Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Still have questions? Schedule a discovery call and we'll walk you through everything in detail.

Do my artists sign directly with IAC or through me? +
Your artists sign their service agreements directly with Indie Artist Connect. As their manager you remain their primary point of contact and advocate throughout every step. IAC works alongside you — never around you.
Do my artists keep their masters and publishing rights? +
Absolutely — always and without exception. Every artist retains 100% ownership of their masters and publishing rights at all times. Artist ownership is non-negotiable at IAC. It is written into every agreement.
How does the revenue share work and when do I get paid? +
Revenue share is calculated monthly based on membership fees generated by your active roster. You receive a detailed statement on the first of each month. Revenue share payments are processed within 5 business days of your statement date.
Can I upgrade my tier as my roster grows? +
Yes — upgrade at any time with no lock-in and no penalty. Contact your IAC partner liaison and your account upgrades within 48 hours. Revenue share adjusts immediately upon upgrade.
What platforms will my artists be distributed to? +
Through Eternal Echoes Distribution Group and The Orchard — a Sony Music subsidiary — your artists are distributed to 150+ platforms in 40+ global markets including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, YouTube Music, Deezer, and many more.
I only have one artist right now — is this worth it? +
Absolutely. The Partner tier at $399/month is designed exactly for that. Start with one artist, learn the full IAC system, and grow into Senior or Executive Partner as your roster develops. Many of our strongest partners started with a single artist.

Ready to Build Something Bigger Than Yourself?

Your roster deserves major label infrastructure. Your business deserves real recurring revenue. The IAC Strategy Partner Program delivers both. Apply today and let's build this together.
