How does KushTunes get my music onto Spotify and Apple Music?
You upload your master (WAV or MP3) and cover art once. KushTunes packages the metadata, generates a free ISRC and UPC, and delivers to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Audiomack, Boomplay and 30+ more DSPs through licensed delivery partners. Most platforms accept the release within 24 to 48 hours.
How long until my song is live on streaming platforms?
Spotify and Apple Music typically go live in 24 to 48 hours. YouTube Music, TikTok and most other DSPs follow within 2 to 5 days. You can set a future release date if you want a coordinated drop.
Do I keep 100% of my royalties?
Yes. KushTunes does not take a percentage of your streaming royalties on any plan. What Spotify, Apple, YouTube or any other DSP pays you, you keep — minus only the payment-processor fee at the moment you withdraw.
Is KushTunes really free to start?
Yes. The Starter plan is free forever — one single per year on every major platform, with full analytics and 100% royalties. No credit card required to sign up.
How do I get paid in East Africa?
Withdraw directly to M-Pesa, Airtel Money or MTN MoMo in your local currency — Kenyan Shillings, Ugandan Shillings, Tanzanian Shillings, Rwandan Francs or South Sudanese Pounds. Bank transfer is also available. No middleman, no waiting on US-only payment systems.
Do you give me an ISRC and UPC?
Yes, both are free and assigned automatically when you upload. ISRCs identify each track for streaming and radio royalty collection. UPCs identify the release as a whole. You own them — they stay with your music even if you leave KushTunes.
Can I take my music down or move to another distributor?
Yes. You can take any release offline from your dashboard at any time. We never lock you in — your ISRCs, UPCs and master files remain yours, and you are free to re-distribute through another service whenever you choose.
How is KushTunes different from DistroKid, TuneCore or CD Baby?
Three things: zero royalty commission on every plan, mobile money payouts that actually work in East and West Africa, and pricing in your local currency. Same global distribution reach as the US-based services — built for artists in markets the bigger platforms historically underserve.
