Do I Have to Pay for Account Setup?

Platform Access Conditions and Revenue Share Model

No, account setup and initial technical support on the platform are provided completely free of charge until your music is officially released on digital platforms. We operate under a Revenue Share model — we earn a percentage only from the actual royalties you generate. You can submit your application here: https://dmb.sundesiremedia.com/en/application

What Is Included in Free Account Setup

  • account creation and activation after application approval;
  • verification of your artist or label profile data;
  • access to the DMB Dashboard after the contract is signed;
  • initial release checks for DSP compliance;
  • technical support until your releases go live in digital stores.

Why We Don’t Charge a Setup Fee

Our platform operates on a true partnership model with artists and labels. You do not pay any upfront fees — we start earning only after your music is distributed to digital platforms and begins generating royalties.

This completely eliminates hidden fees, subscriptions, upload charges, paywalls for publishing, or access fees to the system.

When Any Costs May Occur

Any potential expenses are related only to third-party payment systems:

  • bank fees when withdrawing funds;
  • payment processor fees in certain territories;
  • fees of external services if you use them on your own initiative.

The platform does not charge any fees for:

  • account creation,
  • uploading releases,
  • publishing releases,
  • providing ISRC and EAN codes,
  • updating or replacing releases.

In summary: access to the platform and the full account setup process are completely free of charge. You incur no costs until your music is released and begins generating revenue.
