Music Distribution in Nigeria

From Lagos to Port Harcourt, ORB Entertainment gets your Afrobeats, Afropop or Alté release onto Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, Audiomack and 150+ stores worldwide. You pay your subscription in Naira through Paystack, and your royalties land in an ORB wallet you withdraw straight to your Nigerian bank — no dollar account needed.

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 Audiomack 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. International distributors that only accept and pay out in dollars leave you fighting for a foreign account and losing money on conversions. ORB removes that wall entirely: Naira in, Naira out.

How to distribute your music from Nigeria

From signup to live across Nigeria and the world:

Create your free ORB account: Sign up and complete your artist profile. Your first release is free on the Free plan — no card required to start.

Upload your release: Add your WAV audio, cover art, song titles and songwriters. ORB validates your metadata so stores don't reject it.

Pay in Naira via Paystack: Upgrade to the Artist plan at ₦5,000/mo when you're ready. Never blocked for funds — on paid plans you can submit on credit and pay later.

Go live & withdraw to your bank: Your music is typically live in 7–15 days. Royalties collect in your ORB wallet for withdrawal to any Nigerian bank.
