Knxwledge Launches App Amid Distributor Disputes
12 Nov
Summary
- Grammy-winning producer Knxwledge created a new iOS app for his music.
- He cited repeated, unexplained album removals from streaming services.
- The app offers his full catalog and future releases directly to fans.
Grammy-winning producer Knxwledge has taken direct control of his music distribution by launching a new streaming application for iOS devices. This move comes after months of frustration with music distributors who have allegedly removed his albums from streaming services without providing any clear reasons.
Knxwledge expressed his dismay, noting that some removed projects were released years before artificial intelligence music-generation tools were common. He questioned why distributors were removing older recordings when their original release dates were readily available, highlighting a lack of care or diligence in their review processes.
The artist, also known as one half of NxWorries, felt independent artists have insufficient control over their work's availability on streaming platforms. Rather than wait for explanations, he decided to create his own platform to release music directly to his fans.
The new app currently offers his entire catalog, which he personally remastered, and will serve as the exclusive home for his upcoming releases. An Android version is anticipated to follow. Knxwledge is also directing fans to his Discord server for ongoing updates regarding his music and the ongoing distributor situation.
