What is Maia Distro?
Maia Distro is a digital music distribution platform that enables musicians to deliver music to all the top digital music stores. These include Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, TIDAL, and many more.
How much does it cost?
Only $19.99 to upload unlimited songs and albums for a year.
What do I need before I start?
Sign up with your email address and follow the step by step process. You will need your audio in WAV format, as well as artwork to the specifications of 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG format.
You will have probably seen or worked with other companies that accept MP3. We do not accept MP3s at Maia Distro and ask clients to send us the best quality music possible, which is a WAV file.
Do you provide ISRC codes and barcodes?
Barcodes and ISRC codes are free, you can enter your own in the metadata or leave it blank and our system will automatically create one for you.
Can I release a cover song?
If you would like to release a cover song then please bear in mind that you will need a license or permission from the original copyright owners to release a cover. Artists and labels should obtain this license separately for themselves. We cannot distribute a cover for you until we have proof that you have purchased the appropriate licenses.
Can I use a custom record label name
Yes, we do not charge you for using a custom label name you just need to enter your label on the correct section on Maia Distro. We also do not charge extra for setting up a pre-order, YouTube / Soundcloud protection, barcodes and ISRC codes.
These services are free of charge because they can all be done for free. Consequently, Horus Music do not charge you for these and has no plans to do so!
When do I get paid and how?
All artists and labels at Maia Distro are paid as we complete our accounting on a monthly basis. Our aim is to pay you as quickly as possible.
As long as you have received downloads or streams of your music during a given a month, you will receive your royalties as we complete our accounting.
Please note, that many stores take up to 3 months to account to us, so when you first sign up there may be a 3 month delay before you receive your royalties, but you can still log in to your account on Maia Distro so you can keep track of your sales and know how much you can expect to receive.
We pay our royalties safely and securely through Western Union. If you have not signed up to Western Union, we are unable to pay your royalties so please make sure this process is completed at the earliest opportunity.
The payment threshold depends where you are based. If you’re not in the UK there is a £10.00 minimum threshold (due to bank conversion fees etc). For UK based clients there are no minimum payouts.
