A year ago, I found myself working a construction job that I hated. When I received my May salary, I made a bold decision: I invested it all into starting this company. I never imagined that in just one year, we would grow so much. We started with about 50 tracks, all my own, and somehow, we are about to cross 700. I couldn’t be more thankful to every single artist who has been along for this journey.

Heck, we didn’t even have a portal, and now we do! I am thrilled to announce the launch of our music distribution portal, portal.authored.music. We’re not white labeling; we’re not going through another party—it’s all us, made by me.

I hope you like it. I know it’s not the best yet, but trust me, it will get better. Here’s free music distribution for South Africa, created and owned by South Africans. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey!
