Sunset Connect will make use of Republic's leading distribution platform to provide new artists worldwide distribution into iTunes, eMusic, Nokia and many more music stores and services. In addition, artists will have the possibility of participating in label showcases, creating and producing proper studio demos, or receiving professional reviews of their music by an artist or member of the company’s A&R team. And as the careers of unsigned artists grow, they may benefit from having a number of artist-discovery, marketing and upstreaming opportunities within Republic.

Why Digital Only Today:
The overall concept of Sunset Connect is an easy one. Its development in the modern age because what we do for every artist is keep them recouped right away at Sunset Connect, while we place at the top mediums and outlets around the world..

There are never any fees and if these great sources do charge a fee to place your music on the radio, in the press and in the stores, they are not a record label. There are never any fees at Sunset and aside from spending money making promos and making actual product to fill stores all over the world, this is the best way to have your music placed in a major distribution system.

Artist Royalty:
We pay 70% of all the revenues we make from every angles at Sunset Connect. There is no difference using our system than say going direct to iTunes because you get paid the same money. We just work your music to radio, press and for potential placement at TV, Film and in Commercials.
