Fuga has partnered with Single, a D2C app for artists and labels.
The integration allows Fuga clients to deliver music straight to their Shopify storefronts, where they sell merchandise – bridging distribution and direct sales in a single workflow.
Downtown-owned Fuga is the first music distributor to partner with Single, which enables clients to grow their DSP presence and direct-to-fan business in one place. Releases can go live on streaming platforms while also powering fan engagement through listening parties, early merch drops and fan communities.
The D2C music sales from artist-owned and label-owned storefronts are reported to the US, UK and Australian charts.
"Our partnership with Fuga isn’t just about sales – it’s about transforming distribution into a direct fan connection," said Tommy Stalknecht, co-founder and CEO at Single. "No other platform gives artists and labels this level of control, turning every release into an opportunity to engage fans, capture first-party data and drive direct revenue. Artists thrive when they have multiple ways to build deeper relationships with their fans across multiple channels.”
