Interesting experience

The platform is very useful and user-friendly with seemingly great opportunities. Though the communication for an A&R meeting is interesting. Before anyone comes at me…. They told me that they could not help, which was fine (I have my opinions on that) but the meeting never happened, yet it was canceled 2 times.
Happening once without detailing the reason is bad enough as it is… but 2 times?
Make sure you work on your communication and stop spamming people with “possibility” if there is no actual one.

Hey, this was booked with me, you didn't give much info in your form and unfortunately the vocals and music production wasn't at a level that we can work with you on developing your career. The door is never closed so keep working hard at your craft. Good luck. Jon

Helpful and transparent

I started putting some of my music on MG for sync purposes, they offer a few interesting services to help those artists who are looking to get a sync deal and need to get to know more about this complex world. So far I can say their communication via email is transparent and helpful. I personally still need to dig a little more into this world, overall I sense seriousness in what they do.

Great service

A really well run company with great customer service, prices are a little high with the minimum available service being £450+ but it’s worth it.

Positive human connections

We had a couple of minor issues with the platform and after connecting with Marcus Power and Jon Skinner, who sorted the back end glitches, the issues are now fixed. The human connections make all the difference and have given us confidence moving forward with MG, Thanks Guys!

One stop shop for indie artists

I have great experience with Music Gateway.
Originally i found them regarding the license sync opportunities.
But then i learned that they have a whole lot of cool tools in one place, which is a huge plus.
I originally was using distribution and publishing with another platform and was looking to migrate my catalogue to another distributor.
Besides that i also would love to mention Marcus Power, his assistance with my case and needs as an indie artist is above and beyond.
I feel very taken care of on this platform, it got distribution, publishing, sync opportunities, marketing and all. So i got everything in one place.

Been trying to get in contact with support for 3 weeks

Update 3 5/17/24 , they have refunded me my $90 and we will be moving on

UPDATE NUMBER 2 5/16/24 : So after fixing my issues with the coin rebuttals and the fact my music didn’t pop up on the transfer list , they had given my coins to reupload the songs using same isrc to have them appear , but then don’t tell you use must spend $90 on pro to upload an album and then don’t tell you , you also have to spend 30 coins per song on album to upload it , so you have to spend $90 and any album over 5 songs you gotta wait a whole nother month to add another 5 songs to just upload that’s not even to claim publishing which would be 10 coins per song and then 10 per song for syncing so you end up spending 500 coins just for a 10 song album that would cost you realistically without the coins $72 dollars just upload an album claim publishing and uploading to syncing , oh and even after submitting for syncing if your song gets accepted you will then be charged another 10 coins to submit to the movies , tv shows or videos you want to use . Support has been ok but every week there’s another member leaving for something and you have to wait to get into contact. All I want is my albums and singles transferred properly from my old distribution company , claim my publishing and have access to submit if wanted it’s been a month of working on this. I would say there a great platform from what it seems but needs a huge fix within how you guys do your credit system. As well as Lee told me there is no way for them to credit my account for upload my album properly like it should have been , I’ll be moving to a platform that actually has a support team willing to provide all information about there platform and how uploading works. As well as a platform that’s not looking to charge you $200+ dollars to release an album. That’s a joke to independent artists and for you guys not being even close as big it’s ridiculous the price you charge , that’s probably why a staff member is gone every weekend.

UPDATE: after leaving my review I was contacted by Sophie and Lee. Lee personally called me to try and fix the issue , we got all but one issue fixed which was still a hastle but everything was fixed or given a solution.

ive been trying to transfer my music from distrokid to here and while doing so they didnt have all my songs available for transfer so i email distribution team 2-3 times nothing its been 3 weeks dry my music still in review which i dont understand why and i cant get in contact with support at all. I want to use this platform for all the things available like publishing and syncing but this is awful. i want to buy pro but waiting on the fact cant even an answer an email about transfering my music almost been a month.

I don’t understand that cause my username on here is the same thing so feels like you lying here, my account name is frealparker and its under email frealparker@ gm

Like if you can’t find an account yall

Hi Freal, after calling, speaking to you and numerous emails trying to resolve any of your issues, we can't meet your expectations, so I have refunded your Pro Account and wish you the best of luck using another distribution service. Sorry, this hasn't worked out for you as expected. Music Gateway

Generally helpful team - communication needs improvement

While the team was generally helpful, we were disappointed with the campaign's outcomes and the level of communication throughout. We understand that radio campaigns can be unpredictable, but we found that the majority of the results stemmed from our own outreach rather than the efforts of the team. Additionally, we felt that there was a lack of enthusiasm from the colleague overseeing our campaign, which impacted our overall experience.

While this service may be suitable for certain projects, we believe there are better opportunities available for achieving a more reliable return on
investment (ROI).

good to know that you don’t need a label to access this kind of help.

I haven’t used their service yet but plan to for my next release. Marcus was great and knowing this service exists gives me confidence for my project. So good to know that you don’t need a label to access this kind of help.

Great service and attention to detail from their support team. Replied in less than 24 hours, providing with a solution, recommendation to a mistake that was being done in our submission and kept all stakeholders of our project in the loop. Felt very personalized and human and not automated.

1000% Reccommend

They delivered even better results than promised. And the curators they connected me to actually loved my song, and kept the song in their rotation a bit longer. I'm an independent artist based in the USA, and I have used many other playlist pitching platforms. Gateway is the most effective and legit resource I've used.
