Paul Cardall

“CD Baby makes it super easy to drop a worldwide release on your own schedule. The user interface is simple and the terms are great. The best part is when you see an email with the sales statement. Then you know the music is making an impact on people.”

“CD Baby has been our trusted distribution partner for many years. They are professional, helpful and offer great service to artists and consumers alike. We are very happy to be in business with them.”
