Description

I joined DistroKid to use their subscription service for dispersing music to streaming services and collecting all the revenues from those streams. In order to avoid being nickel & dimed, and because my label puts out music by more than one artist, I upgraded to the "Label" level of service which is supposed to allow for 5 artists. For some reason though, DIstroKid charged me the $80.00 per year Label Subscription AND also kept charging me monthly fees per song for 3 random songs in my catalog. My accountant made me aware of it and its been going on for years! I suspect they've siphoned off over a thousand dollars from my account, all in $12 and $8 increments. I signed up for Label level 3 years ago. 3 songs x $12 = $36.00. Multiply that by the number of months in 3 years (also 36), and you get $1,296.00 that DistroKid stole from ******** Records. This is a total scam. I am furious
