Will I have to pay any money for the services you provide?
No, you don't have to pay any fees. The greatest part of our company, besides giving you the ideal possibility to promote yourself, is that Flipside’s platform is free for artists to upload their music and search for new opportunities via Flipside.

Generally speaking - in the next step we will need some more information about you and your music, therefore, we will ask you to answer a few questions, and in the next email, we will explain further how we can promote you. Then we will ask you to send us a couple of your original tracks, to see if your music and our expectations are on the same wavelength.

Can I still work with other labels and platforms, and keep promoting my music elsewhere?
Flipside offers the possibility for Artists to distribute their Works on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis. If you chose non-exclusive contract then yes, you can! It is a non-exclusive distribution deal. You don't have to limit yourself in any way while cooperating with us. We can help you reach out more listeners and fans through our Music Platform. This will provide the opportunity to further promote you. The character of our cooperation is your choice. Flipside's main goal is to allow all artists to be heard.
Do I have to travel to Flipside’s headquarters to cooperate?
No, you don't have to. Flipside’s office is based in Singapore. We distribute our content worldwide through the biggest digital media platforms including our Music Licensing System, which allows us to reach people in every corner of the world. We use special software and systems for digital signatures to be able to bind our cooperation legally even at a distance.
When will you upload my music on the platforms?
It depends on the character of an album, playlist, compilation: because we are not only distributing your music; if needed we create all the graphic content, cover, metadata. If this or similar marketing actions will be required in order to create an album, it might take a week or two or so for our Marketing Specialists to get everything ready to publish the new album. We will inform you whenever we promote your music or create an album.
Where will you upload my music?
All the stores we cooperate with, to name a few, iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Spotify, Shazam, Amazon, Google Music, Rhapsody, iMusica, Pandora, 7Digital, Anaghami and many more. You will be getting this information in detail in e-mails send anytime we use your music.
What will happen with my tracks once I send to you to be evaluated?
The tracks you will send to us will be used for in-house purposes only. We will not use your music in any way, apart from to be checked and rated by our Quality Music Specialists - until both parties (you as, the artist and Flipside Productions, as the publisher) sign the contract, we cannot use your art in any other way.
If you decide not to sign the contract in the next step, the music you have sent to us will not be passed any further and will be simply erased from our systems.

Can I use DJ mixes, remixes or covers?
Unless you have permission from all concerned parties, it is not possible to upload songs with uncleared samples. You are welcome to upload remixes of your own work. However, if your remix is of another artist's song, or contains any part of another artist's original music without the clearance, we do not want you to use it. It is your responsibility to send us only the music you have rights or you already had done the clearance to. As mentioned in the contract, if we receive any complains or claims from any platform or person we will redirect that claim right to you as a person responsible for the content of music stated as yours.
How can I access the statistics and profits?
Flipside team that takes care of payments will be sending reports on a regular basis. This is stated in detail in the contract.
How do I get paid from compilation album with different artists?
The full royalty will be split between the number of tracks, so if it is a compilation of ten tracks the price is $10, and the share stated in the contract is for example 50%, each track gets $0.5. The final amount is up on the percentage share stated in your contract with Flipside.
Why do you need my ISRC codes assigned to tracks in the past?
ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is a unique identifier assigned to each and any published sound recording. It is used to monetize music and is required to enable this function for the song. When distributing a song, always use the same ISRC code in all territories and music services.
Recording owners assign ISRCs to their recordings, following a simple process. The ISRC system is designed to enable each distinct recording to be identified by a unique ISRC. To allow this, recording owners register to obtain ISRC Registrant Codes, which form the basis of the ISRCs assigned to recordings.
Owners of recordings may, for example, be independent artists, record labels or recording music groups. ISRC is available to all owners of recordings regardless of their membership (or not) with any industry association.
If your track has not been released anywhere yet, or for any other reason there is no ISRC yet assigned, we will take care of issuing the new unique ISRC for you. These codes will be available for you to see in reports we will be sending to you on a regular basis.

Do you register my songs with Performing Rights Organization? Ex. ASCAP/ SIAE / BMI / CASH / COMPASS
For our Exclusively signed artists, yes we do. But for the artists under Non-Exclusive contracts, no, we do not register your music with any agency or organization.
We are only the distributor. You don't need to be registered with a Performing Rights Organization in order to collect your earnings from the stores you distribute to via Flipside.
