Simfy Africa is a music streaming platform catering specifically to the African market. It offers affordable and legal streaming services, aiming to provide both African and international music content. Simfy Africa is a key player in the African digital music space, with a focus on expanding its reach across the continent and the Middle East.
Artist Services:
Simfy Africa provides artists with the opportunity to distribute their music across its platform, enabling them to reach audiences in various African countries. Artists can manage their content, engage with listeners, and potentially earn from streaming royalties.
Payout System and Royalty Distribution:
Like many streaming services, Simfy Africa operates on a revenue-sharing model. Artists are paid based on the total streams their music accumulates in relation to the platform’s total revenue. Payments are made through rights holders, such as labels or distributors. The exact payout per stream varies depending on several factors, including the country and subscription type of the listener.
Pay Rate:
Simfy Africa’s pay rate per stream is in line with other streaming platforms, typically around $0.004 per stream, though this can fluctuate. The final payout depends on the total revenue generated and the number of streams.
Go Live Time:
When artists submit their music through a distributor, it typically takes 2 to 5 business days for the tracks to go live on the platform. Major releases may require more lead time to ensure they are properly promoted.
How They Sell Your Music:
Simfy Africa follows a streaming-only model, where users can stream tracks without purchasing them outright. Artists are compensated based on the number of times their tracks are streamed.
Simfy Africa Territories:
The platform operates in several African countries and plans to expand further. It’s available in territories such as South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria, with intentions to broaden its presence in other parts of Africa and the Middle East.
Warnings & Restrictions:
As with other platforms, artists need to adhere to copyright laws and ensure that their music does not violate any intellectual property rights. Explicit content must be properly labeled, and submissions must be made via authorized distributors.
