Upload Music to YouTube Music
YouTube Music blends streaming with the world's largest video platform, putting your official audio next to music videos, covers, and fan uploads. Banger distributes your release to YouTube Music and helps you claim revenue from Content ID matches.
Streaming Meets Video Discovery
YouTube Music combines a traditional streaming catalog with YouTube's video search and recommendation engine, so listeners can find your official audio, lyric videos, and any music videos you upload all in one place.
Content ID Turns Fan Uploads Into Revenue
When your release is distributed through Banger, it's registered in YouTube's Content ID system. That means when fans upload covers, remixes, or videos that use your track, matching audio can be identified and monetized on your behalf.
