Everything is great except one thing

Everything is great except one thing, you cannot choose the stores that i want to release my music in. I submitted song to Horus but my song declined saying that song has non exclusive samples or loops. I had used one shot samples (I dont know if that counts on non exclusive or not) but i didnt use any other loops or copied anyone's work. Later i did some research and found out that you cannot submit a music that has non exclusive sample/loops if you are applying for YT Content ID and i dont know how hip hop genre's song be approved for content id platforms because most of the songs is made by using non exclusive samples or loops. In horus music you cannot exclude YT content ID, if your song is not valid for YT content id then your song will be distributed to Facebook, Instagram. So, as a artist who is just starting out, these things really confuse us. Other than that everything is fine.

Stay away from that Distributor!

Same problem for me like Thaysen write some days ago..
I send my verification documents and after that they terminated my account and keep my subscription money and the email answer was:

Horus Music Clients:
Please refer to the clauses in the distribution contract you signed when you created your account with us:

10 TERMINATION:
10.7 We reserve the right, acting in Our sole discretion, to reject Recordings or any associated Materials received from You.

Upon termination, a refund is not provided.

I don´t know what I did wrong and why they terminated my account and they don´t give any information at all.....

What a bad service and a scammer site !!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the service. With a dramatic rise in fraudulent streaming and misuse of streaming platforms, extra checks are in place where necessary to verify the legitimacy of the artists we are working with. Unfortunately the documentation you provided did not pass these checks, and after further investigation, the details you provided were sourced multiple times across stock image sites. This type of behaviour is not tolerated by us or digital platforms and for this reason we did not move forward with working with you at this time. As you were in breach of our contractual rules, no refund was offered as stated in the clauses you were sent by our team. We work hard to protect the artists we work with and champion independent artists to create a safe space for them to distribute their music and ensure they are paid the maximum amount of royalties possible for their work. We'd be very happy to discuss your issue in more detail if you still feel dissatisfied, however the decision will not be reverted as the documents provided were not legitimate.

Top performance in all aspects

Top performance in all aspects! Fast transmission of the submitted music to the respective platforms. I particularly want to emphasise the support of this company: In case of problems, they respond within a few hours on weekdays and solve problems as quickly as possible. Entering the metadata can be quite challenging as there is a lot of data to be entered. If the data is entered incorrectly, it is also possible to change/add to the metadata at a later date. The support Horus provides is really unique.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate your feedback and it's great to hear you're pleased with the customer service. The input of metadata can be timely, but it's an essential factor to ensure your music can be correctly identified and royalties paid out to you. Our team are always on hand to support if you have any queries. We look forward to continuing to support you and your music.

YT Royalities

For a long time I have been using Horus Music, they’re really good but for two months I have not received YouTube Music royalities ( except Content ID ) I don’t know why and I receive very little royalities compared to the number of my views on YouTube I trust them I hope my trust is still

Horus Music in England gets the Job Done…

Horus Music in England gets the Job done. Their trained staff of Music Industry Veterans are second to none, and are among the "Elite" in the Music World. If you are trying to figure out which Music Distributor is best for you, then your search is now over. Because, Horus Music is the only choice for serious producers. However, please keep in mind they are very selective in which songs they are willing to represent.

Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, the team really appreciate your feedback. We're very happy to work with most tracks for distribution but as you say for marketing, we are more selective and like to make sure we work with great music like yours which we feel will see good success for the spend. It's been great working with you so far and we look forward to a fruitful future.

Very helpful and very patient

After repeated calls asking how the company operates and various other questions, I was amazed at the level of patience Emily and Nichole had and listening to my experience with other companies I have now uploaded my first single and waiting at 15 singles and a couple of albums to go out. Thank you so much guys 🙏🏼

I've been planning this release for…

I've been planning this release for almost a year now and for an unsigned artist, it was nice working with Horus music right up to the release buildup. Shout-out to Rosa W and Valerie for their great clientele rapport. They practically crafted out an alternative payment option when I had difficulties via PayPal. The press one sheet was very apt, and the entire campaign process was a dream come true. Although, a bit expensive but I'll give them a 5-star rating for services worth the expenses

Great communication and support for Artists

I’ve been working with Horus since 2016 through an independent record label. The support and advice the provide is honest and always of great quality.
They’re always looking for new and exciting opportunities with their industry connections, whether this is live performances or playlist placements.
They work hard to make sure the communication between myself (as the artist) and my label is consistent.
I couldn’t recommend Horus more highly, I’ve had nothing but a positive experience.

