Artist Education
Distribution is not a record label.
They can work together, but they are not the same thing.
Music distribution
Focuses on delivering recordings and metadata to digital services, plus the operational workflows around releases and catalog reporting.
Record label
May provide broader artist development, financing, marketing, creative direction and other services depending on the agreement.
The control question
Independent artists should read the actual agreement and understand ownership, licensing, commissions, term and termination provisions. Never choose a platform based only on a headline percentage.
Where NEXO fits
NEXO is built around distribution for independent artists and labels, with royalty workflows and publishing support. See distribution or explore artist services.
