Artist Partnership

Everything that comes
with KMA Records.

$499/year. Renewable annually. Cancel at any time with 30 days notice. Every layer of royalty infrastructure included — no hidden fees, no piecemeal add-ons. 100% of this fee goes directly into funding your career infrastructure.

The Cost-Recovery Promise: We do not profit from the $499 annual fee. It exists solely to cover the hard, out-of-pocket costs of building your global royalty infrastructure: absorbing the Songtrust onboarding fee, funding SubmitHub curator credits, covering administrative labor for ASCAP/SoundExchange registration, and executing formal radio/TV pitching campaigns. We build the pipeline; you keep the wealth.
