(Enayblvck) Frequently asked ## Everything you need to know. **How do I get paid in South Africa?** Royalties accrue in your InterSpace wallet as they are reported by each store. Withdraw to a South African bank account in ZAR or hold a USD balance. On Artist Plus and Partner, splits are paid automatically to your features and producers each cycle. **Do you distribute to Boomplay and Audiomack?** Yes. Both are included from the free tier upward. Boomplay and Audiomack are where much of South African and pan-African streaming happens, so they are never paywalled. **Can I distribute Amapiano, Gqom or Afro House?** Yes. The release form has dedicated genre tags for Amapiano, Gqom, Afro House, Afro-tech, Maskandi, Kwaito and South African Hip-Hop, so your songs are categorised correctly on Spotify, Apple Music and Boomplay, which is how you land on playlists like Amapiano Grooves, African Heat and Mzansi Hits. **Do I keep my copyrights?** Always. InterSpace Distribution is non-exclusive. You own your masters, your sound recordings and your compositions. We deliver and collect on your behalf, and you can take a release down at any time. **How long until my song is live on Spotify and Apple Music?** Once our team approves your release we deliver it to every store you selected. Stores typically activate within 24 to 72 hours of receiving the package, and most are live within a week. **Do I need a label or a record deal?** No. Independent South African artists release through InterSpace every day. If you run a label, the Label plan adds sub-accounts, label-wide insights and a dedicated manager. Ready when you are ## Ready to release your next song?
