Leading independent DIY digital music distributor TuneCore and parent company, Paris-based digital music distribution leader and artist development company Believe have partnered with YouTube to provide music for the Shorts platform. YouTube Shorts is a new short form video experience for artists and creators, who use mobile phones to shoot brief 15-60 second videos. The platform initially arrived in the US in beta back in March and was rolled out to all US-based creators this month with more tools and countries to follow.
As a key music partner to YouTube, Believe and TuneCore’s vast roster of music has been included in the YouTube Shorts music library made available to creators to include in their videos. When creators use a song clip for their short video, the music is linked to the artist’s full length song, music video and bio on YouTube proper. Viewers are able to go directly to the artist’s videos on YouTube as well as to the artist’s YouTube channels.
