Getting your music around the country was up to a distributor that got tied to a somewhat effective record deal. Your record deal specified all of the essential elements of whether or not your audience could be grown in Asia, or Africa, or the Caribbean for that matter. All sorts of fees were associated to this distribution kind of deal, and any advances were recouped or taken back at an outrageous rate. Thus leaving your rate of return pretty low if you were a beginning artist working with a small or indie distributor.
Now, we all know that things have changed. Follow these steps and get your music distributed literally worldwide (web and not web)! There are aggregate distributors that will give you this service for pennies on the dollar.
This is not a one size fits all and you should read carefully the fine print. But, for the most part, you will get state of the art digital and physical distribution only comparable to well...now days!
So who is this big time aggregate distributor? There are many effective ones, and setting up with them is as simple as signing up for a Google account. By the way your music will be sold on Google Play as well as iTunes, played and sold on Spotify, and many more places on the web and on the earth!
In other words, the days of exclusivity have been over, and indeed the "indie" way is the new pop!
