How to Join DIMBER

DIMBER is application-only. Here's how to apply, get approved, and choose the plan that fits your hustle.

Join if you're building seriously

DIMBER is application-only, curated, and built for artists and labels who treat music like a real business. DIMBER isn't for everyone. If you're making real music, taking your catalogue seriously, and ready for a distribution partner instead of a dump-and-run service, here's how to get in.

Submit your application directly at dimber.co/join-dimber. We review every application individually — the more prepared your catalogue and metadata are, the faster the process moves.

Before you apply

Before you apply, make sure you have:

  • Original music you own or control the rights to
  • Clean metadata, including ISRCs and UPCs, or a willingness to get them in order
  • A professional mindset — this is a partnership, not a one-time upload service
  • Music in genres we actively serve, including classical, Afro-pop, Amapiano, hip-hop, and adjacent sounds

A strong application starts with readiness. If your rights, release data, or catalogue details are still messy, sort those out first so the review process goes faster and your onboarding is smoother.

Two ways to pay

Both options are straightforward. Pay As You Grow removes the upfront cost and makes sense if you're still building momentum, testing releases, or growing your catalogue without committing cash first.

Flat Rate works better when you already release consistently or expect enough revenue that keeping 100% of your royalties matters more than avoiding an annual fee. The right choice depends on how often you release and what your catalogue already earns, not on pressure from us.

The application process

Submit your application

Tell us about your music, your genre, and your goals. Be honest and specific. We read every application, and clear information helps us understand whether DIMBER fits what you're building.

Review and response

Our team reviews your application, catalogue, metadata readiness, and overall fit. We look for artists and labels who are serious about their releases and ready to work with a curated distribution partner.

Choose your plan

If we approve your application, choose either Pay As You Grow or Flat Rate. Pick the model that matches your current stage, release volume, and revenue expectations.

KYC and onboarding

Verify your identity and set up your account so you can start distributing. Follow the KYC and onboarding guide for the full process.

Start distributing

Upload your first release and send it to 150+ storefronts. Once your account is ready, you can go live everywhere that matters in under 48 hours.

What happens if you're not approved

A rejected application usually is not personal. In most cases, it means your metadata is not ready, your rights are not fully clear, or DIMBER is not the right fit for your catalogue yet. If you tighten up the business side of your music and your release setup improves, apply again when you're ready.
