Question 1

How do I get on ANGVIS Music Distribution?

Accepted Answer

ANGVIS Music Distribution is invite-only. Submit a short application - if accepted, you'll receive an invite code within 48 hours. If a label or contact already gave you a code, sign in directly with it.

Question 2

Does it cost anything to join?

Accepted Answer

No upfront fees. Your exact royalty split is disclosed in full before you sign anything, with a $10 minimum payout.

Question 3

Am I locked in?

Accepted Answer

No exclusive recording contract. Only the tracks you deliver to ANGVIS Music Distribution are exclusive. You can leave with 30 days notice and your rights revert to you.

Question 4

Where will my music go?

Accepted Answer

Stores and streaming platforms worldwide - Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, Tidal, TikTok, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Traxsource, Amazon Music, Deezer and more - delivered through our Create Music Group partnership with priority delivery and WAV-quality audio preserved end-to-end. See the full store list at distribution.angvis.com/stores.

Question 5

Can I move releases from another distributor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can move your back catalogue, all at once or one release at a time. Take each release down at your previous distributor before you submit it here: we can't distribute a release that is still live elsewhere. Use the same ISRC codes (and UPC, if you have it) so your streams, saves and playlist history carry over.

Question 6

What about sync?

Accepted Answer

You pitch your own tracks to the sync briefs we bring in: film, TV, advertising, and games. ANGVIS Music Distribution handles the one-stop license, master and composition together, so a sync partner can clear it in one place. When a track is licensed, fees are split 50/50 and your share is paid alongside your quarterly royalties.

Question 7

Do you collect neighboring rights and publishing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We register your compositions with PROs and your masters with neighboring-rights societies worldwide, and collect neighboring rights, mechanicals, and performance royalties most distributors leave on the table.

Question 8

How and when do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

A detailed Royalty Report at the end of every quarter, with payment roughly 30-37 days later, once we've collected the funds from our distribution partner. No held earnings, $10 minimum payout, and you keep the right to audit our books once a year.

Question 9

What is the EPK?

Accepted Answer

Your Electronic Press Kit is a public artist page hosted at distribution.angvis.com/epk/your-slug. It pulls in your photo, long bio, genres, social links, and booking email - everything a booker or press contact needs in one shareable link.

Question 10

How do I set it up and share it?

Accepted Answer

Open EPK in your dashboard. Once your photo, bio, and slug are in your profile, your EPK is ready. Toggle publish on, copy the link, and send it. You can unpublish at any time.

Question 11

Can I edit what's on it?

Accepted Answer

Yes - everything on your EPK pulls from your Profile in the dashboard: photo, bio, genres, social links, and booking email. Update it there and your EPK updates with it.

Question 12

How does the release plan work?

Accepted Answer

Once your release is approved, a six-phase rollout calendar appears in your dashboard: pre-release runway (T-60 to T-31), amplification (T-30 to T-15), release week (T-7 to T-1), release day, post-release momentum (T+1 to T+7), and long-tail (T+8 to T+30). Each phase has actions tailored to your release type and date.

Question 13

Are the actions the same for every release?

Accepted Answer

No. The plan adapts to your release type and date - actions, copy, and links use your real release context. You can check off what you've done, skip what doesn't fit, and see what's coming up next.

Question 14

Where do I find it?

Accepted Answer

Open Release Plan in your dashboard, then pick the release you want to plan. Each active release has its own calendar.

Question 15

What's in the promo pack?

Accepted Answer

Every approved or live release gets a free promo pack in My Releases: a square post, a Story and a 15-second vertical teaser video (MP4) with your artwork and a clip of your track, which you choose. Milestone share cards appear there too when you earn them: your first release and release day. Every image carries a small "via ANGVIS Music Distribution" mark.

Question 16

Does ANGVIS Music Distribution post for me?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything is created in your browser and nothing is posted or stored: you download the files and post them wherever you like. The images work in any modern browser; the teaser video needs Chrome, Edge or Safari.

Question 17

What is the Collab Pool?

Accepted Answer

A private directory of every ANGVIS Music Distribution artist who's opted in - filterable by role (producer, vocalist, songwriter, instrumentalist, DJ), genre, and location (city, country, region, or worldwide). It's discoverable only to other approved artists on the platform.

Question 18

How do I reach out to someone?

Accepted Answer

Open their card and message them directly through the platform. Conversations stay inside the platform - no need to swap personal contacts to start a conversation.

Question 19

Can I stay out of it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Collab Pool is opt-in. Toggle visibility on or off in your Profile settings. You can browse the pool without being listed in it.

Question 20

What is the Promo Crate?

Accepted Answer

A private promo pool inside the dashboard. Artists send their upcoming releases to other ANGVIS Music Distribution artists who receive promos, so DJs on the roster can play them before release day and send quick feedback. Each promo leaves the crate automatically on its release day.

Question 21

How do I receive promos?

Accepted Answer

New accounts receive promos automatically. If yours doesn't, turn on Receive promos in your Profile (or on the Promo Crate page). You can turn it off any time. You can stream every track in the browser, download the original file, and leave a reaction and an optional comment for the artist. New promos show as a badge in your sidebar, never by email.

Question 22

How do I send my release?

Accepted Answer

Once a release is approved and before its release date, open it in My Releases and choose Send to promo crate. Your dashboard home also asks once, with a one-click send. There is no extra review. You can withdraw it at any time, and you see who reacted, what they said, and how many artists played and downloaded each track.

Question 23

How long is the agreement?

Accepted Answer

One year from acceptance, then auto-renews for additional one-year terms. Either side can opt out of renewal with 60 days written notice before the term ends. You are never locked in for the year, though: you can also end the agreement early at any time with 30 days written notice (see "Can I leave mid-term?" below).

Question 24

What's the actual royalty split?

Accepted Answer

82.5% to you, 17.5% to ANGVIS Music Distribution on streaming, downloads, neighboring rights, and publishing administration. Calculated on what we actually receive from platforms and collection societies, after their own fees.

Question 25

How does sync work and what's the split?

Accepted Answer

ANGVIS Music Distribution holds exclusive one-stop sync authority on your delivered tracks during the term - we license master and composition together for film, TV, advertising, and games. Sync fees are split 50/50, and our 50% is the full commission on that licence (no further deduction).

Question 26

What rights do you actually take?

Accepted Answer

Exclusive distribution and one-stop sync on the specific tracks you deliver, plus exclusive publishing administration of those compositions for the term. You keep ownership of your masters and your compositions - we administer and collect, we don't acquire.

Question 27

Can I leave mid-term?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 30 days written notice from either side ends the agreement, all rights revert to you, and you receive a final royalty report within 60 days. The only carve-out is a short sync sunset window - up to 60 days (extendable to 90) to close sync deals already in negotiation at termination.

Question 28

What if I sign with a record label later?

Accepted Answer

If a third-party label deal requires exclusive distribution of your future recordings, you can terminate the agreement and the rights revert. Existing tracks already on ANGVIS Music Distribution can stay or come back to you depending on what the label deal covers.
