UnitedMasters: Release Music 12+

This is the future

I’ve really liked that they’ve made their platform so easy to use and readily to distribute music to all the major platforms without jumping through hoops or any underlying incentive and inconveniences that are brought to a lot of artist these days in the shape of false promises and hidden agendas. The concept of owning your music and reaping majority of the financial compensation is a dream for a lot of independent artist that UnitedMasters have fundamentally mastered. I love what Steve Stout is doing for the fast paced and streaming oriented music landscape. Independent artist substantially have more freedom and the access to major streaming platforms. UnitedMasters is not the wave. It’s the future of independence and distribution. 5 out of 5

If I could give zero stars I would! SCAMMERS

Stay far away if you actually care about your music. UnitedMasters try’s to seem like they’re open to helping smaller artists when they actually are just out to scam you and take your money. Please read the reviews on the BBB website and there is a Reddit page that multiple artist write on how UnitedMasters scams them. They like to penalize you based on their google analytics. Employees have stated themselves that they USE GOOGLE ANALYTICS for streaming history. UnitedMasters will take down your music with a quickness if you start gaining traction within the community because to them it’s “inorganic” when it’s not and I put the effort to put myself out there. You have others who are literally buying streams that are not organic but yet UnitedMasters will pay those out! I’ve argued with them, provided them with factual evidence that my streams are organic but they don’t care. It’s happened multiple times and I’ve provided evidence every time just for them to apologize and reinstate my music because they know they’re wrong! This time they didn’t care what evidence I provided and sent me on my way. They took the money I earned this month and my yearly SELECT subscription that I didn’t get to use the whole year because their “google analytics and intuition” was false.

Experience / Terrible service

As an independent artist. I’ve been distributing my music on this app for 3 years on certain streaming plats and got a lot of plays/streams from it too. What upsets me a lot is that for all these years united-masters was supposed to be a free distributor and they took that away from us. And now if you don’t switch to select (aka premium) they can and will remove all your music without paying you. They still owe me $2K dollars. Their service is so terrible and wack. I’ve never been this mad in my life and i don’t want any other artist to go through this. I have completely switched distributors and i’m never using unitedmasters again and i definitely would not recommend anybody else to. If you are an artist especially an upcoming one please use distrokid, amuse, or something! Any distributor that’s not unitedmasters because they do not care about their artist, they are just money hungry and they are scammers. They are making us pay $60 for a plan when there’s literally other distributors that provide you plans for like 25-30 dollars. And way better than this crap
