What is the SM program?

Spectrum Mood promotes and represents indie artists. Under this concept, the program supports artists by providing a channel of security and trust, to reach the right audience and continue to push their way forward.

How do I benefit from joining the program?

Some benefits of being accepted into the program include having an exclusive publishing channel for your work, selling your single or album in the SM store, registering your work internally with SM to add a barrier of protection. You can also enable the option to offer your creative services to clients and earn income for your work. But most important of all, reach out to an amazing community that supports your talent. By the way, this is not the definitive list, it is constantly updated.

What are the acceptance requirements?

The requirements for acceptance into the program are reduced to a series of criteria that must be met. These are:

• Your commitment to SM to be the first to release your work (even earlier than on your own).
• Submit original work or in the case of cover, have written permission from the artist who owns the material.
• You must have shared at least three works with SM.
• Declare yourself as partial or complete author of the work (either lyrics or music, or both).
• Both your works and your artist profile must not incite hatred, discrimination, abuse or illegal practices of any kind.

Do I have to pay to stay in the program?

Not at all. The program supports independent artists and provides them with a platform to promote themselves. When you sell an album in the store, SM only keeps 10% of the sale, just as if you offer creative services, SM acts as an intermediary between you and the client. You keep 100% of the profits from the sale of singles and EPs (after deducting the fees of the payment platform).

Can I leave the program at any time?

Once accepted, you can stay in the program as long as you wish. As a matter of mutual respect, you should communicate this directly to SM. Once you are out of the program, you can request the removal of your works from the SM store, the same if you have an artist account on the site. Works uploaded to the platforms when you were part of the program will still be available to the public.

Can I upload my works without joining the program?

Yes, of course. SM supports multiple artists and understands that not everyone has the same goals. So feel free to share your art with the world. Please note that eligibility will be subject to the same requirements to #BePart of the program (except for the number of previously uploaded works).
