What value do you provide as a label?We handle the entire distribution process on your behalf along with providing guaranteed playlist placements on our owned playlists, pitching to other playlist curators within our playlist network, promoting your release on social media, and providing education and transparency on all the royalties you are owed from your music. Additionally, our distributor provides playlist support via their internal playlist network on Spotify and Apple Music.
-
What is the royalty split?Our royalty splits are 60/40 in favor of the artist.
-
What kinds of royalties do you collect?We collect and payout royalties generated from interactive streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, etc. (Mechanical Royalties) as well as royalties generated from non-interactive streaming platforms like Pandora, Sirius XM, etc. (Performance Royalties). These royalties are paid out through DashGo. We also offer to register and collect your publishing royalties on your behalf. In this case, these royalties will be split at the same percentage as the master recording split. However, we also give you the option to handle the publishing yourself and keep 100%.

Will I maintain ownership of the copyright of my release?Yes - you as the Artist maintain 100% ownership of the Master Copyright. We as the Record Label are licensing your track(s) for a fixed period of time.

Do you provide the album artwork?Completely up to you - we can put together the artwork or you can send us artwork you’d like to use.

Will you handle editorial playlist pitching?Yes - our team will pitch upcoming releases to the relevant editorial teams on your behalf unless you explicitly state you'd prefer to submit the pitch yourself.

Should I be registering songs released through Coastal Chill Records with my PRO (ASCAP, BMI, etc.) or publishing administrator (Songtrust, BeatStars Publishing, etc.)?If you choose to handle the publishing on your own then yes - you are responsible for registering the release with all these platforms if you want to collect these royalties. Alternatively, if you opt to have us collect the publishing royalties on your behalf, we will handle all these registrations for you.
