As the music industry continues to shift toward digital platforms, artists and labels are asking the same questions: “How do I get paid from streams?” and “Why do I need to complete KYC?”
Every time your music is streamed, downloaded, or used in content, you earn royalties. But getting that money to your account involves multiple steps:
Music gets streamed (Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, YouTube, etc.)
Platforms report earnings to your distributor
Your distributor collects the royalties
Royalties are split and paid out to you
Why KYC is Required Before You Get Paid
KYC, or Know Your Customer, is a standard security process required by financial institutions and payment providers. It protects against fraud, money laundering, and ensures legal compliance.
KYC verification is:
Simple: Upload a valid ID and proof of address
Secure: We use encrypted systems that follow GDPR and international compliance laws
Fast: Most verifications are done within 24 hours
⚠️ Without completing KYC, royalty payouts cannot be processed — regardless of how much you’ve earned.
Final Thoughts: Get Paid, Stay Compliant
Whether you’re an indie artist or managing a catalog of 500 songs, understanding how money and KYC work in music distribution is essential for long-term success. We make sure your earnings are paid out fast, securely, and with full transparency.
