Amazing video! As someone who is about to release their 1st song using Distrokid this was extremely informative and EXACTLY what I needed to see. Porps on breaking things down how you did. Keep up the dope content! #YupYup

[@ZigZagProductionStudio]

Glad to help!

[@karennoid]

Thanks so much for this video. How would you classify a reggaeton song? Also, when do I add actual producer credits? Does that happen after I upload the song?

[@BradleyMcknight]

Hi, recently, I did a song with another artist and released it under my DistroKid account, making sure to add their data correctly when it came to the artist mapping section. It appeared on all of their artist profiles on streaming services as well as mine including places such as Amazon, Amazon music, however, I did notice that it wasn’t uploaded to their official artist KZbin channel as an art track, it was on mine as being the artist that uploaded it from DistroKid, but I couldn’t find it on the featured Artists official artist channel. Is this something to do with how they profiles were set up, or is it a DistroKid thing?

[@BigMyth312]

This channel is essential

[@ZigZagProductionStudio]

Glad to help!

[@dprice2800]

Suppose you have a different genre of music to release, would you consider creating a separate artist for each or use the same one? for instance, Rock, Pop, Country, etc.

[@thealternatenow]

Is KZbin Music the same as a KZbin channel for what you need to put in to either featured artist or main artist KZbin section?

[@SykeThrone]

im readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@Seraluz]

so if i select 7 tracks to make sure its an album / ep ,but i wanna release them one by one - I just let all those fields of the rest of the 6 tracks free for now? want to release one adding up to thealbbum every 2 weeks

[@aufumusic1510]

thank you for making this video. i want to start using distrokid for my songs. i already have some of my songs in all platforms, but i use a a company platform to achieve that. now that i want to release new songs which will make up album, and i want to set it up myself using distrokid. what's the way forward fo me?

[@OiG_GEMiNi]

When distro kid distributes your music to Spotify, does it automatically go in a Spotify playlist for new songs/genre of somg? or is it simply on Spotify and then people have to search your song to hear it?

[@radimpetrskovsky6568]

Hi, I got a question guys. I’m thinking about signing up to Distrokid with my friend and we would like to form a band. When we select the $20 plan where you got 1 artist, can you have two credit cards registered to the one account or not? Because we would like to get payments on eachothers credit card. - If yes, can you also select how many % of earnings each other gets from every song?

[@Clay787]

how do I upload a collab? every time I try to add a collab it always appears as featuring

[@ShaunaMY1]

For the artist section as a songwriter only, do I still put my name there or should I put the singer stage name instead?

[@InsaniousTV]

Hello, I'm plan to release only my music via distrokid artist plan but also i have idea and logo for my label can i use my new label name for my first release and later just approve label on Beatport?

[@gustavotolotti9674]

Hi, i have a question. Am i obligated to put my real name in the compositor tab? I really don't want to do that, is it possible to just use my artist name in Distrokid?

[@AkaNavario]

I just uploaded a music video on DistroKid.. will it upload to KZbin?

[@user-of6er3gh5d]

Ps I appreciate these videos… I will be using your suggestions… Distro kid as my distributor and Songtrust as my publishing admin

[@shinezacharias3118]

hi zig zag ur videos are very helpful ....if its record plan n other extra should i pay all amount in front or they take monthly

[@ZigZagProductionStudio]

depends on the extra itself

[@shinezacharias3118]

[@shinezacharias3118]

suppose am record plan level n using legacy so how it will be pay monthly or at one shot @@ZigZagProductionStudio

[@ZigZagProductionStudio]

one shot with leave a legacy

[@user-of6er3gh5d]

Hi… I am releasing a song(rock duet) with co-writers The singers are session singers… Who will only get a very small royalty for being featured artists In this case For artist name/band name should I use one or both of the singers names?? Or should I put my business entity, which is KSong Music? It’s a little confusing because all the songs that I will be releasing will be through KSong Music… I will be writing and releasing them and basically hiring the singers for all the songs I hope I’ve explained this thoroughly enough for you The singers are session singers

[@lsgordetor]

If you buy a beat as an mp3 and use it does it have an affect wgen it comes to distro Z

[@davidarvy3662]

No it doesn't. You can use any format on your project and use the samples creatively. What couts is how you export the final version. Still, distrokid accepts even .mp3 as final version too. (They recommend Wave 44.1kHz).

[@GooseTCB]

Is there a way to add an additional artist to the song without it saying “feat.” in the title?

[@BradleyMcknight]

There should be a way to change this, if you go to the release that you want to change it for and click on edit release, then scroll down until you get to the title section, then you will see where your featured artist is. And there should be an option somewhere down there to change it from a featured artist to an additional primary artist or remixer in the option menu.

[@jscotofficial]

Hey zig why don’t my lyrics synchronize with the audio after weeks of uploading and bring accepted

Step 0: Don’t use Distrokid

[@hrvstmusic]

If you don't pay the additional 24.99 per release for each release when you close your distrokid account or stop paying the yearly fees your music goes poof@Memories_albums

[@Pedro_UrMommyDestroyer228]

Why? I mean, really, why?

[@we_rebel]

Because it’s an annual membership for the rest of your life.

[@jxcstxsy_13]

Hey I'm starting a new youtube channel and want to release songs under the new name and make the mew channel into an OAC using the same Distrokid account. But, I don't know how to change where my uploads on DistroKid go when uploaded to youtube. Please help 🙏🏼

[@ZigZagProductionStudio]

you have to change your artist name first, then merge them

[@jxcstxsy_13]

@@ZigZagProductionStudioSo if I change my artist name on Distrokid, it will remove my oac from my other channel? Or will it just create a new oac for this channel. Fyi I have musician plus so I can have up to 2 artists. Thanks for you help I really appreciate it, without your help I wouldnt be able to figure this out. 😆
