INDISTR is an independent distribution service, artist direct to the public! Finally a solution for any artist to distribute their music directly to the public while staying in total control of all the ownership, rights, creative process, pricing, release dates and more. Long gone are the days of artists having little creative control and making 5-10% per album sale while waiting months upon months for the payment. INDISTR artists can sell as much (or as little) music as they want, when they want, at prices they set - and get paid 75% of all income instantly! Meaning, if you upload music to INDISTR© in the morning, you could be buying lunch with its income that afternoon!
