Free Music Distribution: Five Platforms You Need To Check Out Now

Composing and producing music doesn’t make any sense if people do not consume it, and gone are those days when fans used to buy cassette tapes and CDs to listen on music players. We live in a digital world where most of the music consumption takes place online – mostly on streaming sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Deezer, a considerable amount of downloads from stores like iTunes and Amazon, and in the form of music videos on YouTube.

With all the digitisation in place, it is not really difficult for an independent musician to get their music onto the streaming platforms. That’s when distribution comes into picture!
