If you are under 18, you can still release your music through Rapchat Distro. However, there are some important considerations regarding royalty payouts that you need to be aware of.
Releasing Music
As a young artist, you are welcome to use Rapchat Distro to distribute your music to various platforms. You can follow the same process as other users to upload and release your tracks.
Receiving Royalty Payouts
To receive royalty payouts, there are specific requirements you must meet:
Tipalti Account Setup: Rapchat Distro uses Tipalti for processing royalty payments. If you are under 18, you cannot set up a Tipalti account in your name.
Adult Recipient: You will need to set up the Tipalti account with a recipient who is over 18. This could be a parent, guardian, or any trusted adult who can manage the payouts on your behalf.
Information Sharing: Ensure that the adult recipient’s information is accurately entered in the Tipalti account settings. This will ensure that royalty payments are processed smoothly and reach the right person.
Important Note
While you can create and distribute your music through Rapchat Distro, ensure you comply with all legal requirements and obtain consent from your parent or guardian when necessary. Managing royalty payments through an adult recipient is a temporary solution until you reach the legal age to handle your own financial accounts.
