The music industry has seen transformative changes in the last century, but nothing as revolutionary as online music distribution companies. The new platforms have redefined the way artists release, promote, and monetize their work, opening up a more inclusive and dynamic industry. Gallery Vision is leading this evolution by helping independent artists and labels understand this digital landscape with unprecedented efficiency and support.
Journey Down the Road
Music distribution in the non-digital era was primarily achieved on vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs. The few major record companies controlled the channels of distribution, making it nearly impossible for new artists to make a play without their support. New artists had to sell the master rights of their songs to gain their recognition, thus losing a fair amount of creative and monetary rights.
It was in the early 2000s that an impressive shift unfolded in the dimension of digital platforms, where individuals use platforms like iTunes to make music much easier and superfluous in terms of access, especially distribution. Up until streaming sites like Spotify and Apple Music came into being, independent digital music distribution was, till then, a far-off thing. The platforms opened the artists to a much wider audience without having to pass through the traditional gatekeepers.
The Present: A Digital Revolution
Today, music distribution companies have opened the door to democratizing the industry. Gallery Vision is an incredible platform for enabling artists and labels to distribute their music among fast-growing streaming services such as YouTube Music and Amazon, at the least effort. The emergence of independent music distribution has empowered the artist to take charge of the whole process of his career. Now we have tools for royalty tracking, rights management, and monetization, which critically ensure that the artists maintain control over their works. India has not been an exception in this revolution. Regional music of India has found new growth opportunities in digital music distribution. This has allowed the Indian regional artists to cross over geographical boundaries and connect with the global audience.
Trends Changing the Future of the Industry
The future of music distribution is going to be even more exciting. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are going to play a huge role in analyzing listener preferences and optimizing music recommendations. Blockchain technology could bring unprecedented transparency to royalty payments, ensuring artists are fairly compensated for their work. Traditionalists can accommodate changes that have come because of this digital age in sound and other aspects, the platform that they can venture their partnership into is Gallery Vision.
