"The worst company I tried"

The worst company I tried. I spent 79 dollars for a year subscription, I uploaded some albums I had to take off for a while and 4 months later, they were still in review with the same bullshit feedbacks from the assistance telling me I had to modify the cover of those albums which were already displayed on music platforms. I gently told them I was done with their service, the contract hasn’t been respected and that all I wanted is to have a refund. They ignored my mail and I feel stolen. Be careful people!

"Captivate that wow factor!"

I have had nothing but the absolute best experience with Music Gateway. I joined Music Gateway around September of last year and I have no had one issue! Their customer support is top notch it's the best they can handle any issues you may have and fast to. Ive never had such great customer support they've helped me out with different things always nice, polite and on point very fast. Music Gateway has all the tools you need to take your career as an artist to the next level. I can't wait to make some good gains see some growth and take advantage of Music Gateways music promotions. That's how it is for me as an artist right now it's just a dream and goal to hit and make my mark. Music Gateway have a ton of tools for your music like pre save links, mix tape creator, calculator, audio mastering system which I have personally used and it is the best their audio mastering really makes your track stand out it's so much louder plus comes with a few different options, showcase, sync, publishing, music distribution, t. v. and film, playlisting, radio promotions, digital marketing promotions facebook ads Instagram ads, I can tell you you really don't know your potential until you do create an account with Music Gateway and have and has the experience. I mean heck it's Music Gateway get it Music Gateway it's the door 2 great music and I've already opened it! Stay awesome rock on and I will see you on the other side!

""in review" for nearly a month + blackmailing for good reviews"

I uploaded my song in early december and it´s not even been looked at! Today is the 31st, this is unacceptable.

UPDATE: they contacted me 6 weeks after I submitted my song (which is still pending review as of now, 4 months after I submitted it), saying, and I directly quote from their email:
"We kindly ask that you consider removing your Trustpilot review so we can move forward with resolving this matter. Once the review is removed, we’ll prioritise your track for review."

It is crazy they they track down their users who provide constructive critisism and try to force them to give a good rating here. After this, I consider all the reviews here as fake. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITH THIS COMPANY!

" Waste of Money , possible Scam"

I was very excited in my initial conversation with the seller at music gateway. I have been building a portfolio as an indie singer songwriter over 20 years now, without a profit return however. I know the music industry so I do not expect miracles and I have even been on the other side as a music reporter, teacher, and critique. I did however expect some result for my investment over 1000 USD in terms of help with marketing and pitching to industry people. My specific interest was sync and I said as much. I paid for a Spotify promotion and a sync promotion. I got nothing from either. Worse I did not get ANY campaign report. For all I know they just did a one sheet and pocketed the money. I asked for a report to analyze in order to see what areas could use improvement or which industry contacts, if any, were responsive. I had expected someone to look through the catalogue with me, find the strongest songs and how to pitch them. As an artist seeing your product objectively is the hardest task. That is why you seek help with marketing. I ended up doing all the legwork myself and uploading a pitch myself etc. All they did was create a one sheet online and I suspect send out some ads on LinkedIn. (You can get a one sheet and some ads on fiver for under 300 Dollars) Had I known I would still do all the presentation work, I would not have purchased this service. They made it sound like they would contact people in their network and pitch you. You will get a lot of platitudes like "Oh, well do you gig out?" (Had tours in USA/Europe/Africa which they would know if they actually bothered to research) and there are many songwriters with sync deals who do not gig out so I feel they are not really helpful. I notice that they did not bother to research my catalogue, tours, press, radio or backstory (which is quite unique) The sync promotion suddenly became an "Industry Pitch" where they sent ads to fellow musicians on linked in. I already know many of the biggest musicians worldwide since I went to Berklee with them- some are even playing on my releases (which, again they would know if they bothered to research) I could have contacted them directly and not paid 1000, Besides, they are trying to get sync deals too! We're all trying to make a dime. Music gateway seems like another scam where you will get some tokenist help that you can probably do yourself with better results. Luckily I stoped the Spotify pitch after one month because I saw right away that I could get better results with another provider. I am still looking for help for someone to pitch my catalogue objectively. I did think maybe they thought the music was bad but with international airplay and international awards next to Hall of Fame -ers that would seem odd . I am not sure if they are a scam but I would not recommend them

"Music Gateway was great!! "

Lee. and his entire team at Music Gateway are great. I used them on several projects in the year 2024 and I was very pleased with their success. They were willing to tailor their marketing strategies to fit with my company's macro overall strategy, something some agencies are resistant to agree to. In particular Their META ad strategy showed great results and I was very impressed with the diligence of their playlist vetting process and ensuring that any lists my songs were added to were safe from artificial manipulation. I highly recommend them.

"Great customer service, even if you're not on a paid plan"

From the experience I've had with them so far, they've been absolutely stellar. I didn't even have a paid subscription with them at the time when I reached out with a fairly specific issue, but they were unbelievably helpful, understanding and prompt with their communication and level of support, compared with another distribution company (*cough* Ditto).

It's so nice to get through to what seems like an actual human when you reach out to a company like this, instead of what seems like AI generated responses from the aforementioned competitors - it really makes a genuine difference to the overall experience as a self-employed music creator

"Exceeded our expectations!"

This was our band's first experience promoting our music through a PR campaign with a service like Music Gateway, so we were a bit nervous about investing the money without knowing if it would pay off.
I have to say that we're very happy with the results!
Leila and Lee were incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I’d definitely recommend this service to bands that have some budget for promo and want to give it a try!

"Very misleading and dissapointing"

Very misleading and dissapointing. You say you want to provide free distribution for your artists. But Artists have to pay for an anual free for pro to release just one album . I just joined today, wanted to upload my album, and found out you gotta pay to do so. This is not free distribution. Deleting my account Immediately.

Update: November 30th 2024 . I just got an email from Trustpilot saying that they tried to flag my review for defamatory. It was confirmed that this was not the case. I have sent my response to trustpilot. Nice try Music gateway!
