At RouteNote we provide all of the tools independent artists and labels need to distribute, earn money from and analyse their music online.

RouteNote’s goal is to help unsigned artists and labels upload and manage their music on stores, streaming services and social media platforms. But what helps RouteNote stand out from the crowd? On top of powerful easy-to-use tools, fast moderators, helpful support team and leaving artists with 100% of the rights to their music, our pricing strategy can rarely be beaten.
