Everything you need to know about TLG Direct vs the competition.
You're not paying for distribution — you're paying for transformation.
TuneCore ($24.99/year) and DistroKid ($49.99/year) are cheap because they're automated platforms. You upload, they distribute, done. You get zero support.
TLG Direct ($25/mo + $49 activation) is an investment in YOUR career. Here's what you actually get:
The math is simple: If TLG Direct helps you get 10x more streams than TuneCore, you're making 10x more money. The $300/year investment pays for itself in the first month of increased revenue.
Yes, absolutely. You can switch anytime. Here's how:
Pro tip: Many artists keep their old releases on their current platform and start new releases with TLG Direct to test the difference. You'll see the results immediately.
No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime.
We don't lock artists in. If you're not seeing results after 3 months, you can leave. Your music stays on all platforms — you just stop paying us and can move to another distributor.
But here's the thing: Most artists see measurable results in the first 2 months:
We're confident enough in our results that we don't need contracts. Your success is our success.
We have all the benefits of a label with NONE of the downsides.
Traditional Record Label: Takes 50-80% of your royalties, owns your masters, controls your career, you're locked in for years.
TLG Direct: You keep 100% of royalties, you own your masters, you control your career, cancel anytime.
We're positioned between an independent artist and a major label. You get the infrastructure, support, and investment of a label without giving up control or ownership. It's the best of both worlds.
Spotify for Artists only lets you upload to Spotify. You miss out on 199+ other platforms where your fans might be listening:
Plus, a distributor handles: Metadata management, ISRCs, royalty collection from all platforms, playlist pitching, analytics across all stores.
You could DIY Spotify, but you'd miss 95% of your potential revenue. That's leaving money on the table.
Think of it like this:
Public Pool (Other Distributors): Thousands of artists, zero attention. You upload your music and hope someone finds it. No strategy, no support, no growth plan.
Private Pool (TLG Direct): Curated group of artists. Hands-on attention. Real strategy. Monthly trainings. Marketing investment. A team that's in the trenches with you.
We're selective about who we work with because we invest real resources into each artist's success. You're not a transaction — you're a partnership.
Look at our artist results. Check out our success stories section — real artists with real metrics showing stream growth, revenue increases, and audience expansion.
Here's what we guarantee:
If you follow our guidance and implement what you learn in training, your streams will grow. It's not magic — it's strategy + execution + support.
Perfect. That's actually our goal for many artists.
TLG Direct is designed to get you industry-ready. When you're ready to sign with a major label, you'll have:
Major labels want artists with momentum and professionalism. We build that for you. Many of our artists have gone on to major label deals — and they still use us for distribution and A&R guidance.
You'll see results immediately, but real growth takes time.
Week 1: Your music is on 200+ platforms. You get your first dashboard insights.
Month 1: First training session. You learn your first marketing strategy. You see initial stream data.
Month 2-3: A&R review. Catalog feedback. You implement improvements. Streams start increasing noticeably.
Month 4-6: Momentum builds. Playlist placements increase. Creator network activations happen. Revenue grows.
Month 6+: You're seeing 3-5x stream growth compared to before TLG Direct. Revenue is real. You're building a sustainable career.
The key: It's not overnight, but it's measurable and consistent.
All plans include the same core features: Global distribution, analytics, training, A&R review, catalog reviews, artist development, creator network access, 100/0 splits.
Monthly ($25/mo + $49 activation): Perfect for testing. Month-to-month flexibility. Full access to all core features.
Annual ($249/year): Best value. Save $51 vs monthly. Includes priority support and quarterly strategy sessions.
2-Year ($349/2 years): Serious commitment. Save $251 vs monthly. Includes everything in Annual PLUS marketing investment fund for your releases.
Bottom line: Pick the plan that matches your commitment level. All of them are incredible value.

DistroKid: "Upload your music fast and keep 100% of earnings." It's a transaction-based platform.
TLG Direct: "Build your career with training, feedback, and marketing support." It's a partnership-based ecosystem.
DistroKid is great if you just want your music on Spotify. TLG Direct is better if you want to grow as an artist.

Choose Growth Over SpeedArtist development is the process of transforming a talented musician into a professional, industry-ready artist. It includes training, feedback, production support, and strategic guidance. Here's everything you need to know.
Artist development is the comprehensive support system that helps musicians grow from bedroom producers to professional artists. It includes:
Most major record labels have artist development teams. Independent artists traditionally had no access to this. Now, platforms like TLG Direct bring artist development to independent musicians.
The difference is massive. Artists with development support grow 3-5x faster than those without it.
You have music but no strategy. This stage focuses on setting up your infrastructure, getting your first release on streaming platforms, and establishing baseline metrics.
Monthly training sessions on marketing, release planning, and branding. A&R reviews your catalog. Creator network activation begins.
Your music is getting heard. Now we develop YOU. Professional production support, music videos, and strategic content creation.
You're now industry-ready. We leverage platform connections to open doors with major labels, playlist curators, festival bookers, and brand partners.
A&R professionals evaluate your music and provide honest, actionable feedback. They identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. This is invaluable for emerging artists.
Monthly training sessions on topics like music marketing, branding, release strategy, playlist pitching, and business fundamentals. Most independent artists never receive this education.
Access to professional mixing, mastering, music video production, and studio time. This ensures your music sounds competitive with major label releases.
Strategic marketing support including playlist pitching, influencer reactions, social media strategy, and paid promotion. This drives streams and audience growth.
Connections to producers, engineers, influencers, playlist curators, and industry professionals. Your network is your net worth.
Strategic advice on career decisions, release timing, branding, and long-term positioning. This prevents costly mistakes.
Not all artist development services are equal. Here's what to look for:
Music Distribution: Gets your music on streaming platforms. That's it. No support, no feedback, no guidance.
Artist Development: Includes distribution PLUS training, feedback, production support, marketing, and career guidance.
Most independent artists only use distribution platforms. That's why most plateau. Artist development is what separates successful artists from struggling ones.
Here's what happens when artists get real development support:
The key: Artist development creates momentum. It's not overnight success, but it's consistent, measurable growth.
