Music Gateway Reviews 

I was very pleased with the outcomes of both campaigns. At this point, I wouldn't entrust my promotion with any other firm.You guys rock!

I uploaded my song in early december and it´s not even been looked at! Today is the 31st, this is unacceptable.

UPDATE: they contacted me 6 weeks after I submitted my song (which is still pending review as of now, 4 months after I submitted it), saying, and I directly quote from their email:
"We kindly ask that you consider removing your Trustpilot review so we can move forward with resolving this matter. Once the review is removed, we’ll prioritise your track for review."

It is crazy they they track down their users who provide constructive critisism and try to force them to give a good rating here. After this, I consider all the reviews here as fake. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITH THIS COMPANY!

I was very excited in my initial conversation with the seller at music gateway. I have been building a portfolio as an indie singer songwriter over 20 years now, without a profit return however. I know the music industry so I do not expect miracles and I have even been on the other side as a music reporter, teacher, and critique. I did however expect some result for my investment over 1000 USD in terms of help with marketing and pitching to industry people. My specific interest was sync and I said as much. I paid for a Spotify promotion and a sync promotion. I got nothing from either. Worse I did not get ANY campaign report. For all I know they just did a one sheet and pocketed the money. I asked for a report to analyze in order to see what areas could use improvement or which industry contacts, if any, were responsive. I had expected someone to look through the catalogue with me, find the strongest songs and how to pitch them. As an artist seeing your product objectively is the hardest task. That is why you seek help with marketing. I ended up doing all the legwork myself and uploading a pitch myself etc. All they did was create a one sheet online and I suspect send out some ads on LinkedIn. (You can get a one sheet and some ads on fiver for under 300 Dollars) Had I known I would still do all the presentation work, I would not have purchased this service. They made it sound like they would contact people in their network and pitch you. You will get a lot of platitudes like "Oh, well do you gig out?" (Had tours in USA/Europe/Africa which they would know if they actually bothered to research) and there are many songwriters with sync deals who do not gig out so I feel they are not really helpful. I notice that they did not bother to research my catalogue, tours, press, radio or backstory (which is quite unique) The sync promotion suddenly became an "Industry Pitch" where they sent ads to fellow musicians on linked in. I already know many of the biggest musicians worldwide since I went to Berklee with them- some are even playing on my releases (which, again they would know if they bothered to research) I could have contacted them directly and not paid 1000, Besides, they are trying to get sync deals too! We're all trying to make a dime. Music gateway seems like another scam where you will get some tokenist help that you can probably do yourself with better results. Luckily I stoped the Spotify pitch after one month because I saw right away that I could get better results with another provider. I am still looking for help for someone to pitch my catalogue objectively. I did think maybe they thought the music was bad but with international airplay and international awards next to Hall of Fame -ers that would seem odd . I am not sure if they are a scam but I would not recommend them

Lee. and his entire team at Music Gateway are great. I used them on several projects in the year 2024 and I was very pleased with their success. They were willing to tailor their marketing strategies to fit with my company's macro overall strategy, something some agencies are resistant to agree to. In particular Their META ad strategy showed great results and I was very impressed with the diligence of their playlist vetting process and ensuring that any lists my songs were added to were safe from artificial manipulation. I highly recommend them.

From the experience I've had with them so far, they've been absolutely stellar. I didn't even have a paid subscription with them at the time when I reached out with a fairly specific issue, but they were unbelievably helpful, understanding and prompt with their communication and level of support, compared with another distribution company (*cough* Ditto).

It's so nice to get through to what seems like an actual human when you reach out to a company like this, instead of what seems like AI generated responses from the aforementioned competitors - it really makes a genuine difference to the overall experience as a self-employed music creator

This was our band's first experience promoting our music through a PR campaign with a service like Music Gateway, so we were a bit nervous about investing the money without knowing if it would pay off.
I have to say that we're very happy with the results!
Leila and Lee were incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I’d definitely recommend this service to bands that have some budget for promo and want to give it a try!

