Share your music and grow your fan base with all the services an artist needs.
Financial and creative freedom without compromising ownership of your copyrights or your independence. Revel Distro x ChordCash offer royalty advances of up to 8 times your annual streaming income.
Our solution puts cash in your pocket quickly, with funding options that are tailored to your specific needs. Access future earnings from your catalog and unreleased music to invest in yourself. Retain 100% ownership of your music. Our royalty advances are based on your music statistics, not your personal financial history.
We'll gather your music data from around the world. It only takes us a few minutes.
Choose the number of years, the music to include, and if you want to receive income during the term.
We check your Revel reports and send your contract. Easy electronic signature.
After you sign your agreements, we can get you funds in as little as 24-48 hours
Most artists will repay their advance right when the term ends, or a few months before. That’s how our data science team models the deals we offer. But if your music doesn’t generate enough income to recoup your advance during the term, we’ll collect until you we have recouped, and no longer. We won’t add any balance to your advance if you are late, and we don’t charge any interest or penalties.
Great question. We don’t want to hold you back. Our standardized contract includes a “buyout” clause that will let you buy out of the rest of the term with those big label bucks. Your buyout price is based on a formula that’s set ahead of time so there’s no doubt or need to play negotiation games. It’s based on how much we’ve recouped, how much revenue you’ve generated in the term, and how much time you have left on your term.
No. We are happy to advance funds against your existing catalog, but many artists will find that the funding amounts we can provide are significantly larger if they plan to release new music in the next 6 to 12 months.
A large share of your advance will be paid within a week of signing your contract. The remainder will be paid when you release new music, if it’s covered in the deal. Any “flow through” income you are due before your advance is recouped will be paid within 7 business days after we receive it from your distributor.
Two things determine the size of your advance. First, your data. Your streaming data and a whole lot more data beyond that is used to make an estimate of your future earnings. Second, your advance is driven by the terms you choose. You are in control. You choose if your deal will include some or all of your catalog, and how many unreleased tracks it will include (or if it will include no new tracks at all). You choose how many years you want the deal to be. Finally, you choose how much of your streaming income you need to keep during the term, even before your advance is repaid. All those tradeoffs impact the size of your advance, and all of them are up to you.
No, and No. Our advances are structured as a purchase of a limited portion of your revenues for a limited time. They aren’t loans and they won’t impact your credit.
No, we don’t think so. We took literally BILLIONS of data points on hundreds of thousands of artists and milllions of songs to build some really smart algorithms that predict an artist’s future earnings because we think we can make smart bets on artists, we can also offer better terms (higher royalties, faster timeframe to get back to 100% control of revenues) than a traditional label deal.
No, if you have been successful on your own, we believe you can continue to do that.
It depends. We may be able to figure out a way to work with you. Let’s talk.
We work with any and all genres. Classical, Trap, Waka, Jazz, Christian Pop, Prog Rock, Canadian Country, K-Pop, Hip Hop, Dance, Pop, Assyrian Folk, Latin Rap, Sufi, Deep Trance, Ranchera, Bhajan, Norwegian Death Metal… you name it….we are open to making an advance if the data is right.
Absolutely – just contact us for a new offer on additional releases. You can take your funding in smaller chunks to keep your options open if you like.
Short answer: No. You can adjust and choose:
And while we give you flexibility to choose the value of those terms, we don’t negotiate beyond that. The advance amounts presented to you are calculated by a complex data-driven system our team has created to put you in the best position to recoup on schedule with the length of term you select.
While we can’t share every last detail of what our investors and algorithm is looking for, things that will reduce your chance of getting an advance include:
