Music distribution in Canada

Music distribution is how an independent artist in Canada gets a finished recording onto the streaming services people actually use. You deliver the master and the metadata once, and the distributor pushes that release to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and every other store on the list, collects the royalties those platforms report, and pays them back to you. DistriBeats Canada does exactly that — with no commission on the Pro plan, no per-release fee, and no clause that takes ownership of your recordings.

The platform is built as an AI-backed, edge-networked console: the dashboard is served from a node close to Canada, so uploading a 200 MB WAV, editing metadata or checking royalties feels instant rather than sluggish. Releases that clear quality control are typically live at stores within three to nine business days, and your catalogue is never removed if a subscription lapses — a policy most competing distributors do not offer.

Every account also gets the extras other services meter separately: DistriLinks smart links with QR codes for promotion, an Artist EPK page for press and bookings, AI playlist pitching drafted from your release metadata, and Aura, our AI support desk trained on 200+ distribution questions with a human docket escalation whenever an answer isn't enough.

How to release your music — step by step

  1. 1

    Create your free account

    Sign up with email or Google, verify your address and pick a plan. Artists in Canada can start on the free Collab Artist tier while it lasts.

  2. 2

    Prepare the master and artwork

    Export a 16-bit/44.1 kHz WAV (or higher) and a square 3000×3000 JPG or PNG cover with no URLs, logos of stores, or blurry text.

  3. 3

    Fill in accurate metadata

    Primary artist, featured artists, composer and lyricist credits, language, genre, explicit flag and release date. Correct metadata is the single biggest reason a release passes QC first time.

  4. 4

    Choose stores and release date

    Select every platform you want, including local services, and set a release date at least seven days ahead so editorial pitching has time to work.

  5. 5

    Submit and track

    Our QC team reviews the release, ISRC and UPC codes are assigned free, and you watch delivery status, streams and royalties from the console.

Why independent artists in Canada choose DistriBeats

Three things decide the real cost of a distributor: the royalty split, whether your catalogue survives a lapsed subscription, and how fast support answers when a release is stuck. DistriBeats keeps the split at 100% on Pro, never deletes releases, and answers instantly through Aura before handing anything unresolved to a human. Add the included smart links, EPK pages and AI pitching, and the yearly cost is lower than the add-on bill on most competing platforms.

Royalties, reporting and payouts

Streaming platforms report earnings on a delay of roughly one to two months. As statements land, they appear in your console broken down by store, country and release, and you can request a withdrawal once your balance clears the minimum. Reporting is transparent — no bundled or unexplained deductions.

Rights, ownership and copyright

You keep the master rights and the publishing. DistriBeats holds a non-exclusive licence purely to deliver your release to stores, and you can request a takedown at any time. Uploading material you do not control — unlicensed samples, other artists' recordings, or fully AI-generated tracks — will fail QC.

Playlist pitching and promotion

Every release can generate an AI-written editorial pitch from its metadata, ready to send to curators, and DistriLinks gives you one shareable page with buttons for every store plus a scannable QR code for reels, posters and stories.

FAQ — Canada

How do I distribute my music to Spotify from Canada?

Create a DistriBeats account, upload your WAV master and 3000×3000 artwork, choose your stores and submit for QC. After approval we deliver to Spotify and 150+ other platforms.

How much does distribution cost?

The Collab Artist plan is free for the first 1000 artists. Pro is a flat yearly fee with unlimited releases under a fair-use policy.

Do I keep my rights and royalties?

Yes. You own your masters and Pro artists keep 100% of streaming royalties.

How long does it take for my song to appear on Spotify from Canada?

Delivery normally happens within three to nine business days after quality control on paid plans. Set your release date at least seven days ahead so stores have time to schedule it and editorial teams can consider your pitch.

Can I release cover songs or songs with samples?

Cover versions are allowed where you hold or obtain the required mechanical licence for your territory. Uncleared samples and unlicensed material will be rejected at quality control.

What audio and artwork formats do you accept?

A 16-bit/44.1 kHz WAV or better for audio, and a square 3000×3000 pixel JPG or PNG for artwork with no store logos, contact details or promotional text.

Will my music be removed if I stop paying?

No. DistriBeats never takes your catalogue down because a subscription lapsed, and there are no legacy release fees.

Can I pitch my release to editorial playlists?

Yes. The console generates a professional editorial pitch from your release metadata, which you can edit, copy and send, in addition to pitching directly through Spotify for Artists.

Do you support labels with multiple artists?

Yes. The Rising Label and Macro Label plans add a roster of artists under one account with shared royalty reporting and invoicing.

How do I get paid?

Royalties accumulate in your console wallet and can be withdrawn to your bank account or UPI once the balance passes the minimum threshold shown on the royalties page.

Can I move my existing catalogue to DistriBeats?

Yes. The Catalogue Migration tool in the console imports your existing releases in bulk with their original ISRC codes so streams and playlist placements are preserved.
