COMPANY NEWS
The latest UnitedMasters news.
Our artists are charting, going platinum, and breaking streaming records, all while keeping the rights to their masters. Behind the scenes, we’ve been growing the team and the roster to help even more of you get there.
Straight out of Cincinnati and now based in Atlanta, Dono stood out from the very beginning. Her raw energy, melodic sound, and undeniable talent captured the attention of our judges and our community. Dono’s artistry transcends genres, blending lyrical vulnerability with charismatic stage presence. She embodies everything UnitedMasters stands for: independence, hustle, and tenacity.
Winning the Make Your Debut Challenge means more than just a title for Dono. She’s now signed to a $250K artist development deal, granting her access to a full-service music team, A&R and marketing resources, and a personalized plan to elevate her career. She also performed live at SELECTCON in New York City, cementing her place among the UnitedMasters family.
Today, UnitedMasters, the industry’s premium music distribution platform for independent artists, announced the extension of its existing agreement with the National Football League (“NFL”) through the end of the 2027 season. The agreement, which follows an original three-year deal that began in 2023, will expand UnitedMasters’ existing track delivery – allowing the NFL to continue providing music to its fans via UnitedMasters’ fully cleared sync library.
UnitedMasters, the industry’s premium music distribution platform for independent artists, today announced it is entering into a direct partnership with TikTok. The multi-year agreement will provide TikTok with UnitedMasters' full, expansive catalog of music, and provide additional commercial opportunities to UnitedMasters artists via TikTok's Commercial Music Library.
UnitedMasters’ artists will now be able to master their tracks and produce studio-quality sound through the UnitedMasters web platform and iOS app, which is integrated with RoEx’s intelligent audio engine Tonn. This finetunes sonic elements such as dynamics, EQ and compression to ensure that distributed tracks sound balanced and cohesive. Mastering is priced at $4.99 per track.
UnitedMasters is looking to add to their expansive roster and give independent artists a chance to join the software and service platform’s team. Billboard learned on Tuesday (Aug. 13) that UnitedMasters has launched the DEBUT+ subscription tier in the United States, which will equip emerging artists with UM’s resources and forward-thinking tools needed to properly elevate in the industry.
Priced at $19.99 annually, artists can access the UnitedMasters library through the new subscription tier and upload their music to all streaming platforms while retaining 100 percent of their royalties.
As of this month, UnitedMasters' PARTNER artists can cash out their monthly royalty payments in real-time with a debit card through Visa Direct.
UnitedMasters, the leading software and services platform for independent artists, today announced the appointment of LaTrice Burnette as Executive Vice President/Head of Music. In this newly created role, Burnette will spearhead UnitedMasters' artist services division, amplifying the company's global roster of independent talent.
We're excited to introduce the UnitedMasters Referral Program, a celebration of the independent artist community. We believe independence should be available to any artist who wants it – which is why we created a program to help you share SELECT and put money in your pocket.
UnitedMasters is proud to announce an exciting partnership with Arturia, a global leader in music production technology, to provide SELECT members with free access to Analog Lab Play and the premium Inner City Soul Preset Bank (a $30 value). Together, we’re putting the power of professional music production directly into the hands of independent artists worldwide.
