We don’t own artists.
We support them.
Stand One Records exists to remove friction, not take control.
Flat pricing. Transparent support. Zero rights grabs.

the Deal

Artist-First Backend
& Release Support

 

Music isn’t broken. The system around it is. Most artists don’t struggle because of the work itself. They stall because the backend is confusing, opaque, or quietly predatory.

Stand One Records exists to do the opposite.

  • We don’t take ownership.
  • We don’t take streaming percentages.
  • We don’t lock artists into long-term contracts.

We handle the backend so you can focus on the work.

How It Works

You keep ownership. We handle the backend. You choose how involved we are.

  1. Choose a tier based on how much support you want.
  2. Onboarding: we connect accounts, review catalog, confirm rights and splits.
  3. Releases: you deliver finished masters; we handle delivery, metadata, royalties, and rights protection.
  4. Ongoing support depends on your tier.
  5. Change anytime: upgrade, downgrade, pause, or leave—no penalties.
