MusicThat is an online platform that aggregates independent music artists and provides tools for distribution, marketing, and fan engagement. Founded in 2018 by a team of former music publishers and software engineers, the company aims to democratize access to music publishing and royalty management without the need for traditional record label contracts. Its primary service offers a cloud‑based dashboard where artists can upload tracks, set licensing terms, and track royalty payments from streaming services and digital downloads. The platform also integrates with popular distribution services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, allowing users to push releases globally with a single upload.

In addition to distribution, MusicThat offers educational resources on copyright, music licensing, and monetization strategies. It publishes monthly analytics reports that help artists gauge listener demographics, streaming performance, and revenue streams. The company emphasizes transparency; all royalty calculations are displayed in real time, and users receive audited statements that can be cross‑checked against third‑party data. MusicThat has partnered with several music education institutions to provide workshops and certifications for emerging artists. The platform’s user base has grown steadily since launch, with over fifty thousand active accounts reported in 2024. The company remains headquartered in San Francisco but serves artists worldwide, supporting multiple languages and regional payment options.
