David DannFounder · Mind of a Genius & GTD

Independent artists have had distribution for years. What they have never had is development at this price. That is the gap we built GTD to close, and you can hear it in how fast these artists are growing.

Kenny ‘Tick’ SalcidoFounder & CEO · Renaissance Entertainment

The industry has needed something like this for a long time. Artists here are getting real feedback and real rooms, and it is turning into opportunities most independents never get access to.

Markell CaseyA&R · Worldwide Tracks

I have sat in a lot of feedback sessions, and what happens at Green Tea is different. Artists are shaping their sound release after release instead of guessing, and that is what builds a career.

★How we compare

Same music. Different support.

Every distributor gets your song on Spotify. The difference is what happens before you release it, and who picks up when you need a human.

Competitor features and pricing taken from their public plan pages, checked 28 August 2026: DistroKid Musician, TuneCore Rising Artist and UnitedMasters SELECT. All three sell higher tiers with more tools, and UnitedMasters does not publish a price for its entry DEBUT+ plan. We are not cheaper than a pure distributor, and we are not trying to be: the difference is the team, the rooms and the feedback that come with it.

★A&R feedback, explained

Real ears. Before you release.

Every member gets professional A&R feedback on every release. Here is how it actually works.

01

Submit your track

Upload from your dashboard before release day, the same place you distribute from. Every release, not a lottery.

02

The team listens

You get specific, timestamped notes back: the hook that lands late, the mix that buries the vocal, the arrangement that loses the ear.

03

Release with direction

Fix what is fixable while you still can, then ship with a clear read on what is working. Release after release, your catalog gets sharper.

Who is listening

The Mind of a Genius A&R team, the ears that developed ZHU, Gallant, and THEY. from first signings to the global stage. The same team hosts Green Tea Radio live every week.

Verse two starts strong, but the vocal sits under the keys. Bring it forward.

The pre-chorus build is the moment. Hold the drop one more bar.

Why it matters: feedback catches the fixable things while you can still act on them.Reply

★From our artists

Don’t take our word. Take theirs.

It allowed me to fully step into who I was destined to be as an artist. The perfect one-stop for a creative.JALEN CHORDS · Artist on GTD

Over the past year, Green Tea Distro has been a huge part of me taking the next step in my career, providing quick, in depth support with distribution while also offering valuable A&R guidance. With their help, I’ve landed the most editorial placements I’ve ever had, including my very first two Apple Music editorials, and I’m grateful to have a team that’s genuinely invested in helping me grow as an artist.YONI · Artist on GTD

Between the playlist pitching, the live industry feedback and the ability to actually talk to a team that listens, GTD has helped me grow in every direction.FARINAS · Artist on GTD

What makes Green Tea different is the real support. I’ve never felt more seen as an independent artist. This isn’t just tech, it’s a real community.CASANDRA · Artist on GTD

Before you join.

Yes. You keep your masters and 100% of your net royalties. GTD never takes ownership and there is no exclusivity trap.

You get access to the GTD dashboard the same day: upload releases, submit tracks for A&R feedback, join the Discord, and jump into the next Green Tea Radio and Friday Office Hours.

Yes, and you will not lose your streams or playlists. Transfers keep your existing ISRCs so your play counts carry over. We walk you through it.

Submit a track from your dashboard. The Mind of a Genius A&R team listens and returns specific, timestamped notes before you release. Every release, not a lottery.

You submit tracks through the pitching portal in your dashboard. We pitch submissions directly to DSP curators and sync agents through relationships built over a decade. Submissions are pitched selectively; nobody can honestly promise every song gets placed, and we will not pretend otherwise.

You can cancel anytime. To keep your catalog live without full membership, freeze your plan for $9.99/month.

No contract, no per-release fees, no hidden add-ons. One membership covers unlimited releases.

Yes. Members can book a 1-on-1 call with the A&R team once a month, through the Calendly link in your dashboard. That is on top of the written feedback you get on every release and the weekly live sessions. Bring a rollout plan, a mix you are stuck on, or a career question, and talk it through with someone who has done it before. Need a full team running your rollout day to day? That is a different company now. Meet them here.
