I'm really grateful for the awesome…

I'm really grateful for the awesome service you guys have but please improve on the release section where all files and metadata is erased (for example of a whole album I'm about to release so I have to start over) whenever a client has done as simple as a mistake of not filling in the country of "ONE" composer/lyricist. Anyway great overall experience and really appreciate the light fast replies and brilliant customer support. Thank you.

Hi there.

Thank you for the review!
We are aware of the quirks currently with the uploader and we will improve it soon. We have some other prioritized upcoming features, but we will update it soon!

The erasure is caused by a technical limitation, which we'll fix soon.

Thank you so much for using Anti-Joy! ❤️

10/10 Customer service, quick & thorough solutions to my issues

Jonas is always prompt to respond, and provides solutions to any issue I might have. I'm glad I switched from [a well-known distributor whom shall not be named] to Anti-Joy for my latest release! I've been so impressed by their customer service so far. It really makes all the difference to me, because I am a starving independent artist who does all my own admin, promoting, marketing legwork as well as creating music and producing it. I don't have time to be waiting around for a half-assed response because a larger distribution company doesn't have time for a newbie. Really pleased that I stumbled across the folks at Anti-Joy.

The worst distribution company to work with

avoid this company as a plague if you are a label or artist who is keen on making any revenue from their work. The guy running the company just makes up stupid excuses to deny people their royalties for the most stupid of reasons anyone can imagine.

Hi, Charlie.

This is simply not true. We pay out all royalties that we have collected.

If we withhold royalties. It is either stores (e.g., Spotify), who detected artificial streaming or fraudulent activity. We have already paid royalties to a lot of artists and withheld royalties for just two. In both cases, the users were participating in artifical streaming (buying streams to steal money or inflate online presence illegally), which a store or multiple stores notified us about. That requires us to take action to keep our platform clean of fraudulent and illegal activity.

When we pay out large amounts of monies to artists. We usually require some sort of social media validation. All of our artists have been able to provide these, except one of the users who participated in artificial streaming. They were not even able to provide an Instagram account linking to one of their ~20 artists. According to our fraud policy, we cannot pay out $1000+ royalties without validation. This is partly due to our banking partners, as well as legal compliance. We've only experienced once where this couldn't be validated. But our 500+ other artists earning large sums have been paid in full.

I am unable to find any account linking with your name. Please provide the details in the request I sent, so I can look into your situation.

Great distributor and super personal support!

For the price point, it is really affordable for the sort of functions that they have! I was looking to switch out from Distrokid when I stumbled across Anti-Joy as I plan to do more collabs in the future.

Seeing that it was a fairly new distributor and being a sceptic myself, I did some digging around to find more info and verify the legitimacy of Anti-Joy and did some Q&A with Jonas. Super helpful, passionate, and genuine!

Notable things from Anti-Joy:
- Permanent uploads are really well priced
- Really great royalty split system (about to try it with a new release) and your collaborators only need to sign up using a free account.
- Superb support! I was trying to migrate my existing discography from Distrokid to Anti-Joy. Jonas was super prompt in responding to my questions. He even noticed that one of my uploads was missing the ISRC and UPC codes and verified it with me. Just goes to show how attentive the support is.

Genuinely want to see Anti-Joy grow and rise up with the bigger distributors!
