Music Distribution in Nigeria
From Lagos to Port Harcourt, ORB Entertainment gets your Afrobeats, Afropop or Alté release onto Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, TikTok and 150+ stores worldwide. You can pay your subscription in Naira through Paystack and request royalties from your ORB wallet using a saved payout method.
Built for the home of Afrobeats
Nigeria is the engine room of African music. Afrobeats, Afropop, Alté and street-hop from here set the global tempo, and platforms like Boomplay and TikTok often deliver more streams at home than any Western service. ORB treats both as first-class stores, so your first fans — the ones in Naija — can find you on day one.
The barrier for most Nigerian artists has never been talent; it's been getting paid. ORB keeps the exact withdrawal amount in its immutable wallet ledger and staff process requests. Local-bank destinations use the bank's supported local currency; wire, PayPal, and Payoneer destinations use USD.
