Singa is a flexible and user-friendly karaoke service that lets music lovers belt out your tunes! Singa is available in thousands of karaoke bars and room across the world, and enjoyed at home by tens of thousands using our consumer app.
Karaoke has recently seen a resurgence among all generations, and more and more artists and labels are seeing karaoke as a way to distribute their music and give fans a way to enjoy and celebrate their songs.
Singa features original songs from Benson Boone, Iron Maiden, Bebe Rexha, and many more. Many independant artists now have submitted their original tracks to Singa like Poets of the Fall, The Rasmus, Danko Jones, and Rednex.
As a producer or recording owner, distributing your music on Singa is very similar to streaming services. However, with Singa, you'll need a karaoke version of your song.
Here we will go over everything you need to get your music into Singa as an independent artist or small label.
Distributing your music on Singa as an independent artist or small label
If you are an independent artist, Singa can be a great place to start distributing your music. It will allow fans to sing your song at karaoke venues across the world and at home. To get your song into Singa we will need the following:
1. The Song's Core:
- The original, full-vocal master recording
- Complete lyrics in plain text or document format
- (Optional) A karaoke mix, either with the lead vocals removed or a fully instrumental version
Files should be of high quality; audio files in wav, aiff, or 320 kbps mp3.
2. Metadata:
- Information on composers, lyricists, publishers, as well as the song’s ISRC and original release year.
3. Rights & Permissions:
- A distribution agreement with the owner of the recording (catalogue licensing agreement).
Don't worry about publisher agreements – we'll handle that for you.
4. Visual Appeal (Optional):
- The original cover art for your song (PNG)
Original cover art - dimensions should be 1:1. Minimum file quality 1080p, but 4K preferred. PNG file type.
Publishing and Royalties:
Singa distributes royalties for song use to three parties:
- The owner of the master recording receives a share through a distribution agreement.
- Traditional copyright royalties are paid through Teosto/STIM/etc. (depending on your location).
- A graphical royalty is paid to the song's lyricist or publisher to compensate for the displayed lyrics.
Royalties and play reports are delivered every three months to both the master rights owner and lyricist or publisher.
