empowered music distribution.
that’s release guru.
We’re on a mission to empower a new wave of independent artists.
release guru is redefining what music distribution can be — transparent, data-driven, and built around real artist support.
The first 100 artists to distribute with us receive a free 1-year Pro membership to fuel their next release.
There are no upfront fees for global music distribution.
Full-spectrum artist support.
Four interconnected wavelengths designed to move your music — and your career — forward.
🌎 Distribution — global reach, marketing muscle.
Distribution is more than delivery. With release guru, eligible Pro members can submit audio and music video releases for A&R consideration with no upfront fees — and no annual renewal fees — so you can allocate budget toward growth, not gatekeeping.
Our stack pairs weekly DSP performance reporting with Ai&R analysis and an Ad-Wallet framework to actually move the needle after your music goes live. We also support physical retail (AMPED / Proper / Bertus) and D2C integrations (Shopify, Bandcamp) for full-funnel revenue, plus premium asset specs like Dolby Atmos, VEVO, Spotify Canvas and Apple Music Motion.
🧠 Think-Tank — your living playbook.
Think-Tank is our knowledge hub — articles, how-tos, case studies, and Office Hours live sessions — designed to help you make clear, confident decisions from pre-save to post-release. It’s where community and craft meet process and proof. Pro members unlock deeper, practical material you can apply the same day.
✳️ Ai&R — your personal music-business copilot.
Ai&R is our AI-assisted layer — a personal music business coach trained on release guru’s proprietary marketing systems and powered by OpenAI to accelerate research, planning, and post-release analysis. Pair Ai&R with your reports and you’ll spot patterns faster and shape campaigns with data, not hunches.
☂️ Human-Resources — humans in the loop, by design.
AI helps us work smarter, but the human touch always leads. Human-Resources gives you bespoke, 1-on-1 label-team access for creative direction, brand identity, rollout strategy and more, starting at $50/hour for Pro members. It’s our commitment to keep human judgment at the centre while using AI as leverage, not a replacement.
Start where you are.
Grow from here.
From never-released artists to emerging to established, release guru meets you where you are.
Our platform helps serious artists at every stage of their journey build momentum, clarity, and growth — all on their own terms.
