No. EEDG is a distribution company — not a label that signs artists. You retain 100% ownership of your masters and publishing at all times. We distribute your music on your behalf — nothing more.
EEDG distributes through The Orchard, enabling full monetization across video platforms including YouTube Music, Vevo, and TikTok. A music video maximizes your revenue streams and YouTube Content ID earnings. This is a firm requirement with no exceptions.
Total royalties collected from all platforms are paid quarterly by The Orchard. EEDG retains 20% as a distribution fee — auto-deducted before your payout. You receive 80% of everything earned. No additional fees. No hidden charges.
After EEDG's quality review, your release is submitted to The Orchard. Delivery to all 150+ platforms typically takes 30–60 days from Orchard submission. This is why we require a minimum 60-day advance notice before your release date.
