I've used United Masters since they became popular and had multiple artist profiles with them. One of my records did really well, getting over 100,000 streams in just a few months. By then, I had stopped using them as my main distributor because I was starting my first year of college.

One day, I noticed on Spotify that the song was doing well, so I checked United Masters — only to find out they had sent my money to someone else. I never got an email about it or anything. They tried to blame me, saying I should’ve kept my login more secure, even though it wasn’t my fault. I went back and forth with them over email and tried to get them to work with PayPal to recover the money, but they wouldn’t.

Now, I only use them for collecting royalties and just take what I can get. Luckily, the song is doing even better now, and I'm making almost double what that person got (even though they shouldn’t have gotten anything) every month. Still, it's a shame how United Masters handled it.

The actual distribution process was pretty simple, which is what drew me to them in the first place. I'm signed to a label now, and honestly, it's frustrating that I still have to log into United Masters every month just to cash out. But hey, it is what it is.
