After DistroKidUpdated July 2026

The song is live.
Nobody heard it yet.

DistroKid did its job: your song is in the stores. Distribution is not promotion. Symphony is the roster of AI agents that runs what happens next.

Where DistroKid stops

DistroKid is the most-used distributor in independent music: roughly 70% of independent artists distribute through it (as of 2026). About $22.99 a year for unlimited uploads, artists keep 100% of royalties, and songs reach stores in one to three days.

DistroKid's job ends when the song goes live. No plan, no ads, no fan list, no release operations. The upload email arrives, the song sits on every platform, and nothing happens next unless somebody makes it happen.

Distribution puts it in the store. Promotion gets it heard.

Maude reads DistroKid statements natively. Upload the earnings file and she reconciles it against your splits and flags what looks off.

The play, step by step

Five agents. One brief.

  1. 01

    Brief Maestro once

    Release date, sound, references, audience. He writes the marketing plan and briefs the rest of the roster.

  2. 02

    Cue wires the release

    Link-in-bio with pre-saves and forever-saves, release checklist, budget tracking, content calendar, lyrics everywhere they need to be.

  3. 03

    Simmy runs the spend

    TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. Daily pacing, creative rotation, and an 8am recap of what moved.

  4. 04

    Echo builds the fanbase

    She maps who is listening, saves your superfans, and writes the email and SMS that keep them.

  5. 05

    Maude reads the money

    When the statements arrive, she reconciles them against your splits and flags what looks off.

  6. Keep DistroKid. Add the team.

Questions

Does Symphony replace DistroKid?

No. Distribution and promotion are different jobs. Keep DistroKid for getting the song into stores; Symphony runs what happens after: the plan, the ads, the fans, and the money.

I uploaded my song to DistroKid. Now what?

Now the business starts. Brief Maestro on the song and the audience, let Cue wire the link-in-bio and pre-saves, put Simmy on the ad spend, and let Echo start building the fan list. Symphony runs all of it from one brief, and your first 200 credits are free.

Can Symphony read my DistroKid royalty statements?

Yes. Maude accepts DistroKid statements along with TuneCore, CD Baby, AWAL, Stem, PRO statements, and publishing admin exports. She tells you in plain English where the money is.

The upload was the easy part.

Brief Maestro on the song you just released and watch the roster go to work. The first 200 credits are free.
