    I just signed up for Distrokid yesterday after dithering for a year. I have spent the last two years writing and recording and have two full albums with artwork and titles. But i have lived as a reclusive studio zombie for years and litterally know no people nor do i have any social media presence.I don't even own a phone, I'm watching your tutorials , thanks. I'm really not sure what to do next. but my general plan is to releace a single per month till Christmas, then an album. But as i am compleatly unknown i don't even know which Genre i would fit in. Thanks again for the posts, I'll be letting you know how it goes. Hopefully you will give me a bit more advice when I get my toe in the water. All the best.

    Hi, I got a question guys.
    I’m thinking about signing up to Distrokid with my friend and we would like to form a band. When we select the $20 plan where you got 1 artist, can you have two credit cards registered to the one account or not? Because we would like to get payments on eachothers credit card. - If yes, can you also select how many % of earnings each other gets from every song?

    I am planning on making hiphop music - this means I wont get the "UA-cam Money" option - will I still be able to upload 'Official Music Videos/ Lyric Video" on my artist channel? Will I still be able to collect money from monetization if I do so? -- or in general what happens if you upload your singles to UA-cam without clicking the $4,99 UA-cam money option
    Also, I want to make my own 'Official Audio' videos - will they still go to UA-cam Music (if I don't click the UA-cam Music option when I release on Distrokid) or is this only possible if do click the UA-cam Music option -- I only ask because I know Distrokid makes 'Official Audio" videos that are not very aesthetic
    I know its a lot, but a reply would be appreciated

      You or anyone eles can upload your music thats released unless you use the audio tracking feature. The audio tracking detects your music and will notify you if it detects that someone has uploaded it or used it anywhere including UA-cam. You will be sent a notification and then you decide if You want to allow it or if You want it blocked.
