Music Distribution for Afrobeats Artists

Afrobeats is now a global genre, but its heartbeat is still in Lagos, Accra and across the diaspora. ORB delivers your release to the platforms Afrobeats fans actually use — Boomplay, Audiomack, Spotify, Apple Music and 150+ more — and pays your royalties into a wallet you can withdraw locally.

Where Afrobeats fans really listen

Afrobeats lives on multiple platforms at once. At home, Boomplay and Audiomack dominate streaming and break new records fast. Abroad, Spotify's editorial hubs and EQUAL Africa, plus Apple Music's African playlists, drive the global discovery that has pushed the genre onto world charts.

Many international distributors treat African stores as an afterthought. ORB is built for African artists, so Boomplay and Audiomack are first-class delivery targets right alongside Spotify and Apple Music — meaning you cover both your home audience and your global one from a single upload.

How to release your Afrobeats single or EP

From studio bounce to live across every store:

Create your ORB account: Sign up free — your first release is included on the Free plan, so you can test the platform before upgrading.

Upload your release: Add your WAV master, 3000×3000 cover art, song titles, featured artists and songwriter credits. ORB validates your metadata so stores accept it the first time.

Pick your stores and set a date: Select Boomplay, Audiomack, Spotify, Apple Music and the rest. On paid plans you're never blocked for funds — submit on credit and pay later.

Build pre-save buzz and go live: Generate a pre-save smart link to warm up Release Radar, then go live in 7–15 days ready for editorial and chart consideration.
