Definitely! We accept cover songs into our music distribution network and will gladly distribute your music. Our major music retail partners accept covers as well, so you don't have to worry about your songs getting rejected because they're covers. All you have to do is find out who the publisher is of the song and receive permission to reproduce it. There are a few key places we recommend looking in order to find out this information: ASCAP, BMI, and SongFile. These organizations are rights management groups which keep track of the licenses associated with certain songs. Through them, you'll be able to determine who the publisher is of the song you're interested in covering.

It's important to ensure that you have permission from the publisher to distribute and profit from the cover song. While covering a song is a great way to promote your music since it shows songs you favor and what you sound like, performing and profiting from that song without the permission of the publisher can get messy with legal issues. So, avoid the hassle and gain permission from the publisher before you submit your song to us. We distribute your music as a cover song the same way we would other songs and albums - all we need you to do is submit your album information, artwork, and tracks, and we then take care of the rest for you.

SongCast provides you with the tools you need to promote your music successfully to a global audience. Through the extensive amount of features available to our members, we'll be able to help you expand your audience in such a way that you'll be reaching more listeners, gaining more fans, and earning more royalties - 100% of which you get to keep!
