E12: Setting Up Your Release and Distribution Plan Part 2 - "Aggregators" (DistroKid, CD Baby, etc) w/ Cullah

In the previous episode, Host Emily White discusses the importance of "direct to fan" distribution as the foundation of building a sustainable music career. The next step on a musician's journey is to distribute to "DSP's" or digital service providers - e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, etc. In the book this podcast is based on, Emily explains when artists should use CD Baby and when Tunecore is the right fit. Since its publication Emily has been asked by musicians how DistroKid fits into the space. This episode explains exactly that. Our episode's guest is Milwaukee based musician Cullah, who has been releasing an album a year on his birthday since he was 15. Now 30, Cullah recently released his 15th album 1/2, as he has been releasing music for half of his life. Emily and Cullah discuss aggregators and dig into how Cullah is building a sustainable music career Happy listening! Check out Cullah at Cullah.com & @CullahMusic Questions?
