UnitedMasters is a digital platform that distributes music for independent artists, serving as an alternative to traditional record labels. Artists upload music and UnitedMasters distributes it to streaming services, online stores, and social platforms, while providing data analytics, marketing tools, and creative services; artists keep full ownership of their master recordings. Unlike many labels, UnitedMasters focuses on owner-controlled careers and offers the premium SELECT plan with events and opportunities to connect with industry figures. Its goal is to help independent artists reach a global audience, grow their fan base, and sustain their careers on their own terms.
