Independent artists, production teams and labels with an existing or planned catalogue. We decide after reviewing the project and confirming the rights to the content.

To global and local services available in the chosen territories: streaming, stores and social platforms. The set may differ by market and content type.

After several closed quarters and a stable income history. The limit and the available amount are calculated individually and repaid from the following reports.
