Castro Music

Castro Music is a record company and digital music services provider that positions itself as a leader in music distribution for music labels. According to its official website, the company offers B2B distribution agreements and music publishing management, giving labels and independent artists access to a global distribution network. Its stated approach relies on the implementation of DDEX standards so that metadata is delivered with high quality and music is placed prominently on major streaming and direct download platforms. The company's core service is digital music distribution. Castro Music distributes music to every major DSP (digital service provider) and digital store around the world, naming platforms such as Spotify and iTunes as examples. It markets itself as a simpler, more direct alternative to consumer-facing distributors such as Tunecore, CD Baby, ONErpm, or Amuse, emphasizing a more direct relationship with artists and labels. Beyond distribution, Castro Music provides music publishing administration: it collects royalties generated by music worldwide, including mechanical royalties and publishing royalties, covering streams, covers, and radio spins regardless of where the music is played, all managed from a single platform. A third service line is music promotion. Once music has been released, Castro Music helps promote it to new listeners and reconnect with existing audiences through programmatic campaigns on Spotify and Google Adwords. The company's services page lists digital music distribution and music publishing administration as its two main offerings. Castro Music is recorded in Wikidata as a record company. It operates in the music industry as a business-to-business service provider rather than as a traditional artist-facing record label. Its website invites labels and artists to apply for distribution agreements. The company does not disclose its founding year, headquarters, ownership, or executive team in the available evidence, and no public listing status is indicated.
