CD Baby Rocks!



During this Entertainment Media Publishing and Distribution course Eat Full Sail University we have been recently working on a Collaboration Google doc project.  One of the most interesting topics I’ve discovered while sharing useful information is CD Baby.  This aggregator is one of the most reliable and trusted media websites for independent artists worldwide.  

Independent artists can gain lots of exposure and new ways to reach their fans and the masses.  The artists music can be distributed via music sites like Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon once the music is added to CD Baby website.  Breaking the cycle of having artists have a record deal before music can be distributed is what CD Baby does to the independent artist community.  Through the CD Baby services artist can register their music and royalties will be paid to the artist.  

Music Licensing is also provided to the artist from the PRO package offered in the website.  Other service CD Baby provides is the sale of UPC codes that can be sold via their website, this helps to sell your CD’s through major retail stores that still sell CD’s.  The one-time distribution fee include five main services that are ready to use and include MusicStore for Facebook, Sync Licensing, physical distribution through Amazon, iTunes trending reports, and the highest digital payout of any major retail store.  

The services offered to new and independent artist offers them a big opportunity to succeed in the music industry.  About ten years ago it was nearly impossible for artist to have this freedom with their music unless they have a record company behind them controlling every move.  The independent artist of today has the option to reach the world while having their music protected and properly licensed.  There is a lot of potential that an independent artist can become successful in the music industry with the help of CD Baby.
