Your music. Your money.
We don't take a cent of your royalties. Not a percentage, not a share, not after a threshold. Here's exactly how that works.
read this twiceA lot of artists hear "label" and assume they'll lose a chunk of their earnings. Plenty of labels do take a share. We don't, and I want to show you why you can trust that.
How the money flows
The stores (Spotify, Apple Music and the rest) pay the distributor. The distributor pays us, and we pay you 100% every month, or split it however you and your co-writers agreed on your split sheet. You see every statement. We don't take a cut. Ever.
That's written into the agreement you sign, clause 4: the Label takes no share of your royalties and never receives, holds or pays them. If anything ever lands with us by mistake, we tell you within 5 business days and pass on every cent.
So how do you make money?
Honestly? From streams alone, slowly. A first song shared with friends and family might make a dollar or two. Spotify doesn't pay a track until it has at least 1,000 streams in the last 12 months. To make about A$100 on Spotify you'd need roughly 14,000 to 23,000 streams.
But streams aren't the only money. Songwriter royalties through APRA AMCOS. Radio and TV play through PPCA. Fans paying you directly on Bandcamp, at gigs, for merch. Put together, that's where a lot of independent artists actually earn.
We've put all of it on one page, with real scenarios and the sources linked, so you can see it for yourself.
How we make money
Fees for the work, shown before you pay, in Australian dollars. A release starts at A$19. That's the whole model. No surprises.
