Spinnup is an online digital music distribution service that launched early 2013. Spinnup is a DIY distribution platform that offers an aggregator service to musicians and unsigned artists so they can distribute their music worldwide via online retailers such as Deezer[1], Spotify[2], iTunes[3], Apple Music[4], Tidal, Rhapsody, Amazon Music and Google Play[5]. The site also has a network of ‘scouts’ who are looking to discover and mentor new talent on Spinnup and help them find a record deal.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] As a Universal Music owned company, the scouts have a relationship with A&Rs at Universal Music's labels and meet with them regularly to pitch music and artists they find on Spinnup.[15]

History and overview

Spinnup was developed and launched by Universal Music in Sweden in 2013.[16] Spinnup operates in Sweden, Denmark, UK, France, Norway and Germany but is available worldwide for distribution.[17][18][19]

In July 2014 Spinnup launched in the UK,[20][21] the same month as Albin, a Swedish artist who signed a record deal with Universal Music after using Spinnup to distribute his track "Din Soldat", reached number one in Sweden with the song.[22] Later that year Swedish house music duo Vigiland followed with a record contract with Universal Music after emerging through Spinnup.[23]

New artists who have signed record deals after using Spinnup and being 'Scouted' include Mavrick,[24] Alfons and IRO in Sweden.[25] Model Aeroplanes were the first UK band to earn themselves a record deal after signing to Island Records through Spinnup in 2015.[26] In May 2017, Spinnup celebrated its 31st artist signing to Universal Music with Swedish artist Milwin.[27]

In late 2016 Spinnup announced it had reached over 100,000 registered artists on the platform. [28]
