Where SONO distributes your music online
SONO music distribution partners list
At SONO we also do music distribution, and we take it seriously. We’re not aggregators, or automatic distribution services that distribute every track without even listening to it, not caring about releasing an high quality project.
Our team at SONO it’s truly dedicated to projects we’re working on, and this creates a sort of trust by Spotify, Apple Music and all other DSPs.
We’re now getting into Web3 with music NFTs, developing an in-house system to create and mint music on the Blockchain, giving artists the chance to make and own their digital assets.
Below we listed some of our top partners… they’re not all, we’re constantly updating.
