Getting your music online across major streaming platforms is one of the most important steps in building your audience and earning revenue as an artist today. But each platform has its own rules and pathways, and many don’t let artists upload directly without a distributor.

Verified channel looks professional, collects royalties accurately, and shows legitimacy to both fans and industry partners. Here’s how you do it.
