Our Story

We're building the fair music industry

Drimystic Records was founded by two independent artists who were tired of giving away 15% of their royalties to distributors who added no value. We exist to put power — and money — back in the hands of creators.

Our Mission

Make distribution invisible so artists can focus on art

For decades, the music industry treated independent artists as second-class citizens. Distribution was expensive, slow, and opaque. Royalties were paid months late, with vague accounting and hidden fees.

We're changing that. Drimystic puts world-class distribution, analytics, and payments in every artist's hands — at a price that respects their craft.

No gatekeepers. No middlemen. No bullshit. Just you, your music, and 150+ stores worldwide.

100% royalties on paid plans
No per-release fees
Transparent accounting

We're not here to be the next DistroKid or TuneCore. We're here to make them obsolete — by treating artists like the owners of their own music, not the product.

What We Stand For

Our values

Artist-first, always

Every product decision starts with one question: does this help independent artists get paid fairly?

Radical transparency

No hidden fees, no shady accounting. Every stream, every cent, every store — visible in your dashboard.

Ship fast, ship right

We release every two weeks. New stores, new tools, new reports — driven by artist feedback.

Built by musicians

Half our team are working musicians. We use Drimystic to release our own music — every day.

Global by default

We support 40+ currencies, 13 languages, and stores in every continent. Local payouts, everywhere.

Fair to creators

We fight for higher payouts, better metadata standards, and editorial access for indies — not just majors.
