What Our Songwriters Think

Tunecore has literally changed my life and the way I look at music now. Having Tunecore on my side has given me the feeling of having a label backing me without having to sacrifice the joys of independence. The increase in revenue from Tunecore Sync alone sustained my business during the pandemic and lack of shows so I would even say that Tunecore kept my music business afloat. The team is extremely responsive any time I have questions or concerns. They also make it very easy to keep track of what songs have been published and where they were placed. My music peers have tried time and time again to get me to switch to different platforms but end up coming over to the Tunecore family by the time they are done hearing my experience. Make the switch. You won't regret it.

Being able to advertise and brand myself with the royalties earned has been a big game changer in growing my audience. TuneCore Publishing has been extremely helpful. [They have] been actively seeking placements on my behalf with great success, and helped me land placements in the popular TV show "Vikings