Very misleading and dissapointing. You say you want to provide free distribution for your artists. But Artists have to pay for an anual free for pro to release just one album . I just joined today, wanted to upload my album, and found out you gotta pay to do so. This is not free distribution. Deleting my account Immediately.

Update: November 30th 2024 . I just got an email from Trustpilot saying that they tried to flag my review for defamatory. It was confirmed that this was not the case. I have sent my response to trustpilot. Nice try Music gateway!

Fred particularly has been amazing! The most attentive advisor I could have asked for. He really held my hand every step of the way and helped me get my head around how to promote my music which has always been a mystery to me. Music Gateway also has a great website which is very user-friendly.

Music Gateway are a joy to work with - they're always responsive, they care whole-heartedly about the top-quality music, representation in the industry, and generally delivering a top service.

Nothing is simple if you haven't done it before. And it is the mark of superb support when you are not made to feel like a clumsy fool, but instead treated with respect you probably don't deserve. A&R consultant Fred Moylett and distribution expert Priya Sehgal, I thank you for going the extra mile, and helping me navigate my way through to the launch line!

Customer service fixed a problem about conflicting releases, and were helpful and polite; however it did take more than a week and several emails to achieve this. Still, thanks very much for the service!

There’s a certain transparency from Music Gateway that leaves me confident that they know what they are doing in the marketing sector. I feel like a more confident artist and more realistic with where my path as an artist is after a fairly successful campaign with organic results and informative reports. Highly recommend!!!

I contacted the service department today and Marcus answered me in a few hours. I had made mistakes in transferring my music and had to do the process all over again and I would have left without any coins. Marcus Power helped me and credited my account with extra coins so I can proceed, without having to buy new coins. Thank you very much!

Have yet to see how effective Music Gateway is at connecting my music to sync opportunities as I joined quite recently, but so far their customer service has been great, and in particular a shout out to Marcus. I had a query about why some of my releases were missing from the library and he responded and resolved this for me very promptly.

Went above and Beyond when dealing with my issue, always quick and efficient in all the times I needed help.

To the point in what I needed to fix, definitely one of the best customer supports in any business I ever dealt with.

I was approached by music Gateway with a job offer, it sounded pretty good. They told me that I will make 80-100USDC just for training. I was told I had to have a digital wallet and they suggested crypto wallet. They also said I could withdraw my 100dollars usdc after training. Well I finished the training and they kept putting off showing me how to withdraw my money. So I worked for over a week each time I asked how to withdraw my earnings they told me finish today's work and I'll show you tomorrow. Tomorrow never came. As I went through the music list I came across an album I had to submit. With the album it puts your money into a negative balance which you then have to put your own money in to get it unfrozen. I did this once and carried on. Finally after 8 days of working I'm told my salary was added to my already grown earnings. Now I asked how to withdraw the money to my bank account and once again I was told to finish the days work. Before I could finish I hit another album. Now I'm negative 1356 in my account. I'm told again I have to deposit money from my own account to get this number out of the negative. That's 1856 canadian. After I do this they will show me how to withdraw into my bank account. Well once bitten and twice shy. I'm not using 2000 dollars to have it taken from me and still not be shown how to withdraw. They're ignoring me now and they're a complete scam. They don't pay even what they promise to complete the training. Stay clear.

I've been a proud member of Music Gateway since 2018, and I've witnessed firsthand their incredible evolution. Originally focused on sync opportunities and professional networking, they have masterfully adapted to the ever-changing music industry landscape. Their distribution service, with the outstanding support from Marcus and Priya, is not only fast and efficient, but they are constantly improving their platform, making it easier and more powerful for artists and music producers like myself. I couldn't be happier with their dedication and innovation. Being a part of Music Gateway's journey as a client has been a fantastic experience, and I'm thrilled to continue working with them!

Hi I'm Luigi D'ambruoso from Gd Records Music, Since Music Gateway has improved the site, navigation becomes pleasant, the support response is very fast compared to the past. In short, if you want an excellent service both for Sync and Publishing, sign up to Music Gateway

Great service, great results above what was anticipated, and would thoroughly recommend!
