The open-upload era is ending, and artists are paying for it.
Labels are suing distributors over altered masters and bot streams. The distributors are tightening up, and the holds land on artists who did nothing wrong.
The single gets pulled the week it drops
Open-upload distributors check after you submit. A filter built for someone else's fraud catches your record on release week.
The statement shows a hold
When a label sues a distributor, the liability flows downhill. Payouts freeze for artists who had nothing to do with it.
Nobody picks up
A ticket, a form reply, no reason given. A paused release can sit for weeks while the pre-saves go stale.
Built around the release cycle, not a feature list.
LYVO follows a record from the split sheet to the statement. Every step is handled where it happens, by the people who need to sign off.
- 01
Before release day
- Verify once, then build the release: credits, lyrics, artwork, territories, release date.
- The split sheet gets signed in the app. Master and publishing shares are recorded together.
- Samples are matched and licensed before the master goes anywhere.
- 02
Release week
- Delivered to every store on the date you set, with pre-save live ahead of it.
- The fan hub, merch and presales go up with the release, not months later.
- If anything pauses, the reason and the fix are on the same screen.
- 03
After release
- Statements you can read line by line, with every collaborator paid from the same one.
- Advances against your own streaming history when the next record needs funding.
- Your codes, your catalog, your fan list. Export any of it if you ever leave.

- Government ID and a quick selfie check, once, not per release
- Your master checked against the sample registry and the commercial catalog
- Every hold names the reason and the fix on the same screen
