UnitedMasters

UnitedMasters is a music distribution company based in San Francisco, California, founded in November 2017 by Steve Stoute. The company focuses on empowering independent artists by providing tools for global music distribution while allowing them to retain full ownership of their master recordings and creative rights. The platform enables artists to upload and distribute their music to over 50 major streaming services through its feature called "Releases." In addition to distribution, UnitedMasters offers advanced data analytics, marketing automation, playlist pitching, and access to brand and sync licensing deals. Artists can use basic tools for free or opt for a premium subscription, UnitedMasters Select, which provides enhanced features like higher royalty rates and faster payments. UnitedMasters aims to revolutionize the music industry by shifting power back to artists, helping them grow their careers independently. The company has secured significant funding and formed partnerships with notable artists and events, positioning itself as a supportive alternative to traditional record labels.
