How to Get Your Music on Bandcamp
Direct-to-fan download, streaming, and merch store.
RecordingMechanical
Bandcamp is a direct-to-fan platform where artists sell downloads, physical media, and merch, and where fans can also stream. Its direct-sale model gives artists a higher revenue share per purchase than streaming, and it's a meaningful direct-revenue line for many independent artists.
Notes delivers releases to Bandcamp and reconciles its direct-sale revenue alongside the rest of your distribution.
