One of the most popular features on Instagram is Instagram Music. Time and again we’ve seen the music tab shuffle in accordance with the trending charts. Initially launched for stories, Instagram Music has gained more popularity by its use in reels and everyday we see different versions of popular songs being played in different reels.
While there are thousands of song tracks available on the music tab, there was no clarity on how creators can upload their music on Facebook and Instagram song library until now! Thanks to The Facebook Independent Artist Program for making things simple for undistributed artists and creators to distribute their music free of charge and use on the social media platforms.
“Undistributed artists and creators can now easily distribute their music for use on Facebook and Instagram products like Stories, Reels, and anywhere else we offer a music library. We’ve partnered with preferred third-party music distribution companies to help you get your music on Facebook and Instagram quickly, seamlessly and at no cost to you. Make your music available to millions of people across Facebook apps and technologies—free of charge—and be the soundtrack to people’s social experiences.” says Facebook on their media website.
Turns out Facebook has partnered with TuneCore and Distrokid to help artists and creators get their music on the library.
