What is Duetti?：

Duetti acquires music catalogs from independent artists a-la-carte with transparent, data-driven deals. Fund your career and breathe new life into tracks with uniquely intelligent marketing. Partner with us one track at a time, or even just a percentage of one.

Duetti democratizes the music business.
We enable artists to monetize their music catalogs on their own terms.
We are fueled by a future of financial empowerment, a future where artists control their careers.

The above is the introduction on Duetti official website, but I don’t quite understand it. Is it a distribution platform similar to DistroKid?

idk if it should be mergee into [no-label], what’s your thoughts on this? :thinking:

I can’t tell what sort of label they are, doesn’t quite seem like a distributor tho? idk

either way, if they are a distributor (or similar), it shouldn’t get merged into [no label], since we have plenty of non-imprint labels for relationship purposes, including DistroKid

Then Duetti should be used for copyright only, like DistroKid, not for labels.

I think I mess what I meant. What I meant was, for digital music released through Duetti, should its label be [no-label] or Duetti?

for that, I don’t know… mostly because I have no idea what Duetti is (even after reading their website), lol

As far as I can tell they buy the rights to music.

Whether they consider themselves a “label” I don’t know. I suspect that the distinction isn’t important to them, they seem to be interested in buying music and then on-selling via streaming services. But it’s hard to say…

If so, in a practical sense it might make sense to track them both as label and as rights holder in MB, since for all intents and purposes they act as a label (they publish/put out/release/market the music), when it comes to releasing stuff in the digital realm. Which is kind of a grey area for “label” anyway.
