Financial Terms and Revenue Sharing

How Much You Earn and How the Commission Works

At Sundesire Media Worx, the artist is at the core of the entire system. We operate strictly under a Revenue Share model — with no upfront payments, no subscriptions, and no hidden fees.

The Core Working Principle

  • you do not pay to upload your tracks;
  • you do not pay to publish your releases;
  • you do not pay for distribution in advance;
  • if your music earns nothing — you pay nothing, and we earn nothing as well.

The commission is deducted only from royalties you actually earn.

Standard Commission Rates

  • 30% — standard commission under non-exclusive cooperation;
  • 25% — reduced rate under an exclusive agreement;
  • custom terms — available for labels and rights holders with large catalogs.

All commission rates are fixed in the contract and never change unilaterally.

Why You Ultimately Earn More

  • direct contracts with major digital platforms without intermediaries;
  • maximum possible royalty rates from DSPs;
  • transparent financial reporting;
  • no fixed fees that reduce your income at the start.

What Is Included in the Platform’s Commission

  • delivery to 150+ digital stores worldwide;
  • free ISRC and EAN codes;
  • metadata preparation and quality control;
  • release updates and corrections;
  • access to the DMB Dashboard;
  • financial reporting and technical support.

You retain full creative freedom and do not risk your own funds.

In summary: you do not pay to join, upload, or distribute your music. The platform earns only when you earn. All terms are transparent, contract-based, and designed for long-term growth.
