If you’re reading this, you’re most likely a Spinnup artist, and will have received an email from us about the upcoming change to the Spinnup service.
On July 19th 2022, Spinnup is changing from an open DIY music distribution service to a curated artist discovery and distribution platform. This means we will be reducing the number of artists on the platform as we move into this new chapter.
Artists who are leaving Spinnup are being asked to takedown their releases and transfer to a new distributor by July 19th 2022, after that date we will need to begin taking down any remaining live releases from departing artists.
We’re here to help guide you through this transition if you are an artist who will be leaving Spinnup.
We’ve put together guidance on everything you need to know to navigate this change, download your assets, transfer your releases, and manage your incoming royalties over the coming months. We’ve tried to be as thorough as possible, but if there’s anything else you need, don’t hesitate to contact our support team, they’re here to help you.
