FAQ
Product, pricing, your rights, the Crown Score, and more — direct answers, no fine print.
One Crown Records is the back office for your career. You make music, we run the business: distribution, royalty collection, legal protection, marketing, and direct sales — all under one interface.
They upload your files to the platforms. We run your entire business: distribution + legal shield + transparent finances + strategy through Crown Score + an AI advisor that reads your catalog in real time. They're a distributor; we're the layer that sits between you and all of that infrastructure.
No. It's designed specifically for the artist who's just building their base (hundreds to a few thousand listeners) and needs structure from day one — just as much as for the artist who's already earning and needs fine-grained control over their finances.
Never, under any circumstance. You keep 100% of your masters by contract, always. This is the Iron Clause, and it has no exceptions.
They're separate, entirely optional financial contracts: a share of future income for a defined term. Under no scenario do they ever involve transferring ownership of your music. (Coming soon — unlocked on the merit of your Crown Score.)
Crown Basics ($12.99/month) is the foundation: distribution to 470+ platforms with 100% of your royalties, a legal shield (Content ID, short-form audio monetization), transparent finances with automatic splits, and your Crown Score with weekly missions. Crown Pro ($49/month) adds Discovery Mode, Fan Blast, The Vault, and cover licensing. Crown Signature ($300/month) is by application with limited spots: priority executive support, premium formats (Dolby Atmos, Apple Digital Master), your own domain, and access to Advance Funding.
You're not switching distributors — you're replacing your accountant, your lawyer, and your analyst. We audit your YouTube, recover the Publishing royalties that are quietly slipping away from you today, manage your splits down to the cent, and give you the exact roadmap to grow — not just an upload button.
Yes. There's no lock-in contract on Basics or Pro — cancel whenever you want, with a grace period, and your music and your history stay yours.
Not on Basics or Pro — it's month to month. Crown Signature works differently: it's by application and limited spots, built for projects that already qualify on merit.
It's a transparent rules engine — not a black box, not a magic algorithm. It doesn't judge your music — it measures your operational discipline: release consistency, retention, revenue traction, collaborations, and audience capture. You run from 0 to 100, and you can see exactly what each action adds.
No, and anyone who promises you that isn't telling you the truth. We give you the infrastructure to pitch with lead time and consistency — the final call always belongs to a human curator, and the consistency and traction they evaluate are exactly what your Crown Score measures.
Your conversational career advisor, built into the portal. It reads your business in real time — your score, your releases, your balance — and tells you exactly what to move first to grow, with the actual math, not generic advice.
Never. Crown AI can suggest an action, but any real change always requires your explicit confirmation in the portal. Zero automatic writes: you press the button, always.
Streaming platforms report with a 2-to-3-month delay — that's true industry-wide, not something specific to us. As soon as the report arrives, it shows up automatically in your ledger.
You set them up from your release details before publishing: add your collaborators by email with their percentage, the system won't let you go over 100%, and it splits down to the cent. Setting it up before you launch prevents more fights than anything else.
If you don't have short-form audio protection and monetization turned on, that virality generates literally $0 for you. It's the most painful discovery we see — and it's exactly what the 360 Legal Shield exists to prevent.

It's 20 spots for the first generation of artists. If you bring in 3 referrals from the waitlist, you get access 24 hours before the general public — on August 30.
Yes. Your information is isolated and protected per artist, and your payment method never directly touches our servers — it passes through certified payment gateways. No one else sees your numbers.
Yes. Your fan list and your business history are your asset, not ours — they're exportable.
From Settings, message us directly and the team reviews it. Crown Signature has priority response guaranteed by an SLA (a response-time commitment) — which isn't the same thing as 24/7 support.
Right now we're focused on Hispanic artists in the United States and in Mexico's major urban centers, so we can give the best support and payment experience possible while we scale to more countries.
