Record Union is an upload-based distribution platform. This means that once you register an account with us, you can upload and publish a digital music release directly on our website. Once you publish your release, it will go through a review process by our content team and once approved, it will become available on the music services you selected on the release date you specified. When your music goes live on your chosen digital services, Record Union will take care of aggregating any money that's earned from the digital service and upload it to your Record Union account where you can pay it out directly to your bank account!
