For Artist Managers

Stop holding it all in your head. Build a system that holds it for you.

melabel gives artist managers a workspace to coordinate releases, manage files and contracts, track performance, and keep every artist's operation running — without the chaos.

The problem

The job of an artist manager is to hold everything together. The releases, the deadlines, the deals, the deliverables, the expectations. You're the one who knows which track goes to the mixer on Friday, which contract hasn't been countersigned, and which DSP is showing the wrong album art. You're the one people call when something goes wrong — and the one they forget to call when they need to make a decision.

But there's no proper system built for what you actually do. You're coordinating across artists, which means jumping between accounts, inboxes, spreadsheets, and shared drives constantly. Nothing talks to anything else. The overview you need doesn't exist anywhere, so you build it in your head and maintain it continuously.

That's an exhausting way to operate — and it doesn't scale. When you add a second artist, or a third, the mental model you've built starts to crack under its own weight.

melabel gives you a real workspace for the work of management. Not a CRM. Not a project management tool repurposed for something it wasn't built for. A workspace designed around how the music business actually operates.

One view across every artist you manage.

Create a release project for each artist and see all of them on a single calendar. Deadlines, delivery dates, milestones, and task lists — all in one place, organised by artist. No more rebuilding the status picture from scratch every Monday.

Collabs

Give everyone the access they need — and nothing more.

You work with producers, engineers, PR teams, booking agents, and the artists themselves — each with different information needs and different levels of trust. Collabs lets you define exactly what each person can see and do, without exposing the full management picture to everyone.

Invite collaborators with scoped, permission-based access
Artists see their own project without seeing your full workspace
External contractors can upload and contribute without full access
You stay in control of who sees what, always

Files & Contracts

Stop emailing tracks and hunting for PDFs. Keep it all in one place.

Every file for every artist — stems, masters, contract drafts, deal memos, press photos, sync briefs — lives in melabel alongside the project it belongs to. Contracts are attached to the releases or agreements they cover, so nothing gets buried in an inbox thread from eight months ago.

Organized file storage by artist and project
Contracts linked to the releases or deals they govern
Version history so you always have the right file
No more 'can you re-send that' conversations

Analytics

Report to your artists with real numbers.

When an artist asks 'how's the release doing?', you have an answer — not a screenshot cobbled together from three different dashboards. melabel pulls streaming and audience data so you can track performance and report back with confidence, without the manual work.

Understand where listeners are coming from and what's driving growth

FAQ

Common questions

Yes — melabel is built for this. You create separate projects for each artist you represent, with a unified calendar and workspace giving you visibility across all of them at once. Each artist's information stays separate, but you see the full picture.
It depends on your setup. If you're managing 1–2 artists, the Rising plan ($15/mo) works well. If you're running a larger operation or acting as a de facto label — handling distribution, multiple artist websites, and team access — the Business plan ($30/mo) gives you roster management and the infrastructure to match.
Yes — that's exactly what Collabs is designed for. You can invite an artist into their specific project with the right permission level. They see what they need; you stay in control of the rest.
That works fine. An artist with their own melabel account can add you as a collaborator with the appropriate access level, or you can manage everything from your account and invite them in. The setup is flexible depending on how you work together.
melabel handles distribution royalties through its revenue share model (10% across all plans). For management-specific royalty accounting — splits between artist and manager, or between label and artist — we recommend melabel alongside your existing royalty process. Deeper accounting tools are on our roadmap.

The system your artists have been waiting for. Built for the person running it.
