Prepare your master
Export the final mix as an uncompressed WAV — 24-bit / 48kHz is the delivery standard. Listen to the whole file once, start to finish, on headphones and on a phone speaker. Check the start and end for clicks, and leave no accidental silence at either end.
Artwork that passes review
Artwork requirements vary by destination. Confirm the current file, colour, text and logo rules before delivery.
Metadata & codes
Metadata is how the world finds you: artist name spelled exactly the same way every release, the real title with no decoration, the correct language and genre tags. Identifier codes — ISRC for the recording, UPC for the release — are assigned during onboarding; you do not need to buy them anywhere.
Choose your release date
Give yourself runway. A date several weeks out leaves room for review, delivery and pitching before day one. Align the date with anything you control — a video, a show, a post series — so the release lands with support rather than alone.
Apply for your invite
Mazufa is invite-only. Complete applications enter a human-review queue subject to capacity. Submitting never creates an account; approved applicants may receive a private onboarding invitation.
After approval
Once onboarded, an eligible release is prepared to current destination specifications. Available reporting depends on platform data and account access.
An ISRC identifies a recording; reporting and royalty coverage depend on each platform and agreement.

A fanbase isn't luck — it's consistency plus connection. Release regularly, show up where fans are, and make it easy to follow you. Here's a practical, current plan.
Turn listeners into fans
Release consistently
Drop music every 4-6 weeks. Regular releases keep you in Spotify's algorithm and give fans a reason to keep checking in.
Show your face on short video
TikTok, Reels and Shorts turn strangers into followers. Share the story behind songs, not just the songs.
Capture the connection
Send everyone to one mazufa.com/@handle link and collect emails — the audience you own, not rented from an algorithm.
Engage, don't broadcast
Reply to comments and DMs. Early superfans who feel seen become the ones who share your music for you.
Give fans a reason to stay
Behind-the-scenes, early listens, a pre-save for every release. Small consistent value compounds into loyalty.
Everything you need, no budget
Host your links current at your @handle, promote with the current promotion playbookMazufa pricing, eligible services, fees, deductions, ownership and royalties follow the current plan and applicable agreement.