I really love the customer service Horus offers. Customer satisfaction is very important to them, they provide quality feedback as well. The free pitching service is also amazing, I've just been working with Horus for about 7 months now but love working with them and I look forward to working long-term.

Horus has been a dream to use

Horus has been a dream to use. The customer service is wonderful. The platform is intuitive and easy to use.
Overall they do not have all the bells and whistles others do but they concentrate on quality and service, which is far more important.. Thank you guys

Prompt response and quick solutions

Chandrika and Aditya have been extremely helpful in sorting out various issues that we faced during and after the submission of our music. From helping us getting play-listed to sorting out content ID issues, their support has been unwavering.

Never used Horus Music

Never used Horus Music , trust me you will regret it. They one-sided closed my account and accused me of streaming suspiciously because my stream comes from Spotify only. what a ridiculous reason. and my music only generates 50 - 100 stream per day. it only gets like $20 -$30 a month. How can I market it to another streaming platform with this small amount of money or even pay the streaming bot. Remember everything will be good till you start earning royalties. and they will rob you, close your account, take your money and gone. Simply accused you of violating the're term and rules. I tried to explain to their email , and they just ignore you. Thanks for this horrible experience Horus.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry to hear you've not had a great experience. Unfortunately fraudulent and suspicious streaming activity is a matter we must handle with the upmost severity. As you may be aware, it is an issue which is widely affecting the music industry globally and we are doing as much as we can to continue to support our artists. Unfortunately stores do not provide much information or details even when prompted for further information on what has caused a fraudulent or suspicious streaming flag, but as it is illegal, we have no choice but to comply with store policies. We would be very happy to discuss this matter with you in more detail either via email or over the phone. Please don't hesitate to contact us at alr@horusmusic.co.uk to arrange.

OK but could be better

Just to bring a little balance, I like the business model and you can always get through on the phone. Generally, emails are answered within a couple of hours. I have released five singles and received a few pence, so the system does work.

On the down side, I have informed customer service that the admin system MCZ seems unprofessional and there are unnecessary quirks, such as a frustrating wheel of doom for every page change and an overly fussy verification panel to check whether you are a robot. Ironically, I defy ChatGPT to successfully determine whether a traffic light in the distance is a traffic light or whether a roast chicken is a bird. It feels like an in-joke but it may just be that MCZ induces paranoia.
I was informed a while ago that my account had been cancelled through inactivity and I found that Spotify for Artists were asking me to reclaim my ID but this seems since to have been fixed.
I was told today that they are updating their website front end but this is the wrong priority...please get some professionals to redesign MCZ as a matter of urgency - do us all a favour, and don't drive away business! I'm sticking with Horus because I'm chasing my investment in learning the process, despite some expertly laconic email replies from technical support in the past and the time I've spent over the last two days trying to change my email address, which I'm relieved to say, I have just been able to do!

Account closed and all tracks removed

Used another distribution service before and started moving our old catalogue to Horus Music after a recommendation on the Internet. We also did our new releases with them this year.

Suddenly without warning, they decided to close our account and delete all our songs, based on one of the old songs that we were moving to and has already been live for 2 years. Something was "suspicious".

Now all our tracks are taken down, not only the one they said was suspicious.

We have spent relentless hours producing these, and also offered to show all stems and production files to prove they are original. But did not help. We have to spend a lot of time and money now to get these back with another distributor.

WARNING for this company.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. If your subscription has been cancelled by our team, you will have received notification via email. We make sure our communication is very transparent and always provide reason for why this may be, often due to payments not being made or the account being dormant for a prolonged period of time. Please reach out to our team at alr@horusmusic.co.uk as we would be very happy to discuss your issue in more detail. Alternatively, our phone lines are also open Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm if you would prefer to discuss directly with the team.

Unprofessional

They unsubmit every release on made up grounds. Never got them to release my album even though I made every change they asked for, they always came up with new reasons.
Wanted a refund, they immediately canceled my subscription and took down the one release I got through without refund, leaving this one collaboration album undistributed for weeks.
