Before You Submit Your Music to Radio...

Getting your music played on the radio is exciting. But before you start sending your music to radio stations, DJs, and other outlets, there are a few things you need to understand.

Uploading your music to DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, or another distributor does not mean you have everything covered.

A distributor gets your music onto services such as Spotify and Apple Music. That is important, but distribution is only one part of the music business.

If you want to put yourself in position to collect royalties when your music is played, you need to understand who collects what.
