Why VEVO and Apple Music Are Essential for Your Music Videos

When it comes to building a music career, music distribution doesn’t stop at getting your tracks onto streaming platforms. In today’s digital landscape, music videos play a vital role in helping artists connect with their audience, tell their story, and elevate their brand. That’s where VEVO and Apple Music Video come in—offering not just global reach but also significant opportunities for royalties and professional credibility.

Now, there’s an easier way to get your music videos onto these essential platforms. GYROstream is excited to announce that music video distribution is now built directly into our platform! Whether you’re an independent artist looking to expand your audience or a current GYROstream user ready to take the next step, our new Video Delivery Tool makes it simpler than ever to deliver your videos to VEVO and Apple Music.

Why Are VEVO and Apple Music Important for Artists?

1. Boost Your Reach

• VEVO: As one of the largest music video platforms globally, VEVO extends beyond YouTube. It’s accessible through its app, on smart TVs, and even in public spaces like cafes or doctor’s waiting rooms.

• Apple Music Video: Apple Music and Apple TV are two of the most widely used platforms, helping your videos appear in curated playlists and reach a premium, engaged audience.

2. Earn More with Monetisation
Uploading to VEVO allows you to monetise your visuals differently than a typical YouTube upload. VEVO videos earn revenue from ads, offering a better royalty split than standard YouTube content. Apple Music also pays royalties for video streams, giving you another avenue to generate income from your art.

3. Build Your Brand Credibility
Videos on VEVO and Apple Music signal professionalism and authenticity. Fans recognise VEVO as a hallmark of quality, and platforms like ARIA and Billboard count VEVO views towards chart placements. Having your videos in these spaces boosts your credibility with fans and industry professionals alike. Additionally, your VEVO channel can be merged with your YouTube Topic Channel and Official Artist Channel (OAC) for a seamless, professional presence across the platform.
