GYROstream is the leading independent and Australian-owned digital music distribution and artist services company. A customer-focused distribution experience with premium support as its core offering, the GYROstream platform exists to help artists get their record out and grow their fan base at any stage of their career.

GYROstream offers a range of features and additional artist services including royalty payment splits, data analytics, A&R referral remuneration tools, publicity through GYROpr and digital marketing through GYROdigital. Through upstream programs such as GYROgold and GYROrecords, GYROstream is achieving recognition and success for independent artists and labels on a global scale.

Digital music distribution is the process of making your music available to listeners on streaming services (DSPs), online music stores, and social media platforms.

The process of digital music distribution involves uploading your music files to a digital distributor or aggregator. These distributors then send your music and metadata to various online platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram, Amazon Music, and others. As a result, your audience can easily discover and access your music through their preferred streaming, social media or downloading platform and you can earn royalties.

One notable advantage of digital music distribution is that it empowers independent artists to share their music without the need for a traditional record label and it makes the music discovery process much easier for fans worldwide. By distributing your music with GYROstream, you can extend your music's reach globally and connect with an even larger audience of listeners.

Distributing your music as an independent artist is easier than ever. To distribute your music digitally, follow these steps:

1) Create your music: Write and record your music in a high-quality format, such as WAV or FLAC, with mixing and mastering.
2) Create a GYROstream account: Sign up via the GYROstream website by clicking the sign up button and create an Artist profile.
3) Upload your music: Find the ‘Create New Release’ tile in your artist dashboard and follow the online form prompts. Upload your music files and metadata such as track titles, single, EP or album artwork, and collaborators and select where you want your music available.
4) Review and submit: Choose your release date, checkout and submit it for approval by the GYROstream team.
5) Release your music: Your music will be distributed to the platforms you selected. You can release in as little as 2 business days but we recommend allowing at least three weeks so you can plan and execute your promotional strategy effectively. For more information on timelines and promotional strategy, log into your dashboard to access and download our release checklist.
6) Optional step - set up splits: Enter the release details and add collaborators to share royalties via the GYROsplits tile in your dashboard

Every release (single, album or EP) is a flat rate $9.99 per release annually, plus 8% commission.
There is an option when you are submitting your release to add a further $19.99 to add our sync offering and YouTube monetisation.
‍
We also have our legacy payment option where you can upload a release for a once-off fee. A single will cost you $29.99 and albums (four tracks or higher) will cost you $49.99.
‍
You can also easily upgrade any of your existing subscriptions to once-off payments. You can do this by heading to your GYRO dashboard, opening your catalogue and clicking ‘Upgrade to Unlimited’ - you will see an option to add a once-off payment.

We issue UPCs and ISRC codes for FREE. We also offer the ability for you to use your own codes if you have them. It’s important to keep your ISRC codes consistent if you are moving your music to GYRO from another distributor.

GYROstream’s standard deal offer is a 92% split to you, the artist. GYROstream keeps 8% of the royalties paid out to you from DSPs. We believe that your success is our success, which is why we have a vested interest in helping you achieve your music career goals.

We have artists switching to GYROstream every day of the week. It’s super simple to move your catalogue from one distributor to another. All you need is the original mastered audio files and artwork. Once you’ve got a date in mind for the transfer, contact our support team who can guide you through it.
