Frequently asked questions
How long until my music appears on Spotify?
Usually a few business days. We recommend uploading at least 7 days ahead (ideally 30) for pre-save and Spotify editorial pitch.
Can I transfer my catalogue from another distributor?
Yes, transfers are free. We guide you step by step to avoid losing streams or interrupting sales.
Does LightSound take a cut of my royalties?
Never. You keep 100% of your royalties. We apply no distribution fee or stream deduction.
Do I need a record label?
No. LightSound is for everyone: indie artists, bands, producers, DJs. If you don't have a label, we publish under any name you choose.
