§01Plain-language offer

Distribution is the start. Ownership is the leverage.

Artists already know how to upload a song. Suede makes the rest of the asset easier to understand: where it goes, who owns it, how royalties work, and what future monetization paths can open.

Release everywhere

Send songs to Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, YouTube, Amazon, Tidal, Pandora, Deezer, and dozens more.

Keep every royalty

Suede does not take a distributor royalty cut. Artists keep 100% of streaming royalties with monthly reporting.

100%
royalties to the artist

Create a rights passport

Each release can carry ownership claims, timestamps, ISRC/UPC metadata, splits, and the proof trail around the work.

Monetize beyond streams

Package catalog value for licensing, sync, AI-training permissions, agent licensing, and web3-native payout rails.

Get help packaging the catalog

Use Suede support and add-ons for release polish, playlist pitching, press, sync submissions, and label-style growth.

§02Web3 without the noise

Modern rails for catalog monetization.

Web3 should make the artist business easier to prove and easier to pay, not harder to understand. Suede keeps the page focused on practical upside.

Proof

A durable ownership record makes the release easier to defend, license, and evaluate later.

Permission

Artists can decide what usage is allowed, including sync, remixes, agent access, or AI training opt-ins.

Payment

Modern payout rails help royalties, licensing fees, and usage payments move with less friction.

Programmability

Future agents, partners, and platforms can understand clear rights terms instead of guessing.

§03The Suede Stack

The stack already exists. Distro makes it commercial.

Studio, IP, and Distro stay connected so the release is not separated from the proof and the monetization path.
