FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions –

Please review ALL of these FAQs before submitting your project.

Do you accept all titles? – No, we review all titles. We are selective on who we chose; however, we are open to all categories. We are selective in ensure the integrity of our label. We will notify you either way.
Do you accept mixtapes? – Yes we do ONLY if it’s all original music. You cannot submit a song that is owned by someone else. You are responsible for clearing all of your own samples, industry tracks, or other people’s music. You must OWN the tracks and not lease them. We only accept lease tracks from www.maxxbeats.com.
Do you provide artists with original tracks? – Yes, we can through our partner company Maxx Beats. The reason we only take leases from www.maxxbeats.com is because we work very closely together, so if there is any type of Copyright strike, we can quickly get it removed. You can lease instrumentals for under $30.00 or buy outright for an extremely affordable price. You can sell both options through our distribution.
Is there a set-up fee? – Yes, if you are selected, we do have a small one-time set-up fee. It ends up being much cheaper than distributing through the “Do-It-Yourself” companies because they charge you ever year while we are only a one-time fee. There are no monthly, yearly, or additional fees ever.
How big is your reach? – Since we distribute through the world’s largest distributor, we have the largest independent reach possible reaching up to 700 digital retailers including iTunes, Amazon Google Plus, Tidal, Spotify, Deezer, Jukeboxes, Libraries, Radio Stations, cars, cell phones, and many more.
How many clients do you currently have? – We currently have about 1700 titles and growing. We also personally have spoke to all of our artists or labels. A one-on-one relationship is very important to our brand. We have some very established names signed to us as well as upcoming independent artists. However, we treat all of our clients the same. Independent artists benefit form being on the same distribution company as many established artists.
How often do you pay out? – We pay out every quarter as long as you net over $25.00 that quarter. If not, the balance rolls over to the next quarter until it accumulates $25.00.
Do you guys take leased tracks? Yes and no. We ONLY take leased tracks from www.maxxbeats.com. Otherwise you must own the master copy of the track. The reason we do this is because if someone leased the track before you and put it up for distribution, we can get in trouble through the digital retailers. For this reason, we only work directly for MaxxBeats for leases. Visit their site to lease tracks for under $30 a track.
Does signing to WHOMAG Distribution guarantee me sales? – Absolutely not. We open our outlets to a selected group of artists, but they are responsible for their own promotion. We are not a record label. We are not a promotional company. Our responsibility is to get your finished project in every possible digital retailer worldwide. It’s your responsibility to drive traffic to those sights to get sales. We do help in some aspects including adding to our Spotify and Tidal playlists, but it is up to you to promote your own music
