About this Distrokid review
In this Distrokid Review, I will share how you can independently distribute your music to 150 stores worldwide. Distrokid was founded by Phillip Kaplan, an American entrepreneur and computer programmer (Wikipedia, 2019).
Distrokid is highly respected in the industry, even by competitors like CD Baby and Tune Core. The service is used by thousands of indie musicians worldwide.
The beauty is that users of the service pay a low yearly fee and retain 100% copyright ownership of their work.
How I got into music distribution with Distrokid
I started in music publishing as an music publisher because of my interest in the industry. I asked my brother Lyndon Delano Moos to help me out as a publisher and he gave me Don’s Song.
Don’s Song is an electric guitar instrumental that was written by Lyndon Delano Moss almost two decades ago as he taught his son Don to walk.
I got this song because I had I had registered with Distrokid in October 2015 and needed to test it out. I had not done anything with it for almost two months. I therefore asked my brother to give me some music for publication. He gave me Don’s Song, an instrumental piece.
Don’s Song produced the most exhilarating effect on me that I was blown. As I listened, I felt happy and felt as if I was skipping along. Curious, I asked Lyndon to tell me the story behind the song.
I asked Lyndon if he was thinking words when he wrote the song. I also asked what he was thinking about when he composed the melody.
Lyndon responded that he actually heard Don’s Song in his ear as he taught his son Don to walk. He said that he counted out a 4/4 beat, one two three four, to help Don to walk.
The story behnid Don’s Song is rooted in scientific proof
I was again blown away when I heard the story behind Don’s Song because I had never heard about anybody teaching a child to walk with a musical beat.
Intrigued, I started to search online. I discovered that recent scientific research shows a connection between musical rhythm or beats and movement.
Scientists now have coined a discipline called Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation. The science of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation that people walk better and have better balance when they hear strong music pulsation.
Dr. Jessica Grahn, a neuroscientist and a musician herself, discovered through research and checking brain waves that there are movement centers in the brain that become activated when people hear strong music rhythms.
Dr. Grahn now uses this information to help people with disorders like Parkinson’s disease to walk. In Parkinson’s Disease people freeze and music pulsations or rhythms or beats help them to walk without freezing so terribly.

How I distributed Don’s Song by Lyndon Delano Moss to 150 stores worldwide
One of the most important things is that your music is published to up to 150 outlets online. This is amazing and perfect for indie artists, small record labels, medium size record labels and even big record labels.
Today, Don’s Song is now on Amazon, Deezer, Google Play, YouTube, Spotify, Shazam, Pandora among other online locations. This places it on par with any major record label worldwide.
It is very easy to upload a song to the Distrokid. However, it must preferably be done in WAV format. The platform shows your where the song was submitted. For example, Don’s Song was submitted very quickly to Amazon.
Some of the other channels to which my brother’s music was distributed include Apple, Instagram, Facebook, Google Play, YouTube, iHeart Radio and Spotify. The major platforms send a link to the song, although many of them do not.
Distrokid also sends an email when your music is published on these sites. That is, if the site provides an email link. After receiving the link, you can share them with fans, on social media and other outlets.
Distrokid Hyperfollow
Distrokid also provides a hyperlink for distribution to social media sites. This is a very convenient and easy way to syndicate your music. The hyperlink is really a master link for all of the music. This feature is provided separately by companies at a hefty cost.
