Founded by veteran artist, producer, and A&R professional Ace Drucci aka Anthony Ratliff, Level Up Distribution is helping independent artists take control of their music careers.
The music industry continues to evolve, creating new opportunities for independent artists to share their music with the world. At the center of this movement is Level Up Distribution, a music distribution company founded by Ace Drucci, also known as Anthony Ratliff, an accomplished artist, producer, and A&R professional with 20 years of experience in the music business.
With two decades of industry knowledge, Ace Drucci understands the challenges artists face when trying to release music, build an audience, and establish a lasting career. His experience on multiple sides of the music industry has helped shape the vision behind Level Up Distribution: giving independent artists a platform to release their music while maintaining ownership of their creative work.
Built on Experience. Driven by Independence.
As an artist, producer, and A&R professional, Ace Drucci has gained valuable insight into what it takes to navigate the music business. From understanding the creative process to recognizing talent and developing music projects, his experience provides a foundation for building a distribution company that understands artists and their needs.
Level Up Distribution was created with a clear purpose: to make music distribution more accessible and give independent musicians the opportunity to put their music in front of listeners around the world.
Today’s artists need more than great music. They need access to digital streaming platforms, the freedom to release consistently, and the ability to build their brands on their own terms. Level Up Distribution aims to help artists take those important steps.
A Distribution Platform for the Independent Movement
Independent artists are building careers without always relying on traditional record label structures. With the right tools and resources, musicians can release their own projects, grow their fan bases, and develop their businesses while maintaining greater control over their careers.
Level Up Distribution is designed for artists who are ready to take that next step. Whether you’re an emerging musician preparing your first single or an established artist releasing your next album, the goal is to provide an accessible path to digital music distribution.
The company’s artist-focused approach is built around a simple idea: your music, your vision, your future.
Affordable Music Distribution. More Freedom for Artists.
Level Up Distribution believes that releasing music shouldn’t have to come with unnecessary barriers. With an affordable annual plan, artists can focus on creating and releasing music while working toward their career goals.
For $19.99 per year, artists can access an unlimited-release distribution plan, making it easier to put out singles, EPs, and albums without paying a separate distribution fee for every release.
The company’s mission is to help artists move with consistency, build momentum, and maximize opportunities in an increasingly competitive music landscape.
The Vision Behind Level Up Distribution
For Ace Drucci, Level Up Distribution represents more than a music distribution service. It reflects his understanding of the industry and his commitment to helping independent artists move forward.
After 20 years in the business as an artist, producer, and A&R professional, he understands the importance of having the right opportunities, resources, and support. Through Level Up Distribution, he is bringing that experience into a company focused on the needs of today’s independent music community.
The vision is simple: help artists release their music, strengthen their independence, and take their careers to the next level.
