About
UnitedMasters is a traditional label alternative for independent artists, providing a platform that empowers musicians to take control of their careers without relinquishing ownership of their master recordings. Founded in 2017 by Steve Stoute, UnitedMasters offers premium music distribution services that allow artists to distribute their music globally to major streaming platforms. Artists can also benefit from unique partnerships with well-known brands, enabling them to unlock new revenue streams and enhance their marketing efforts. Beyond distribution, UnitedMasters provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help artists engage with their fanbase effectively. This includes analytics for gauging listener engagement, promotional tools for marketing their music, and access to exclusive sync licensing opportunities. While traditional labels often dictate terms and ownership, UnitedMasters fosters an ecosystem where artists retain autonomy and make informed decisions about their music. This innovative approach has garnered significant investments and support from major players, ensuring that artists have the resources and backing needed to thrive independently in a shifting music landscape.
