TuneCore Direct Advance,
Powered by RoyFi.
Independent artists need capital to build their careers, but traditional label advances can come with long-term commitments, more restrictions and reduced creative freedom
TuneCore Direct Advance, powered by RoyFi and vetted by us, offers a different approach: Eligible artists get access to upfront capital based on future royalty earnings - so you can invest in your career now, while keeping full control of your music.
Why Artists Use Advances
TuneCore Direct Advance, powered by RoyFi is exclusive for TuneCore Artists, and uses a transparent platform with enhanced data and royalty visibility. This partnership allows RoyFi to underwrite advances with greater confidence, often leading to increased availability and better pricing than advances taken with other distributors.
Advances allow you to unlock future earnings, giving you the flexibility to:
Put money behind your next release
Fund a tour, music video, or new project
Take pressure off - whether that’s rent, bills, or your day-to-day
Fund marketing campaigns when your momentum starts to build
With TuneCore Direct Advance, powered by Royfi, you can access capital now, without getting locked into a long-term commitment or sacrificing your independence.
