Songtradr Distributes to TikTok

Songtradr users can now distribute to TikTok, the video-sharing social networking service with over 1.5 billion downloads worldwide. 

The platform with over 500 million active users is well-known for its bite-sized, often music-driven mobile videos. While TikTok began as a more music-focused platform, it evolved into a hub of diverse short-form content. This includes comedic sketches, magic tricks, and inspirational videos. Still, music distribution remains a large part of TikTok, with artists of all genres gaining notoriety on the app. For example, you may remember the musical phenomenon that was Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” The iconic song got its start on none other than TikTok. The app’s General Manager Vanessa Pappas even gave the rapper a shout-out to congratulate him on his success following the “Yee Yee Juice” craze that started it all. 

Lil Nas X isn’t the only artist to build a following through TikTok. Ambjaay’s “Uno” and Y2k and bbno$’s “Lalala,” among many others, first made waves on the platform. 

TikTok promotes fun and unique ways to discover new videos. Users join in “Hashtag Challenges” that encourage engagement surrounding new and trending topics. You can even search videos by genre, or by specific tags. As a Songtradr artist, getting involved takes no extra effort on your part. As long as you’re using Songtradr, you can opt-in to have your music distributed to TikTok. If a video happens to use your music, Songtradr users receive 100% of any distribution royalties. Now that you’re all caught up, go explore the social media app taking the world by storm.
