DistroKid inks partnership with music streaming and discovery platform Audiomack

Music streaming and discovery platform Audiomack has secured a partnership with independent music distributor DistroKid.

This is the first time Audiomack has formed an integrated partnership with a direct-to-artist music distributor like DistroKid.

Audiomack now draws more than 17 million monthly active users and is popular in emerging markets, particularly on the African continent.

Warner Music signed a licensing deal with Audiomack for key African territories including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania in November 2020, after becoming the first major label to sign a deal with the platform back in August 2019.

The new integration makes it possible for DistroKid members to connect to their Audiomack account and have their music distributed directly to their artist profile on Audiomack.

DistroKid, which ingests and processes more than 35,000 new tracks every day, says that approximately one-third of new music in the world is distributed by its platform and that more than 2 million artists rely on its platform.

“With this deal, we are giving even more artists the chance to be successful and discover devoted new fans on Audiomack.”

“With this deal, we are giving even more artists the chance to be successful and discover devoted new fans on Audiomack.”

“We’re excited to make it super easy for the millions of artists who rely on DistroKid to seamlessly connect with Audiomack in a powerful & convenient way.”
