Have you ever thought about what happens behind the scenes of making a hit song?

Working as an independent artist in the music industry can come with its own set of problems. While, on the one hand, there is greater freedom in terms of choosing genres and types of songs to create, working as an independent artist can come with its own set of problems.
The biggest challenges are the lack of funding, access to top producers, and exposure. United Market gives these creators access to a global network of over 10,000 producers and artists to collaborate and grow their name to further their chances of success. In addition, artists can submit their songs to exclusive playlist placements and be played at sporting events, giving them more exposure.
United Market also works with management groups as an asset to the team and to the artist they are influencing. United Market has already struck deals with management groups such as The Luxury Group, Miami Music Group, Unkwn Ventures, Foreign Exchange Records, and many more.
Currently, United Market features over 50,000 music artists and more than 10,000 producers as part of their membership. This has translated to more than $100,000 in payout to creators. Remember the names mentioned beforehand? Well, they make up over 85% of the hip-hop and rap music producers in the Billboard hits list.
United Market has been able to accomplish the above and more in just one and a half years, the team says they are still hungry and working to make a greater impact to the music creator community. United Market Founder Ron says the team’s focus has been to “Sell our solution and results more than our product.”
