Roll-out plan
Business model
Music Kickup acts as a label cloud service for artists to use it as their own. Music Kickup handles all contracts, rights management, and industry connections – potentially leaving the artist to concentrate on their art. The cloud label offers them support typical to major labels and specialized tools for creating, collaborating and commercially publishing with global physical and digital distribution.[5]
The artist or band can end the contract freely at will. Cutting ties with the cloud label will not involve any fines, and any created content can be taken elsewhere immediately, or in case of recent commercially release, after a short sales curfew.[5]
