BandLab Adds Free Music Distribution, Members Keep 100% Of Royalties

(hypebot) – BandLab has added free digital music distribution for its paying members alongside a growing list of music creation and marketing tools.

BandLab touts 60 million registered users for its free DAW and mastering app.
Membership in BandLab costs $14.95 per month, but artists retain 100% of ownership and royalties in addition to free distribution. BandLab membership also includes a growing list of performance, mentorship, and networking opportunities and marketing tools, including Fan Reach, a feature that lets fans subscribe to personalized updates and exclusive content from artists.
Both Kevin Breuner and Chris Robley recently joined BandLab from the artist services side of CD Baby, so we expect more new services and opportunities in the coming months.
