Roblox and DistroKid: A Mixed Bag for Indie Artists
Explore the pros and cons of the recent Roblox and DistroKid deal, which offers exposure for indie artists but lacks direct compensation for their music.
Roblox, the popular gaming platform, has partnered with DistroKid, allowing independent artists to upload their music directly for use in games. While this deal offers incredible exposure to Roblox’s vast user base, there’s a catch—artists won’t be paid for the use of their music on the platform.
Pros: Increased visibility, potential for viral success, and integration with a rapidly growing platform.
Cons: No direct compensation, potential devaluation of music, and limited control over how music is used.
This deal presents both opportunities and challenges for indie artists. For a deeper dive into the pros and cons, check out the full article here.
