Most distributors stop at delivery. Asterisk runs the whole release — stores, playlist pitching in your language, Meta campaigns, and the visuals that go with them — from one account.
Sample account. Delivery is the easy half — the campaign is what decides whether the record is heard.
One upload, delivered everywhere
Hiring a distributor, a playlist plugger, a media buyer, and an animator means four invoices and four people who never talk to each other. Here they share the same release calendar.
Unlimited releases to every store that matters, with the rights and the accounting handled properly.
Playlist pitching by language, paid social run by people who buy music ads daily, and the creative to feed it.
Ship a single every fortnight without watching a counter or paying per upload.
Ad spend and royalty income on the same page, so you know what a stream actually costs.
Non-exclusive, no ownership grab. Export the catalogue and leave whenever you want.
A Punjabi track submitted to a generic "new music" pool dies there. We pitch to editorial and to a curator network built language by language — with the pitch written by someone who understands the lyric.
No placement is bought and none is guaranteed. Curators say no often, and when they do you'll see it in the report along with the reason.
Reels and Stories campaigns aimed at the markets where your language already lives — Punjab, Delhi, Toronto, Birmingham, Melbourne. We optimise to cost per listener, and we'll tell you when a record isn't worth more spend.
Ads need footage and a song needs a face. Our studio arm makes both — hand-drawn animation, AI-assisted video, and the short-form cutdowns that actually get spent against.
Looping animated artwork built to your waveform, cut for Canvas, Reels, and YouTube.
Typeset in Gurmukhi, Devanagari, or Roman script — kerned by hand, not auto-generated.
Full narrative videos generated and comped shot by shot, then graded and edited by a human.
Single artwork plus a pack of vertical ad creatives sized for every placement.
Distribution is a flat annual subscription. Marketing is priced per release, so you only pay for a campaign when there's a record worth running one on. All prices in USD.
Distribution only, for one artist name shipping their own catalogue.
Distribution plus the campaign tools, publishing, and a pitch on every release.
For catalogues and imprints running several releases a month.
No. You pay the subscription and keep every dollar the stores report. Marketing is billed separately and never as a percentage of your income.
No, and be careful with anyone who does. We guarantee the pitch, the curator list, and a report showing every yes and no.
You do, directly to Meta from your own ad account. Our fee covers the work, so there's no markup hidden in the media buy.
Yes. Campaigns and visuals are available standalone if your catalogue is elsewhere.
Yes. Keep your existing ISRCs and transfer without resetting play counts or release dates.
Generated footage, directed and assembled by a person — shot list, grade, edit, and sound sync are all human. You'll see storyboards before anything renders.
Put it in every store, pitch it in its own language, and put real money behind it — from one account, in one report.
