Frequently Asked Questions

Who can receive an advance?

Chevron down

Artists, labels, or master owners who can receive a royalty advance are those whose catalog generates over $500 per month and has done so for at least one year.

How does the recoup work

Chevron down

Random Sounds pays back the advance to the partner monthly from the royalties your catalog generates and as per the contract's payment plan. There are no fees beyond what your music generates. Your payment and earnings history is available in your account dashboard.

How much can I receive?

Chevron down

The amount is calculated based on your catalog's revenue history. There's no fixed amount: once the team shares your information with financial partners, you receive the available offers, including the amount and duration of each proposal. You choose the one that suits you best.

Do I need to distribute with Random Sounds to receive the advance?

Chevron down

Yes. Regardless of your current distributor, to receive the advance, you'll need to migrate your catalog to Random Sounds. Our team will assist you with this process, ensuring you don't lose any data or streams.

Is an advance a loan?

Chevron down

It works like a financial loan: it's calculated based on your catalog's revenue history and is repaid monthly from your royalties. It does not involve a transfer of rights. The ownership of your music does not change.

What is a royalty report and how do I get one?

Chevron down

It's the document your current distributor generates, showing your catalog's earnings history. If you distribute with DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, or another platform, you can download it from your dashboard. The Random Sounds team will tell you exactly what format they need when they contact you.

Why do they need access to my Spotify for Artists?

Chevron down


Inviting your Spotify for Artists team allows financial partners to directly verify your catalog's streaming data. This is part of the standard evaluation process for these types of advances.

How long does the process take?

Chevron down

It depends on how quickly catalog information is processed and the time it takes to evaluate partners. The Random Sounds team keeps you informed at every stage.

Can I apply if I just started distributing?

Chevron down

The minimum requirement is for your catalog to generate over $500 USD per month. If your earnings haven't reached that level yet, we cannot proceed with the process as there isn't enough history to calculate an offer.

It has been my best experience distributing. The speed of delivery to platforms and their real dedication to helping me grow as an artist are remarkable. I have been included in more editorial playlists, among many other achievements. This comes from the mouth of a former member of The Orchard, TuneCore and others.
