Unchained Music helps independent artists and labels grow on their own terms. Alongside our DIY music distribution platform, our Artist and Label Services team works as an extension of yours: a full growth team behind your releases, without the lock-in or the loss of ownership that comes with a traditional deal.

Artist and Label Services

We are a growth team for independent artists and labels. You keep your masters, you keep your rights, and we work as partners by choice on rolling terms, not multi-year lock-ins. Royalty advances are available if you want them and qualify. Everything runs day to day with your team in Slack.

What we can support you with:

• A&R and release planning: strategy, scheduling and campaign planning around every release

• Marketing and promotion: paid and organic campaigns, playlist and press pitching, audience growth

• Creative production: artwork, video and content that make a release land

• Video and channels: VEVO, YouTube Official Artist Channels and Content ID, set up and managed

• Rights and royalties: splits, catalog sales, copyright-strike and takedown handling, and royalty administration

• Physical and direct-to-fan: vinyl pressing from our own UK and US plants, plus D2C stores and merch
  

The results speak for themselves. In the year we worked with NASH, monthly listeners grew from 37,000 to 190,000 and streams from 7.8M to 21.3M. We are trusted by artists including Daryl Hall, Dave Stewart and Markus Schulz.

Built on our distribution platform

Every artist and label we work with sits on our distribution foundation: one flat yearly fee, unlimited releases to 150+ stores, and 100% of royalties and rights kept. Real people human-review releases. We also run an AI Mixing and Mastering Studio that puts stronger production in the artist's hands rather than replacing them.

Whether you are an artist ready to level up or a label that needs a bench behind it, Unchained gives you major-label capability with independent economics.
