Roc Nation, an entertainment company that encompasses music, sports management, film, and more, recently announced a merger of two existing divisions that will provide a new opportunity for artists. With the merger of the label and the company’s Equity Distribution arm, the new distribution division will empower all artists who sign while allowing them to remain independent.
The new venture will give signees access to a bevy of resources that includes advice from label staff, data analytics, technology, and more, all while maintaining their independence, which includes keeping control of their master recordings.
More from a recent press release:
ROC Nation distribution is a hybrid, offering a unique blend of services. Artists who partner with ROC Nation distribution are independent, retain ownership of their master’s and creative control of their art. Artists also receive data analytics from a proprietary dashboard and have the ability to opt into various services across the company. We will sign all artists in all genres around the world.
Roc Nation was founded with an independent spirit and an artist-first mentality. The formation of ROC Nation distribution is a natural transition in the music space. The mission is to support and empower independent artists while providing them the tools and services to distribute their music. All artists signed to Roc Nation Label will join and benefit from the new ROC Nation distribution structure.
