Roc Nationan entertainment company that includes music, sports management, film and more, recently announced the merger of two existing divisions that will provide a new opportunity for artists. By merging the label and the company's Equity Distribution arm, the new distribution division will empower all signed artists while allowing them to remain independent.
The new venture will give signees access to a range of resources including advice from label staff, data analysis, technology and more, while maintaining their independence, which includes control of their master recordings.
More from a recent press release:
The ROC Nation distribution is a hybrid, offering a unique combination of services. Artists working with ROC Nation distribution are independent, retaining ownership of their master and creative control of their art. Artists also receive data analytics from a dedicated dashboard and have the ability to choose various services across the company. We will sign all artists in all genres worldwide.
Roc Nation was founded with an independent spirit and an artist first mentality. Forming ROC Nation distribution is a natural transition into the music space. The mission is to support and empower independent artists by providing them with the tools and services to distribute their music. All artists signed to the Roc Nation Label will join and benefit from the new ROC Nation distribution structure.
