What Our Songwriters Think

Tunecore has literally changed my life and the way I look at music now. Having Tunecore on my side has given me the feeling of having a label backing me without having to sacrifice the joys of independence. The increase in revenue from Tunecore Sync alone sustained my business during the pandemic and lack of shows so I would even say that Tunecore kept my music business afloat. The team is extremely responsive any time I have questions or concerns. My music peers have tried time and time again to get me to switch to different platforms but end up coming over to the Tunecore family by the time they are done hearing my experience. Make the switch. You won't regret it.

Being able to advertise and brand myself with the royalties I've earned has been a big game changer in growing my audience. TuneCore Publishing has been extremely helpful. [They have] been actively seeking placements on my behalf with great success, and helped me land placements in the popular TV show "Vikings"

As an independent artist, I want my musical journey to be about creativity and freedom. Tunecore Publishing allows me autonomy to take my career in any direction I choose. The dashboard is simple to understand and easy to use. The quarterly reports are incredibly detailed and itās always exciting to see where in the world my music is being enjoyed. I have been with TuneCore for 13+ years and my music career has gone from strength to strength. Thank you!

To see my numbers go up like that, you get a reality check as things grow and you start to ask yourself is this real? Then you look up and you got a whole Gold plaque! TuneCore is for artists like myself: independent artists, and independent songwriters. Stay the course. Work hard. You don't know when your time may be but just stay ready for it. When my blessing came, I got the privilege to share my story with the people who need to hear it before they give up or say it aint real. Oh, itās real. Queendom Come is real!

TuneCoreās Publishing Administration has been very hands on with their support. With TuneCore Publishing Iāve seen an insane increase in my yearly revenue. Their dashboard is smooth and easy to use [and] includes filtering options so you can keep track of your quarterly composition earnings. Iāve been with TuneCore Publishing since I was a kid. And so far... Iām here to stay forever!
