What is DIY music distribution and how does it work for independent artists?

DIY music distribution refers to the process where independent artists release and manage their music directly to digital platforms without a traditional record label. Through platforms like A3Tunes, artists can upload their songs and distribute them to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other major streaming services. The process includes metadata tagging, rights management, royalty tracking, and promotional tools—all managed by the artist. This model gives creators full control over their music, branding, and earnings. A3Tunes simplifies DIY music distribution with an intuitive dashboard, global reach, and fast turnaround, helping artists maintain independence while growing their audience.
