3/8/2021 - Pioneering industry disruptor Artist Republik announces a major change to their distribution service, positioning them as a leading distributor in the music industry. Having already established themselves as a go-to marketplace for indie artists, they are ready to offer yet another service to make musicians’ life a little bit easier. When compared to independent distribution services like Distrokid, Artist Republik proves that they can offer lower annual rates for more artists as well as access to new stores and DSP’s for no additional cost. This includes Spotify verification, royalty splits and access to all of Artist Republik’s promotional tools. Much like the release of their ticketing hub and access to custom merchandising, CEO and Founder Nick Cianfaglione saw a void and filled it by creating tools that allow artists to empower themselves by staying independent. Recognizing the creative limitations that come with high annual fees, Artist Republik decided to introduce a more affordable service to encourage artists to continue to release music without constraint.
Artist Republik’s improved distribution model comes off the heels of the launch of Elite Reviews.
The ‘name your price’ platform features music reviews from high tier Hip Hop acts like Hopsin, YONAS & Sammy Adams as well as Nickelodeon’s Kira Kosarin, Taking Back Sunday’s Fred Masherino, Emmy award winning singer-songwriter Alex Preston, Jez Dior and many more. Claiming their spot as the ‘go-to’ resource for industry accessibility, Artist Republik presents a full stack of tools to help you grow, retain and market directly to your fanbases. Their new distribution tools kick things up a notch making it easy to take care of all of our needs in one place. The new features also include unlimited co-releases, customized releases dates and pre-save links for promotional efforts.
Music distribution can be a crowded market. And in a year like 2020 when shows are shut down and artists are stuck at home, a reliable distributor is in high demand. Artists are creating and producing music at a rapid rate and in order to stand out as an in-demand’ distributor, companies have to remain competitive. This is what sets Artist Republik’s offerings apart. Their distribution service initially launched in late 2020, pairing the announcement alongside their newly inked partnership deal with digital audio workstation Soundbridge. The deal, which enabled over 200k monthly SoundBridge users enabled integrated distribution through Artist Republik’s platform, received high praises from All Access, EDM Insiders as well as an upcoming in depth interview with the Founder to CEO podcast. Having previously received attention from Forbes to announce rapper Hopsin’s joining their board of directors, it’s clear that all eyes are on industry disruptors like Artist Republik right now.
About Artist Republik: Artist Republik broke the mold this year with its debut of a new indie music business marketplace valued at over $5M and counting. Its simple yet pioneering tech-driven premise caught the eyes of major industry players like independent rapper Hopsin as well as top investors David Beirne (a founding general partner of Benchmark Capital, known for lead stakes in eBay, Twitter, Instagram, OpenTable and Juniper Networks) and respected pro-sports and Hollywood wealth advisor Humble Lukanga. CEO and Founder of Artist Republik Nick Cianfaglione chose to introduce the new talent-controlled platform to return career control and expenses back to the artist.
Their 50,000 users are committed to this platform because of its all-inclusive offerings. Its one-stop shop format makes it easy for the artist to navigate their needs while keeping everything, including distribution, all in one place. Cianfaglione plans to widen the opportunity funnel by enabling self-represented music talent and industry stakeholders to sidestep controlling agents, gatekeepers and management when it is not necessary. Its value proposition for the burgeoning $2B global indie music industry (Raine Group Forecast, Rolling Stone, March 16,2020) transforms how performers, musicians, technicians, producers and venues support vendors by creating direct business connections, spending less on marketing, and by retaining more revenue. "The indie music industry needed its own 'LinkedIn meets ASCAP' social community to affordably bring talent together to make deals." explains Founder Nick Cianfaglione, "Artist Republik accelerates this business building by dismantling industry conventions that bottlenecked careers." According to Cianfaglione, his company's beta enrollment of 30,000 users worldwide is proof that music self-distributors and boutique music labels were missing a dedicated marketplace hub.
Artist Republik is free to join and allows users to use all of the resources they need in areas such as production, distribution, marketing, live shows and more.
