For whom are DIY releases really worthwhile?
Samil Molina
I currently distribute via OneRPM. I have been working with them since 2021 and have released two albums and have at least two more planned for this year. Before that, I was distributed by SUGO Music Group. Before SUGO Music Group, I also released a single through RouteNote. I also use Bandcamp since 2016 or so.
As a producer, I‘ve released different types of projects for myself and other artists: rap, R&B/neo-soul, instrumentals, house music, etc. I‘ve mainly released EPs and albums. I think the art of creating a whole body of work in album format is getting lost these days. But I plan to release more singles independently in the near future in preparation for a proper and on my website : Hoodies, shirts, caps, etc. Nowadays I also count physical releases as merchandise: vinyl, cassettes, CDs.
