Dream Big. Get Noticed.
100K Distribution isn’t an open-upload platform.
We work with artists who are serious about growth, understand investment, and are ready to be evaluated at an industry level.
By distributing through 100K, your music enters a system backed by and aligned with EMPIRE’s standards, data tracking, and professional infrastructure — not a self-serve upload site.
Our Mission: Build Artists That Last
100K Distribution exists to help independent artists build sustainable careers, not just release songs.
We focus on:
• Quality control
• Market data
• Long-term strategy
• Realistic growth plans
Distribution is the foundation — not the finish line.
No Sign-Up Fee — But There Are Standards.
• Your music must meet EMPIRE’s quality and compliance standards
• You must be willing to invest in yourself as an artist
• Distribution is not guaranteed without passing review
This ensures our catalog remains professional and competitive.
How 100K Distribution Handles Your Releases
100K Distribution is built to support serious artists like a label, without taking control of their music. While our self-serve upload system is being developed, releases are currently managed via email.
This process ensures your releases are handled professionally, helping you build a strong reputation in the industry while growing with 100K Distribution.
Required Market Test (New Artists)
Before full rollout, all new artists must complete a Market Test:
• 3 songs submitted for testing
• $25 per song (marketing + data evaluation) (other fees may apply.)
• Used to measure engagement, audience response, and readiness
This data allows us to:
• Identify strengths and gaps
• Determine realistic growth potential
• Build a custom investment plan
This is not a “pay to upload” fee it’s a strategic test used to show you results of marketing and promoting at a small level.
Artists must commit to their plan to remain in distribution
