FAQs

Yes, for Newcomer and Headliner accounts, you can create an account and start distributing your music immediately. For Icon and Mogul tiers, we require a brief application. Since these tiers involve physical warehousing and dedicated project management, we review applications to ensure we are the right partner for your logistical needs.
This is about Service vs. Software.
● Headliners (15%): You are primarily using our software for digital distribution. Because you are generating revenue, we drop your rate to 15% so you keep more profit.
● Icons (20%): You are using our infrastructure and staff. This tier includes global physical warehousing, shipping logistics, and a dedicated Project Manager. The slightly higher rate covers the human labor and overhead required to manage a physical retail strategy.
Absolutely. We recommend starting as a Headliner to maximize your digital margins. When you are ready to manufacture vinyl and tour, you can upgrade to Icon to unlock our warehousing and project management services.

Most distributors only collect money from one source: the streaming service. But your music earns mechanical and performance royalties that often sit in a "black box" because of bad data. Our proprietary engine scans global databases to match your sound recordings with publishing data, finding and collecting this "orphaned" income.
100%. Paravel Global is an infrastructure partner, not a record label that takes your masters. We simply license the right to distribute and collect royalties on your behalf. You can leave at any time (subject to the terms of your agreement).

Real-world logistics carry real-world costs. Unlike digital files, vinyl takes up space, requires freight shipping, and involves complex retail returns. We reserve these services for artists who have an established fanbase ready to purchase physical goods, ensuring our warehouse resources are focused on releases that move units.
No, we distribute it. We are not a "print-on-demand" shop. We operate with a global warehousing network (US, UK, EU). We hold your stock and ship it directly to independent record shops, wholesalers, and major chains worldwide.

We have a dedicated Enterprise Migration Team for this exact purpose. We handle the metadata ingestion, royalty mapping, and physical stock transfer to our warehouses. We build a custom transition plan to ensure your streams and monthly revenue remain stable during the move.
Scale. The Mogul tier is built for catalogs. It includes bulk upload tools, custom royalty splits (so you can pay your artists automatically), and white-glove account management. It is an enterprise solution for running a label, not just an artist career.
