ABOUT US​

Since many DIY music artists and small indie music labels are partnering with international companies, majors or other "middle man" for their digital distribution, Amplitude distribution founders want to create a local alternative.

​

 

OUR MISSION

 Make digital distribution accessible to local independent artists and labels without generating profits for big corporations. Amplitude distribution strives to be a collective organization at the service of the local music community. 

 

OUR VISION

Our goal is to offer local and self-produced artists a low-cost, transparent, local, and accessible digital aggregator.

 No hidden fees and no false promises.

​

OUR VALUES

​

ACCESSIBILITY :

The founders of Distribution Amplitude's vision is to help artists take better care of their careers by providing a service that is accessible to them and that eliminates the middlemen.

​

TRANSPARENCY :

Pricing and choice of technological partnerships will always be indicated.

​

LOCAL:  

Currently, there are few existing local companies for distribution, which creates an under-representation of independent artists and producers while limiting their ability to get the best service at the best price.

 

We also aim to increase local expertise in digital distribution, allowing local actors to be better informed about business practices.

​

LOW FEES:

Since Distribution Amplitude is a not-for-profit company, the objective is first and foremost to ensure a reliable distribution service at the lowest possible rate. Consequently, if the company's turnover costs decrease, your expenses will also decrease.
