Who it's for
The Artist Partner Program is a separate, optional tier specifically for artists who have already built a verified fanbase of 100,000+ monthly listeners on platforms like Spotify. It's not an entry point for new or growing artists — it's designed for artists who've already reached meaningful scale and could benefit from a higher level of dedicated support.
What's included
- A dedicated account representative rather than general support queue access.
- Prioritized release, payout, and queue processing — Partners' releases and payout requests move faster through our internal pipelines.
- Early access to new store and service integrations before they roll out broadly.
- Priority release pitching support to stores and services for editorial consideration.
- Access to a commercial strategy team for release planning.
- Access to beta features across store and service partners.
- Prioritized placement and support across DistroVibe's own social media and marketing channels.
- Access to ancillary marketing products and services.
How it relates to your subscription
This is the important part to understand: the Partner Program is entirely separate from our standard subscription plans (Artist, Artist Pro, Label). You do not need to be a Partner to distribute your music, and you do not need to reach 100K listeners before you're allowed to release anything. Any artist, at any listener count, can subscribe today starting at $1.99/month and keep 100% of their royalties immediately. The Partner Program is an additional, optional layer on top for artists who've already reached that scale and want the extra support that comes with it.
Royalties under the Partner Program
Partner Program terms are negotiated individually per artist and reviewed case-by-case by our A&R team, since the program involves a different, more hands-on relationship than a standard self-service subscription. This does not retroactively change or affect the 100% royalty guarantee on your standard subscription if you're not in the program.
