- 01
The label field usually shows the artist’s name or a label name the artist made up. It rarely names the distributor.

The ℗ line usually names the artist, with no “under exclusive license to” wording.
- 03
ISRCs are often issued by the distributor, so many releases share the distributor’s registrant code.
Common questions
DistroKid questions.
How can I tell if a song was released through DistroKid?
Paste the song’s Spotify or TikTok link into Pulse and it shows the distributor. By hand, check the source in the Spotify credits, then the ℗ line, the ISRC registrant code and the UPC prefix. See the full guide.
Does the label name on Spotify say DistroKid?
Usually not. The label field shows the artist’s name or a label name they chose, so you need the distributor lookup to see DistroKid.
Is an artist on DistroKid signed?
DistroKid is a self-serve distributor, so artists who release through it are usually self-released. Check the ℗ line for “under exclusive license to” to be sure.
