BH Media – Vietnam’s Leading Music Distributor

What is music distribution?

Music distribution is the process by which artists, songwriters, and record labels make their music available to the public via digital streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, as well as physical formats like CDs and vinyl records.

Unlike platforms like SoundCloud—which allow anyone to upload music easily—legal streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music don’t let artists upload directly. Instead, they require intermediaries known as music distributors. These distributors ensure the music is formatted properly and accompanied by clear and accurate copyright information.

In addition to professional music distribution services, BH Media offers an integrated ecosystem to help creators grow and protect their content in the digital era.

All About Music Distribution: What Artists Need to Know

What is a music distribution company?

Imagine you’ve just crafted a magical potion—your cherished track—in your secret studio. You want the world to hear it, but you can’t personally deliver it door-to-door, right? That’s where music distribution services come in—the modern-day messengers.

They deliver your music directly to platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, or YouTube, connecting your sound with millions of eager listeners around the world. They are the bridge between your artistic inspiration and the global audience.

In the past, artists needed a record label deal to access professional distribution. Today, digital distribution platforms have leveled the playing field, enabling independent artists to reach global audiences.

What exactly does a music distributor do?

Simply put, a music distribution service is your ticket to the “big stage,” ensuring your songs aren’t just heard but are recognized and celebrated worldwide.

What to Consider When Choosing a Music Distribution Service

You’ve finished your tracks and are ready to share them with the world. Before diving into distribution, it’s crucial to choose the right service. Here are key factors to consider:

1. Target platforms: Know which platforms you want your music on—Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, YouTube, etc. Each distributor partners with different platforms, so ensure your chosen distributor aligns with your goals.
2. Cost structure and copyright policy: Distributors may charge a one-time fee, annual fees, or take a percentage of revenue. Understanding the cost and royalty share is vital to protect your long-term interests.
3. Additional features: Many distributors offer extra tools like playlist pitching, promotional features, audience analytics, and IP rights management. Make sure the service supports your growth.
4. Artist feedback: Other artists’ experiences can offer valuable insights into a distributor’s reliability and professionalism.
5. Customer support: A responsive, effective support team can save time and prevent avoidable issues during distribution.
6. Long-term support: Music is a long-term journey. Choose a distributor that supports you through each career stage—from indie artist to full-scale professional.

Music Distribution vs. Music Publishing

These two terms are often confused but serve different purposes:

Important Notes:

• Some distributors (e.g., CD Baby, TuneCore) also offer publishing services.
• Songwriters can self-publish and register copyright without a publisher.
• Distribution and publishing can happen simultaneously but serve distinct roles with different rights holders.

The Role of Music Distribution Services

As mentioned, artists cannot directly upload music to most platforms like Spotify or Apple Music due to technical and legal requirements—like metadata standards, audio formatting, and copyright documentation.

Music distribution companies serve as intermediaries. They consolidate all necessary release data—track titles, artist names, cover art, authors, copyright owners—and manage a standardized metadata system. This ensures consistency and accuracy across platforms.

A single upload through a distributor sends your music to platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, TikTok, Amazon Music, and more—saving artists significant time and effort.

Financial Role:
Distributors also act as financial bridges, collecting and distributing royalties from streaming platforms, ensuring transparent and timely payments to artists.

Legal Aspects of Music Distribution

Music distribution must comply with several legal regulations to protect artists and consumers:

• Music release definition: Releasing music to the public via singles, albums, or other works.
• Intellectual property rights: Artists own the rights to lyrics, melodies, and recordings. These rights safeguard reproduction, distribution, and performance, ensuring fair compensation.
• Release licensing: Before publishing, ensure all legal permissions are secured—often via record label or distribution contracts.
• Copyright registration: Helps artists and producers legally protect their work in case of disputes.
• Distribution compliance: Distributors must meet product quality standards, transparency rules, and consumer protection laws.

Does Music Distribution Cost Money?

Yes. Distribution costs vary depending on the agreement with the distributor. Typically, the revenue share ranges from 50% to 80% of digital music earnings.
