Music in Africa covered Symphonic’s announcement of their acquisition of Distro Nation.

Symphonic Distribution has acquired New York-based distributor and YouTube monetisation platform Distro Nation, expanding its capabilities in digital rights management and video revenue services.

Distro Nation, originally launched in 2011 as INDMUSIC, gained early attention for its role in viral campaigns, including Baauer’s Harlem Shake. The company was later absorbed by Live Nation as part of the Live Nation Video Network before regaining independence in 2024 under its current name, with a focus on YouTube channel management and monetisation.
