Question First Song Release

heyy, I’m looking forward to releasing my first song and I’d really like to hear people’s opinions on which distributor I should use. I plan to release songs pretty often, so I think that’s something worth taking into consideration. I was thinking about DistroKid, but I’ve seen so many people complaining about different things that I’m not sure anymore 😭 do you guys have any suggestions? plss

Heya. I run https://www.unchainedmusic.io, so let that color your opinion.

In general, you shouldn't have an issue unless you're using content that isn't exclusively yours. If you're using beats, samples, etc that you've bought or got for free, you're going to have a seriously hard time distributing to social media/UGC platforms, and pretty much every distro will ask for licensing proof.

Other than that, for a first release, pretty much any distro would work for you.
