SoundOn is a music marketing and distribution platform founded in 2021 by TikTok.[1][2] It mainly provides song distribution and artist services.[3][4] The tool lets users upload music directly to TikTok to earn royalties,[5] while allowing them to retain their copyright on the music.[6] The service also distributes artists' music to other platforms.[7][8] The platform provides support including audience insights and development advice.[9][10]
Powered by TikTok, SoundOn was designed to serve as a platform for new musicians.[7][11][12] On the platform, artists receive all of their royalties in the first year, and 90% after that.[13] As of July 2023, it is available in the US,[14] the UK, Australia,[15] Brazil,[16] Indonesia,[10][17][2] and New Zealand, among others.[18]
History
The platform began beta testing in the fall of 2021.[8][19] Since its launch in 2022, singers Muni Long,[20] Games We Play,[3] Abby Roberts, and Chloe Adams have published their songs on SoundOn.[10]
In March 2022, the service was officially rolled out.[21] SoundOn was initially introduced in Brazil and Indonesia.[22] In July 2022, it launched a pre-release feature.[23] In December 2022, Dolly Parton formally released her song "Berry Pie" via the platform.[24][25]
