Canadian Music Distribution and Promotions

Distribution and promotions are key parts of your game plan. Get familiar with the various distribution and promotional services available to recording artists and music creators. Whether you’re looking to go a more commercial route and in need of a service like DMDS, or taking a more independent route through the various companies at your disposal.

We’ll do our best to provide the most complete and up to date listing of distribution and promotions services below. If you’re interested in listing your service or organization, please email HipHopCanada Sales.

We view DMDS as the gold standard for secure digital distribution. We use it exclusively and have virtually eliminated the need for CD’s to deliver music to our partners at radio.
