UnitedMasters Launches Game-Changing Features for Independent Artists with Real-Time Royalties and Blueprint AI
NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 – UnitedMasters, the leading platform for independent artists to distribute, monetize, and market their music globally, introduced two innovative features today with Blueprint AI (BPAI) and Real-Time Royalties (RTR), changing the landscape of how independent artists can get personalized career coaching and immediate access to their earnings. With these two new features, UnitedMasters is addressing two of the biggest challenges currently facing independent artists: strategic career growth and immediate access to earnings.
Available only for the SELECT and PARTNER tiers, both of these features will allow artists to take more control of their futures and maintain their independence and financial freedom. Blueprint AI and Real-Time Royalties take UnitedMasters’ offerings to the next level creating more opportunities for up-and-coming musicians to have more power in their hands.
With the introduction of Blueprint AI, UnitedMasters will now be able to offer its members an AI-powered music career coach designed to give artists a major-label-level strategy without the major-label deal. By delivering personalized release plans, expert-backed marketing insights, and instant guidance, Blueprint AI will help artists make smarter career moves—on their own terms.
Alongside Blueprint AI, Real-Time Royalties is a first-of-its-kind innovation that pays artists nearly instantly for their streams on Apple Music and Spotify. No other distributor offers this feature to their artists. Instead of waiting for the industry-standard 40 to 75 days to access earnings, UnitedMasters SELECT and PARTNER artists can now wake up to daily deposits in their UnitedMasters Wallet.
"For far too long, artists have had to play by the industry’s outdated rules," said Steve Stoute, Founder & CEO of UnitedMasters. "With Blueprint AI and Real-Time Royalties, artists can finally get personalized assistance without the label backing and get immediate access to their money when they earn it. These new features are all about giving artists independence and power so they can take control of their own careers.”
UnitedMasters’ predictive royalty model analyzes real-time streaming data to provide nearly instant payouts, ensuring artists see their earnings as fast as their fans stream their music. A viral moment today could mean an opportunity to book studio time, run ads, or hit the road tomorrow—RTR and BPAI make all of that possible. These features are just the latest step in the company’s mission to empower independent artists.
Since its founding in 2017, UnitedMasters has been reshaping the music industry, giving independent artists the tools, opportunities, and financial access once reserved for major-label acts. With a distribution network that reaches all major streaming platforms and partnerships with brands like Bose, Coca-Cola, ESPN, and Walmart, UnitedMasters is proving that independence doesn’t mean doing it alone—it means having the right support to build a thriving career on your terms.
"UnitedMasters has always been about leveling the playing field for independent artists," added Stoute. "We gave them distribution, we gave them brand deals, and now we’re giving them personalized career strategies and financial freedom. Blueprint AI and Real-Time Royalties is just the next step in rewriting the rules of the music industry."
