G Studio handles music distribution in Dubai for independent artists who want their release to land properly on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and every major streaming platform. Metadata, ISRC and UPC codes, credits, splits, artwork specs and release-day scheduling — set up by a producer who understands how streaming platforms actually work, not filled out on a template submission form.

Who this service is built for

Independent artists, songwriters, producers and small labels who want their release handled properly the first time. If you have never released music before, we walk you through every technical requirement. If you have released before through a low-cost distributor and lost track of your royalties or metadata, we can clean up and re-submit correctly. If you are launching a label imprint, we can set up your first catalogue of releases.

What music distribution actually does

Distribution is the plumbing that gets your song from a finished master into a listener’s Spotify or Apple Music library. It covers metadata (artist name, songwriter and producer credits, genre, mood tags, language), identifiers (ISRC per track, UPC per release), artwork specs (3000×3000 minimum, correct colour space, no copyrighted imagery), release-day scheduling across time zones, and royalty collection setup so the money that streaming generates flows back to you correctly.

Getting any of this wrong means your song either gets rejected, lands with wrong credits, misses playlist consideration, or generates royalties that never reach your account. A budget distributor might charge $20 for the submission — but you pay for it every month you fail to collect the streams you earned.

Where your music will be distributed

Every release goes to 150+ streaming and download platforms globally: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, Napster, Anghami (critical for the MENA region), Boomplay, iHeartRadio, Beatport (for electronic) and 130+ smaller stores. Regional targeting is included — MENA-first artists get proper placement on Anghami, Middle Eastern editorial teams, and Arabic-market services.

Single, album and EP release

Single release — one song, one release date, live everywhere inside 7-10 business days. Includes ISRC, UPC, artwork check, metadata setup, first-day playlist submission, pre-save link. Album and EP — multi-track releases with cohesive metadata, artwork specs, tracklist ordering, per-track ISRC and proper release-date scheduling. All included regardless of track count.

Pre-save campaigns and release-day push

Every release includes a pre-save link — the click-through URL you share with your audience in the days before release so their Spotify or Apple Music queues the song automatically at midnight of release day. Pre-saves are the single biggest lever available for boosting first-24-hour streaming numbers, which in turn increases the chance of algorithmic playlist inclusion. First-day editorial playlist submission is included with every release, submitted 4-7 days ahead per platform requirements.

Royalties — you keep 100%

We do not take a percentage of your streaming royalties. Ever. The distribution fee is one-time per release; every dollar and dirham your streams generate goes directly to you, paid out monthly by the platforms to your registered account. Compare this to distributors that take 9-15% forever — over the life of a hit song, that percentage adds up to serious money that should be in your pocket.

Publishing, PRO registration and mechanical royalties

Beyond streaming royalties, your song generates publishing royalties, mechanical royalties, and performance royalties through PROs like ASCAP, BMI, PRS, GEMA, SOCAN and Anghami’s regional collection society. We help you register correctly with the right society for your country of residence, and set up song shares if the track has multiple writers, so all sides of your income stream are captured.

Timeline and pricing

From master hand-off to live on all platforms: 7-10 business days for a single, slightly longer for album packages. Pricing is per release, transparent, no annual subscriptions. Pay once per single, keep the rights, keep the royalties. When the next song is mastered, book the next release.

Related services at G Studio

Distribution works best when the release itself is production-perfect. Most artists book vocal recording, full song production and mixing and mastering in the same studio, then move directly into distribution and music marketing for the release rollout with our GRAMMYs SMM partner. One pipeline, one accountable team, one release that lands with real force.
