200MM Weve Paid $200 Million to Our Artists!Thank you for helping us reach this major milestone.

To celebrate, we’ve got some special offers for you.

As a CD Baby artist, you’re a part of the new music business. You’re in control of your own career. And if you’re talented and motivated, you can make real money from your music! I see proof of this every single week here at CD Baby.

Over the past 13 years, we’ve made it easy for hundreds of thousands of artists around the world to sell their music without record labels taking a big bite out of their paychecks. And every Monday, CD Baby pays out big money directly to the independent music community.

This November, the amount paid to CD Baby artists surpassed 200 million dollars! That’s a huge milestone, not just for us, but also for independent artists everywhere who’ve chosen to be part of the new music economy.

While we’re completely thrilled to have reached that mark, we’re also aware that the congratulations should really go to you. Within larger artist communities, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that creating, promoting, and selling YOUR music is an act of bravery. Truly. Please stay proud of that achievement! And know that we are incredibly thankful that you’ve allowed CD Baby to play our part in the process.

    That’s fantastic! Can the promotion possibly modified to where we can buy 1 or 3 album credits using this promotion? My album is not yet complete, but it will be in a few months!
