Why StreamWays

Distribution built around getting paid correctly

Getting your music onto platforms is the easy part. Getting every dollar and every credit routed to the right person is where most distributors fall short.

Metadata QA

Every release is checked for the ISRC, UPC, and songwriter/publisher details that keep it out of the industry's "black box."

Multi-party payee splits

Add every performer, songwriter, and producer on a release so each of them is credited and paid their share automatically.

Pre-save campaigns

Build hype before release day and drive stronger first-24-hour streaming numbers with built-in pre-save pages.

Smart release links

One shareable page routes fans to Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever they listen, no more juggling five different links.

Genre & trend insights

See which genres and regions are growing right now, so you know where to focus your next release and promo push.

Lyrics distribution

Sync your lyrics to platforms like Musixmatch so fans can follow along wherever they're listening.

Real human review

Every upload gets reviewed before delivery, so your release stands apart in a catalog increasingly flooded with mass-produced AI tracks.

Full ownership, always

StreamWays delivers and administers, we never take a piece of your copyright or your masters.
