Start with MegaCityVip’s Free Creator Asset Checklist, then explore digital resources built to help creators protect their work, build stronger brands, and monetize with strategy.
DistroKid has been one of the biggest names in independent music distribution. Now that CVC Capital Partners has agreed to make a majority investment in DistroKid, independent artists should not panic — but they should pay attention.
This MegaCityVip explainer breaks down what this kind of music business news should remind artists, creators, and independent labels to think about before uploading music anywhere.
Distribution is not ownership.
Before using any music distributor, artists should organize their release assets, credits, splits, metadata, artwork, masters, copyright notes, PRO information, and marketing materials.
In this video, we cover:
• What happened with DistroKid and CVC
• Why independent artists should pay attention
• Why distribution is not the same as ownership
• What artists should organize before uploading music
• How MegaCityVip’s Protect. Brand. Monetize. framework applies to music releases
MegaCityVip helps artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses protect their work, build stronger brands, and monetize with strategy.
