A record label manages several artists, release calendars and a catalog that grows every month. Andina Music is a music distributor for independent labels: one dashboard to manage artists, releases, metadata and reports, and a support team that knows how the platforms work, wherever your label is based.
What we solve for a label
- Several artists and sub-labels in one account, with releases organized by project.
- Catalog: onboarding of full back catalogs and of new releases with a calendar.
- Metadata and identifiers: your own or newly assigned ISRC and UPC codes, credits, songwriters, publishers and label codes kept consistent across every platform. Guides: music metadata and ISRC vs UPC.
- Delivery and updates to 150+ platforms, metadata corrections, artwork changes and takedowns. Store requirements: Spotify and Apple Music.
- Reports and royalties by artist, release, platform and territory, so you can pay each artist on your roster. Report details.
- YouTube Content ID for the eligible part of your catalog. How it works.
- Catalog migration from another distributor keeping ISRC and UPC codes. Migration process.
How we work with labels
Onboarding and ingestion
You create the label account (free, no card required) and upload the existing catalog, with its original release dates, before your new releases.
Catalog review
A member of our team reviews each release within 1 to 2 business days and tells you if anything needs fixing before it goes out to the platforms.
Ongoing operation
Release calendar, deliveries, periodic reports and a support contact for incidents and claims.
Metadata: the foundation of a catalog that gets paid correctly
In a catalog with dozens or hundreds of tracks, metadata errors multiply: duplicate artist profiles, missing credits or repeated ISRCs end up as misassigned royalties or fragmented profiles. When we review each release, we check the naming structure, credits and identifiers so the catalog is delivered consistently from the first release.
Frequently asked questions from labels
Where is Andina Music based, and who do you work with?
Andina Music LLC is based in Florida and works with independent labels anywhere. Support is by email in English and Spanish.
Can we use our own ISRC and UPC codes?
Yes. If the label already has code ranges, they’re used as they are; if not, we assign them at no extra cost.
Can we migrate a catalog that is live with another distributor?
Yes. Releases are re-delivered with the same codes and metadata and the takedown at the previous distributor is coordinated afterwards, to avoid gaps. Whether plays and playlists are kept depends on each platform.
How are royalties paid to a label?
Reports break down revenue by artist, release, platform and territory, and Andina Music pays the label under the distribution agreement. Payments to each artist are handled by the label according to its contracts.
