MGM and Pozible enter distribution partnership

Musicians who crowd fund through Pozible will have their albums, singles and merchandise distributed through independent powerhouse MGM’s subsidiary Waterfront Records from this week. This means that these albums will count towards ARIA and AIR charts. Musicians will no longer have to fulfill the ‘Reward’ orders after a Pozible campaign.

Artists also now have the option to have online retail built in to both their own and Waterfront’s websites on an ongoing basis. The first act to benefit from the new deal is Melbourne rock group Dallas Frasca.

MGM’s Sydney-based founder and CEO Sebastian Chase commented, “I am really pleased that Pozible and MGM, two independent Australian enterprises, have teamed up to create a new initiative that can provide a funding and distribution solution which enhances the options available to Australian artists and supports their efforts to build sustainable careers.”

Pozible Director Alan Crabbe added, “What I am most excited about is that the partnership will see Pozible music count towards the ARIA and AIR charts. This will have a huge impact for so many of our musicians who use the platform as a pre-selling mechanism. We couldn’t be happier about working so closely with Australia’s premiere independent music distributor.”
