Distrokid vs Tunecore vs CD Baby | Which Music Distributor Is Best!

What are the pros and cons of using Distrokid, Tunecore, and CD Baby? In the streaming age, it's important to know what your distributor is offering you to best get your music in stores properly and on time. Today I walked through which distributor I find best to use in 2020 as an independent artist releasing music.

So, who am I? For starters, my name is Ian. In 2016, I started making music in my basement. Since that time, I've landed placements on playlists such as Spotify's New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, New Release Today, Rapzilla, New H20, and more, along with hundreds of radio stations across the United States and Europe. My first 3 projects charted in the iTunes top 150, and I've had the opportunity to tour the East Coast twice, work with producers and engineers such as Steve Sola (Mobb Deep, Eminem, Jay Z, The Notorious BIG, Lil Wayne) and Mantra (Future, Rihanna, Lil Yachty, Tory Lanez) and perform and collab on songs with artists such URL Battle Rapper Th3 Saga, Ruslan, Foggieraw, Steven Malcolm, Shope, Paul Russell, Dru Bex, and more. Along with that, I continued my creative journey in video and design, and I currently work full-time as the Director of Media and Marketing for a non-profit here in Rochester along with shooting weddings + events and taking on other freelance video and graphic projects.
