Music Distribution for Record Labels
LabelGrid is a music distribution and catalog platform built for record labels to run their label, not just upload tracks. You get a multi-artist catalog, automated artist payout accounting, a real review and claim layer, and higher royalty retention — delivering to all major DSPs from one dashboard, with transparent statements for every artist on your roster.
THREE PILLARS
What Does a Record Label Need From a Distributor?
LabelGrid combines the three tools every independent label needs — distribution, accounting, and catalog management — so you never juggle separate platforms again.
SERVICES FOR LABELS
What services does LabelGrid offer record labels?
LabelGrid is the back-office that lets a record label run its whole catalog from one platform:
- Distribution to all major DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Deezer and more)
- Royalty accounting with automated splits and per-artist statements
- Multi-label catalog management — a separate workspace per imprint
- Real-time streaming and royalty analytics
- A white-label REST API to run distribution under your own brand
- Delivery for Merlin Network members via SOBO — Merlin negotiates the deals, LabelGrid delivers the music using your own DSP deals, so you keep 100% on those SOBO and direct deals and stay in control of the licensing relationships
ROYALTY MANAGEMENT
How Does Artist Payout Accounting Work?
Generate detailed royalty statements for every artist on your roster. Configure royalty splits at the track, release, or label level — then let LabelGrid calculate each party’s share automatically when DSP payments arrive. Pair it with the full accounting tools to track expenses and recoupment per artist.
Every statement breaks down revenue by platform, track, and territory. Export as CSV or PDF and deliver on your schedule. Your artists see exactly where their money comes from — no black boxes, no spreadsheets.
BUILT TO GROW
Scale Your Roster
Start with a single label and scale to dozens — plans grow with your roster. No per-release fees, flat annual pricing.
Every plan includes distribution to all major DSPs and full royalty accounting. Multi-label portals give each imprint its own workspace with separate catalogs, artist rosters, and royalty reporting. No per-release fees — flat annual pricing that scales with your business.
MARKETING TOOLS
Promote Every Release
Smart links, Spotify pre-saves, gated downloads, video generation, and a WordPress plugin that turns your website into a promotional hub — all integrated directly into your distribution workflow.
Create a single link that routes fans to their preferred streaming platform. Collect pre-saves before release day. Gate downloads behind email signups to build your mailing list. Every promotional tool connects to the same catalog you distribute.
DEMO MANAGEMENT
Accept and Manage Demos
Accept demo submissions from artists through a branded portal. Review tracks with cloud-based audio playback, manage your A&R workflow, and respond with reply presets for fast communication.
Demo status tracking keeps submissions organized. Every file stored in the cloud — no email attachments, no local folders. Your team reviews and responds from within the same platform you use for distribution.
NEED MORE INFRASTRUCTURE?
Running a Distribution Operation?
If you manage labels on behalf of others, need API access for programmatic distribution, or want to launch a white-label platform — LabelGrid has a dedicated offering for distribution companies.
SOBO delivery for your own DSP deals. Full REST API with sandbox environment. White-label platform so your clients never see LabelGrid. Multi-label management at scale.

CONTENT PROTECTION
Your Catalog Protected in the AI Era
AI platforms want access to music catalogs. Labels need to know exactly how their content is handled. We’ve written specific AI protections into our Terms of Service: clear definitions, delivery controls, and a distribution license that covers distribution only.
Manage AI delivery at both label and release level. Your artists can trust that their work won’t go to AI platforms without explicit consent.
