Spinnup is a distribution platform of the Universal Music Group that offers musicians and unsigned artists the opportunity to publish their music worldwide through online retailers such as Deezer , Spotify , iTunes , Apple Music , Amazon Music , Google Play and Napster . A special feature of Spinnup is that the artists keep their rights to their songs, but have to pay for distribution. In addition, the sales department offers collaboration with talent scouts who are looking for new music and new artists.

Emergence

Spinnup was developed and founded in 2013 by Universal Music in Sweden . The online sales locations are Sweden, Denmark, England, France, Norway and Germany, with the service being usable worldwide. Spinnup belongs to the label Universal Music and the Spinnup scouts are in close contact with the A & Rs of the major label. In July 2014, Spinnup started under the direction of Karl Nowak in Germany.
