They put your song on shelves.
We put your career in rooms.
Distributors are utilities. Useful, cheap, interchangeable — and they assume every strategic decision of your career is your problem. We built the other thing.
Who decides your strategy?
The utilities
You do. Alone, after a day job.
ONEKNOB
You do — with an AI workspace and expert-vetted moves on every tier, and a named manager from Full Service up.
Who opens doors?
The utilities
No one. You get shelf space, not rooms.
ONEKNOB
Warm introductions with the path rendered — you see exactly who connects you.
Who answers at 2am before release day?
The utilities
A ticket queue.
ONEKNOB
A human who knows your project — Full Service members get the number. Every member gets a human inside one business day.
Where does your money go?
The utilities
A subscription fee, then silence.
ONEKNOB
Every dollar visibly routed to a named action. Approved by you. Reported quarterly.
Who protects your work?
The utilities
Not their department.
ONEKNOB
Registration, AI-rights reservation, monitoring, enforcement — by default.
What compounds over time?
The utilities
Nothing. Year five looks like year one.
ONEKNOB
Your network, your data, your leverage — the machine gets smarter around you.
Distribution?
The utilities
The entire product.
ONEKNOB
Included. That's plumbing, not a career.
“Keep 100%”?
The utilities
Of streaming royalties — yes. It's the whole pitch.
ONEKNOB
Same 100% of your royalties, same masters — plus the machine none of them have.
150+ platforms, fast?
The utilities
Yes. Then you're on your own.
ONEKNOB
Same stores, same speed, included. Then the actual work starts — with a team.
Where the tiers split: Industry Standard is $45 a quarter — distribution, royalties, and the machine, capped at $1,000 of campaign spend a quarter. The named manager, their number, and the introductions start at Full Service, $800 a quarter, with no minimum spend and no ceiling.
No logos, no feature grids, no asterisks. The utilities are fine at what they do — we include that layer with membership. The comparison that matters is the one they can’t enter.
