IndigoBoom Pioneers Flat Rate Digital Distribution

 












If you’re an independent musical artist, getting your music out on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all the major music retailers is key for connecting to your audience. Until now digital distributors, who act as middlemen to facilitate distribution and royalty collection for artists not signed to the majors, have been offering a complex maze of coded rates, designed to confuse, and suck more cash out of the starving artist.

No Nonsense
Enter IndigoBoom, a brand new company, whose mission statement reads: “Your Music Everywhere”. The goal is simple: What you see is what your get. For $59 a year, you get to distribute all of your music in all relevant digital music stores. This takes the hassle out of trying to figure out complicated pricing structures, allowing the artist to get back to what they love to do, making music. Artist have varied needs. For some it’s all about being heard on the major streaming services. For others, downloads pay the rent. IndigoBoom gives the artist total freedom to choose territories and services for every single release.

Money For Nothing
Using the YouTube “content ID” system, music released by IndigoBoom is recognized, so the system also tracks and matches any music uploaded to YouTube, even uploads done by other YouTubers of your music. In this way, royalties are calculated based on a pro rata calculation of advertising revenues, as offered by YouTube. This is how the stars have been earning money, from other people uploading their tracks to YouTube for some time now. Here’s a system that gives every artist that exact same possibility! The world is truly advancing for content creators these days! So start creating. The audience is listening, and Indigoboom is there to make life easier.
