Hi Charles — fellow old-school guy here, so I completely understand the confusion. I’m still learning as well, but I can share what I’ve experienced while building DJ CFLY and BeatsFlyHigh. This certainly isn’t a golden rule—just the approach that has made the most sense for me so far. A distributor such as DistroKid generally delivers your music, artwork and metadata to Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon Music, TikTok and other selected services, and collects the streaming royalties. Once your first release is available, you can usually claim and personalize the different artist profiles yourself. What I discovered is that distribution makes the music available, but it doesn’t create the artist identity, storytelling or relationship with listeners. That part still remains with us. Personally, I would start gradually: 1. Choose one consistent artist name and visual identity. 2. Use a distributor to deliver the music. 3. Claim your artist profiles after the first release. 4. Start with YouTube and one or two social platforms you genuinely enjoy using. 5. Add a simple website or landing page connecting everything. 6. Consider Bandcamp later if direct sales and closer fan relationships fit your plans. I also chose not to release everything at once. I try to give each track its own artwork, story and moment to breathe, then observe the response and learn from it. That approach is slower, but it helps me understand what connects with people. Again, this is only my own experience—not necessarily the right answer for everyone. Other creators may have followed very different paths successfully. Hopefully, it gives you a useful starting point without making the whole process feel overwhelming. DJ CFLY Sound • Emotion • Discovery

I’m beginning to wonder whether some of the very different reactions to Suno v6 might be related to subscription level. I’ve seen people complain about very poor quality, while my own tests have been quite satisfying—sometimes even very good. I’m using the Premier plan, so could that be influencing the experience? Is anyone seeing a clear quality difference between Free, Pro and Premier, or is it mainly down to prompts, genres and expectations?

@Jesse Hull Thanks! 🙏❤️ Really happy this one connected with you. 🏠🎶

@Terrence Bullock that’s a good start 😉

@Terrence Bullock 😂😂 You spotted it! One of my very first AI-assisted videos — apparently the kids decided to grow up, get younger and change identity during the same Christmas. 🤣🎄 AI filmmaking has come a LONG way since then!
