Budding musician? Spotify is here to lend a hand paying the bills and getting your ahead-of-the-curve EP out to a wider audience. It’s just inked a deal with Ditto Music to allow unsigned artists to upload their own tracks on to the music streaming service, and even get paid for doing so!
Spotify has made it as easy to download tracks you like as it is for an MP to get a mortgage on a non-existent home, but the service has just made it even simpler for budding musicians to share the songs with Spotify’s 1m+ audience. Under a new deal with digital music distribution specialist Ditto Music, Spotify will now stream the entire Ditto catalogue of songs, which you can contribute to for next to nothing, and payout royalties to any artists played.

Before you start posting those recordings of you singing in the shower for all to hear in Spotify, bear in mind that Ditto Music requires a £2 a month subscription, which could well cancel out all those PRS-approved royalties if you’re not good enough. There could be a reason you’re not signed to a major label, you know. Expect this to be the new mandatory web space for bands to use, now that MySpace is old hat.
