Our Story

Born in India.Built forIndependent Artists.

Western Beats Private Limited was founded with a single, bold mission: to give every Indian independent artist access to the same distribution power, platform reach, and industry credibility that only major labels once had, at zero cost.

We watched talented artists get trapped paying annual subscriptions to foreign distributors like DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby, platforms built for the West, with little understanding of the Indian market, Indian platforms, or Indian artists. We knew there was a better way.

That's why we built Western Beats: India-first, artist-first, and backed by the partnership that changed everything: our Warner Music India Partnership.

The same Warner Music Group that powers global superstars now powers every independent artist on Western Beats.

“Where Independent Meets Major.”

What We Stand For

Our Core Values.

Six principles that set us apart from every other music distributor, and the reason artists trust Western Beats with their careers.

01
Artist First, Always
You own 100% of your music. Every rupee your music earns flows directly to you. We only make money when you make money. Your music, your rights, your success. We are always on your side.
02
India First
JioSaavn and Gaana before Spotify. We are built specifically for the Indian music market and carry India-first distribution priority for every release.
03
Radically Honest
72 hours means 72 hours. Free means free, no hidden fees, no bait-and-switch, no fine print. What you see is exactly what you get.
04
Major-Label Quality
Our Warner Music India Partnership means major-label quality standards on every release: metadata, audio quality, and platform compliance you can't get elsewhere.
05
Speed & Reliability
72-hour go-live time, zero downtime, real-time royalty reporting. While competitors take 7–10 days, your music is already streaming. That's the Western Beats difference.
06
Built for Growth
From distribution to production, events to talent management, we are not just a distributor. We are a full-service music company built to grow independent artists into household names.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know.

Comparing Western Beats vs DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music and more? We answer it all.

Western Beats is India's #1 free music distribution platform by Western Beats Private Limited, officially backed by our Warner Music India Partnership. Unlike DistroKid, which charges $22.99/year (₹1,900+) with no India-first focus, Western Beats is completely free, prioritizes JioSaavn and Gaana, delivers music in 72 hours, and carries the credibility of our Warner Music India Partnership, something no other distributor offers.

Distribution is completely free: ₹0 upfront. No annual subscription, no per-release fee. Western Beats earns only when you earn — there are no upfront costs and no annual fees. Compare: DistroKid charges $22.99/yr, TuneCore charges $14.99 per release, CD Baby charges $9.99 per release AND takes 9% of royalties. With Western Beats, there is no upfront risk — you only pay (via revenue share) when you earn.

TuneCore is US-built and US-focused. Western Beats is built specifically for the Indian music market. Western Beats distributes to JioSaavn, Gaana, and more with priority, costs ₹0 upfront (TuneCore costs $14.99/release), is backed by our Warner Music India Partnership for major-label credibility, goes live in 72 hours (TuneCore takes 7–10 days), and provides India-based artist support. Your royalties flow directly to you with no upfront fee.

Western Beats wins on every metric for Indian artists: Price (₹0 upfront vs $9.99/release), Royalties (direct to you vs CD Baby taking 9% AND charging $9.99/release upfront, making Western Beats more cost-effective), India-first distribution (Western Beats has JioSaavn and Gaana priority), Warner Music India Partnership backing (CD Baby has no equivalent), and go-live speed (72 hrs vs 5–7 days). CD Baby has no dedicated presence in the Indian music market.

Yes, and we prioritize them. Western Beats distributes to JioSaavn, Gaana, and all major Indian platforms, along with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and 140+ more global platforms. Our Warner Music India Partnership gives us priority placement on Indian DSPs, something DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music, and other foreign distributors cannot match.

Western Beats has an exclusive Warner Music India Partnership — one of the world's three major record label groups. This means major-label credibility on your releases, priority placement on Indian streaming platforms, access to Warner Music's network of playlist curators and industry contacts, audio quality standards that match major-label releases, and faster processing on platforms. No independent distributor in India, not Ditto Music, Believe, Orchard, Mad Verse, Fore Vision Digital, or anyone else, has this exclusive partnership.

Western Beats delivers your music to streaming platforms within 72 hours. Compare that to: DistroKid (7–10 days), TuneCore (7–10 days), CD Baby (5–7 days), and Ditto Music (3–5 days). Our 72-hour turnaround is possible because of our direct relationships with all major platforms and our Warner Music India Partnership.

Western Beats pays your royalties directly to your bank account. We only earn when you earn — never upfront. Compare: CD Baby takes 9% AND charges $9.99/release; Believe takes 15–30%; The Orchard operates on revenue share. Western Beats costs ₹0 to start, and we only earn when you earn. That's fully aligned with your success.

Absolutely. You can migrate from any distributor: DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music, Believe, or any other. Contact us at contact@westernbeats.com or DM us @wb_digital_ on Instagram and our team will guide you through the migration at zero cost. Your existing ISRC codes and metadata are fully portable.

No, we are a full-service music company. Western Beats offers Music Distribution, Event Management, Talent Management, Audio Production, Video Direction, and Analytics & Strategy. We give independent artists access to major-label resources, the kind of support that DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby simply do not offer, all under one roof and all at a fraction of the cost.
