro can i use musician plus cuz i need all those options but I'm alone Is it possible that one artist can register on musician plus? Or 2 artists are important for musician plus

I'm at the moment of completing my album, should I wait until to grab the plus plan?
Yes. Might as well upgrade just before your next major release. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
can I pitch my songs to spotify playlist editors if I have the musician plus plan?
Yup. It’s a good idea in fact because you’ll have more time before the release.

Would my second artist name upload this TH-cam channel or do i have to make another TH-cam and link it with distrokid like i did this one?
Yes, you’ll need a separate TH-cam channel if you want to turn a second topic in to a second artist channel.

Question: If I have Musician Plus (or the Label Plan), aside from my normal artist name, can I have an artist name that is another person - with their permission? I have recently started writing songs for someone and we need to release it soon (I will be emailing you in the next 2 days with more details, a new song I have written for you YML and some potentially exciting news). Tim
Hey Tim. Great to hear from you as always. Yes, you can indeed use the Musician Plus plan to “share” an account with someone else. Just keep in mind that from a tax perspective, a singe entity needs to be named for the account. You can report out on earnings by artist name and then manually split them, but it can get messy if you start making a lot of taxable income. A good problem to have I guess?
Thanks for your reply Pete. I guess what I meant was that if, on my Musician Plus plan, I add another artist name (the young lady who I chose to sing my song - more on this in my email to you later this week), and then release a song under her name .... then I presume that only her name will appear on the music stores as the artist? I hope so, as I want to be in the background on this one! However, if she has her own Distrokid account, and I have mine but also have her as another artist on my account .... will that cause an issue - or not?
Further, if I select her 50% and me 50% to share any royalties ..... I believe that she also has to set up a Distrokid account so that she is recognised and the money is sent to her PayPal account on that? Sorry to bother you on this!
can i feature two other artist with musician plus plan
You can feature artists on any plan as these are just listed in the title. Check details here - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
@@PeteJohnsMusic okay ✅
I’m pretty sure I can do all of these things on my musician plan but only fir 1 artist.
Hey there. The custom pricing, label name, synced lyrics and a few other options are only on the Musician Plus plan. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
why is there no more team earnings on the site??
Is this what you’re looking for? th-cam.com/video/RSME-UlEzfg/w-d-xo.html
Nice video
Thanks my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍

Reach out to DistroKid if there has been an error. Details and link here - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
Pete! Do my eyes deceive me?! Am I able to upload to DK via mobile?!?!
Howdy! I don’t believe so - not yet anyway. I know they are working on a mobile app but don’t think it’s available yet.
@@PeteJohnsMusic it seemed as if it was going to go through when I tried earlier. I’ll try a single in a few and give you an update.
Very cool! Would love to discover that it does. 🙏
content IDとかをアルバムごとに追加オプションで課金したら、結局他の配信会社より高くなったりするのかな
Yeah, some folks on TH-cam have covered this. I like DistroKid. Http://studiolivetoday.com/distrokid.
Hi Pete
Thnx for short & informative video
I want to ask 2 questions
You told that u cant change label name with musician plan, then why they'll write
(I know u told something DK inside video but i didn't get it)
If artist name is ABC then will they write
(C) (P) ABC or something weird
And 2nd question is,
Distrokid supports TH-cam content ID things
Hey there. Yes, when you release on the Musician plan, you'll just get DK and then a number as your label name. DistroKid does provide a TH-cam Content ID option for an additional charge. Check out my DistroKid FAQ for more info - studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thnx for clarification
So for the 35 dollar i can use it with my friend? Im a producer and he is an rapper
Yeah, as long as one of you is willing to manage both artist names.
@@PeteJohnsMusic oh thank you Pete for the answer 😊
I’m yes I’ve always wanted a label which is why I have a label account 😂😂😂
I must admit the label account is such good value to be able to have up to 5 artists for someone like me
Very cool! Sorry to speak for you there. I guess some folks do indeed want their own record label! 😄
Another question... Spotify removed a LOT of fair and unfair songs and they blocked new artists to start their careers. So, if you got streams for like 1 month and after that, Spotify removed your song like that, do you still get those royalties u earned before they removed your song?
I would imagine they will still pay any outstanding royalties, assuming they weren't removed due to any sort of terms of service violation.
WHAT ITHH ITHH???
🤷🏻♂️
I'd say stay the he'll away from the wheel of playlist DistroKid offers... I spinned ''12'' I got a huge spike for one day. A bunch of streams and listens from people outside my target audience. Which already sends bad data into Spotify. You'll also get picked up by bot playlists. It's scammy as hell which no one expects from a feature offered by their distributor.
Thanks for sharing the info here Josephine. I’ve never used it a lot and never been in the top 100 even. But yes, anything that gets you in those scammy playlists can be dangerous.
@@PeteJohnsMusic yes I didn't realize because I trust distrokid 😔
Hi Pete. Sorry I haven’t been here in a long time. I have a girlfriend since two months ago. LOL I’m in love. But still making beats. But yes. On Friday I got two surprises. I got my iPhone 12 mini with 64 GB and I also got my iPhone 12 promax gold 512 GB. I was supposed to get the iPhone 12 promax on December 9 but I got it earlier. It’s cool
.
But something cool and confusing with the 12 mini. The mixer is on the left Side of the stop button. I thought that since it’s smaller that it was going to be like the iPhone 6s or the iPhone 7 where you have to press the settings to pull up the mixer but no. Is right next to the stop button. Like the new iPhones. That is so cool.
I actually bought the 12 mini for my girlfriend. She really needed it. She’s blind too. She’s jumping from the seven to this one. It’s going to be a super exaggeration upgrade for her. And I showed her how to use GarageBand she knows how to make ringtones because of me. But her iPhone 7. The battery capacity is at 70%. 30 to GB So this is gonna be a huge upgrade.
Once I get my cases. I’m going to record and I will let you know the experience.
Great stuff on all counts my fiend. Always a pleasure to hear from you. 👍

Yo.
Distrokid has robbed me 13600$ @
Probably not. They are only really interested in helping you release your music. Most claims like this are related to US tax laws requiring withholding tax for foreign creators.
@@PeteJohnsMusic No this is not about US tax they have robbed me because my bank has been disable by Distrokid. I been withdrawing from 2020 but now when my earning started being better then now they disable my bank WHY?

I hate how technology is making everyone think they are a "musician" because the can click a mouse
On the flip side, I love how technology is lowering the barriers to entry and making music creation accessible to everyone. Swings and roundabouts!
Listen to me if you want to go Darth Vader!
Bro can i use musician plus cuz i need all those options but I'm alone
Is it possible that one artist can register on musician plus? Or 2 artists are important for musician plus
You can definitely use Musician Plus with only one artist name and take advantage of the other features. studiolivetoday.com/distrokid
