Infinity Minutes is a music company from Kigali, Rwanda. We help independent artists put their songs on Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, YouTube Music, Boomplay, Audiomack, Deezer and 27 platforms in total, for free. Infinity Minutes was formerly known as DistroKigali.
There is no yearly subscription and no fee per release. You keep 85% of the royalties your music earns, and you get paid to your bank account or MTN / Airtel mobile money.
Who Infinity Minutes is for
- Independent artists, rappers, singers, DJs and producers in Rwanda and across Africa
- Artists releasing a first single who don't want to pay upfront
- Labels and managers who want one place to release and track several projects
- Artists who want to be paid by mobile money instead of a foreign bank or PayPal
How it works, step by step
- Create a free account. Sign up as an artist and send your artist application.
- Sign the distribution agreement. It's done online in a minute. You keep ownership of your music.
- Upload your release. Singles, EPs and albums are all free. Add your WAV or FLAC audio, cover art, songwriter credits and the platforms you want.
- We review it. Every release is checked before it goes out, so stores don't reject it. You can follow its status in your dashboard: Pending review, In review, Needs changes, Approved, Sent to stores and Live.
- Your music goes live. We deliver it to the platforms you chose. Each platform then processes it on its own schedule.
- Promote it and get paid. Share your free promo page, watch your stats and withdraw your royalties.
