The thing that excites me about working with artists is just listening to all of the amazing and unique music that we have coming through. It’s launched in the UK and US and it’s so exciting seeing the labels that are being set up – really cool to see. We can help with release strategy, pre-orders on iTunes, We also offer services like publicity, social media campaigns, pitching for playlists, and will soon be launching our record label in a box product here in Oz which means that people have access to everything they need to start their own label. Our services include digital distribution to online stores like Spotify, iTunes, Apple music, Shazam etc, and setting up of VEVO channels for artists and labels. What specific services do you offer and what excites you about your role and working with artists? I would love to see artists supported financially so that they can do what they do best – make music. Streaming and paid subscriptions are on the rise but there is still an enormous gap and artists usually have to support their music careers with a second job.Īrtists have to figure out where to prioritise their funds, and it’s tricky. People just don’t buy music like they used to – sales are still just going down further. This relates to what I said above but expanding on that, it’s being heard above the noise of all of the other bands out there! There are millions of songs, thousands of blogs, social media is constantly in our faces (if we choose for it to be) so things are fragmented, and it’s hard to cut through it all.Īlso the obvious challenge for most bands is a lack of funds. What is the biggest challenges you think artist face? It’s not easy but it’s more attainable than ever, and people will always love music – that will never change. To be successful as a musician you need to make the music you want to make, decide on your priorities and pathways, educate yourself and continue learning and get a team of professionals around you who also believe in what you’re doing. Simultaneously, it’s challenging because every artist has access to these opportunities. You can control and create and experiment with your own music and get it out there.
#Ditto spotify for artists crack
You can crack the ARIA charts and iTunes charts as an independent artist, and still own 100% of your music. This is both exciting and challenging – exciting because you can get added to a Spotify playlist next to Sia and get a million plays in a week, and your career has taken off. In 2016, independent artists have access to a lot of the same opportunities that major label artists have. How do you help artists realise their dreams? It’s a mixed bag and I absolutely love it – the digital world is always changing and never boring. I do a range of different things from helping artists and labels with questions they have, to project managing international and local release campaigns, to organising partnerships with other companies in the music industry, to pitching for coverage with Spotify and the other stores, to educating artists on how they can best get their music heard. We have a small but wonderful team here in Oz. We are an international company with headquarters in Liverpool in the UK, and offices in London, Nashville and San Diego. What is your role at Ditto and what do you guys do?Īs mentioned I am the manager of the Australian office – we are based in a fantastic music hub filled with other music companies in Collingwood, Melbourne. The Melbourne Ditto team: Anthony Barton, Sarah Hamilton & Vader Fame
For the benefit of those who want to know a little more about the team behind Ditto and what they do, we caught up with the manager of the Australian office, Sarah, to get the scoop and how they are enabling artists to release their music worldwide!
We’ve been well and truly blown away by all the high quality of entrants! (Well done guys) In order to provide such an amazing prize package we teamed up with our buddies at Ditto Music for everything that happens once you leave our studio (including a World Wide distribution package, Social media Starter marketing kit and a one-on-one consultation). In April we launched our I Am Indie competition and we’re very happy to say that we have since been swamped with an amazing amount of unreal applicants.
