    Thanks for this information. Now, what does "independent artist" mean in this case. I've already got a distributor who does the work of uploading songs in the various streaming platforms for me, an this distributor would also load an EP into the net for me. I want to keep on working together with that distributor as I've only started since May 20 having this work done by it/him.

    Can you talk about how to register your music?, Is it convenient to create your own publishing company or your own record company, to maintain the rights of your music? what is the process after finishing your EP. and before you can upload to the web o digital distributors.

      Everyone starts somewhere so while lots of it seems self evident now for a beginner this could be the clear and straightforward video they needed. The video is obviously not aimed at you so there's not point leaving sarcastic comments complaining that the video wasn't for you. If this is something you enjoy I can just send you some links to peppa pig youtube videos for you to shit on.
