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

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

Hi Yrn Shxrd, it looks like our team wrote to you on September 14 and September 21, to clarify your rights in material you had distributed, and we never heard back from you. Not to worry! Our team will reach back out again, so please keep an eye out for our email.

Just Don’t

I would give United Masters a lower review if I could. I was just double charged for being a “Select Artist”, after I reached out to Support over a week ago to tell them that their billing info was incorrect. Earlier this year I tried releasing a cover record, and was instantly denied by the website for using an artists name in the Writers section that wasn’t my own.

Their support team is absolutely dreadful. Half of my EP wasn’t distributed to Facebook’s audio library. When I asked them redistribute in an email, someone reached out to me two weeks later and said the EP would get released to FB; it hasn’t.

They rely on a glitzy social media page, and “partnerships” that really do nothing for artists to encourage new sign ups. However the actual support artists get is dreadful. Despite being a “Select” artist, my billing is still incorrect, and I’m still getting 80/20 and 90/10 splits on my royalties. This month, my royalties from major DSP’s weren’t even reported. Just absolutely miserable. Choose an actual distributor.
