Inside scoop of L.I Music Distribution

Making money from your music by selling CD’s and MP3 downloads has never been easier in South Africa thanks to the power of the internet. Whether you have pressed a few hundred CD’s or just recorded a live version of your gig, it’s now possible to have these sold online in digital stores like, iTunes, Rhapsody, E-Music, Amazon, Tidal, VEVO and many other top music download sites, with the help of L.I Music Distribution which is a digital music distribution company for South African artists.

There are several independent companies that are termed as ‘Aggregators’ for the big online music stores, and what they effectively do is group together all the independent artist’s music for the major download stores and deliver each week a total bundle of content to them. They also take care of collecting the money from the stores when your tracks are sold and pass this money to you. We specialize in distributing music and music videos for mainly local artists in and around Africa. We offer the artist a platform for his/her music to be heard and listened to by their fans all over the world.

We will give you the license to sell your music in digital stores. We have direct deals in place with these entities and can get your music placed in these stores so that the music can be sold all over the world. When you work with L.I Music Distribution you as the artist do not need to be signed to a big record company to market and sell your music to your fans, we give you the choice to be independent and sign up to our easy to use website. You will be required to send your final wave file of the song, artwork and song details. We will then submit your music, and have it sold in these stores and collect the royalties for you and pass up to 100% of the royalties to you. You also keep 100% of your music rights.

L.I Music Distribution also offers marketing tools to artists and will have your music experience a bigger reach and audience. Some big record companies will take a big percentage of each sale and send you the rest; this is of course to cover their service costs such as staff costs to deliver your music, time/ labour etc. We prefer to take a small upfront fee and let you keep a big chunk of the money that the store pays you for your song sales this way, any artist can become very successful from being an independent artist. Bear in mind that the online store also takes a cut from the sale of your music, this is the case with any major record label or music distribution company. L.I Music Distribution Company provide digital music distribution packages that consist of standard, advanced and ultimate plans. These packages will have the artist’s music distributed to every digital music store and the best thing of all, every L.I Music Distribution client get 1000 Spotify streams boosted on every release!
