Slikour OnLife, a trailblazer in African music culture and innovation, is proudly celebrating one year of its full-service music platform – SOL Distro.
SOL Distro has been a ground-breaking platform designed to give artists the tools, resources and opportunities they need to build and grow their careers while keeping 100% of their royalties. Since launching on Wednesday, 13 August 2025, more than 1,000+ artists have subscribed and used SOL Distro tools, with over R1 millionpaid out in royalties as well.
“For us, these numbers represent something bigger: independent artists building careers while maintaining ownership of their music. We’re building the infrastructure, tools and network to help independent artists distribute, grow and create sustainable careers on their own terms. When artists own their masters and we own the network infrastructure, together we own the masterplan”, states Siya‘Slikour’ Metane, Founder of Slikour OnLife.
SOL Distro has also advanced to a new level by signing a collaboration with the New York based company – beatBread, that funds independent artists, songwriters and labels. If you currently earn R1,750 in royalties, you could qualify for an advance from $1,000, all the way up to $10 million. SOL Distro together with beatBread gives eligible independent artists access to funding against their royalties.
SOL Distro continues to prove that it is only just getting started with how it is redefining music rules and really placing African artists’ needs first. It continues to combine global music distribution with access to professional-grade creative services, brand partnerships and data analytics.
SOL Distro – Your Music. Your Power. Your Platform.
