Roc Nation has merged its Roc Nation Label and Equity Distribution (EQ) divisions into a single, unified entity called ROC Nation distribution.
The newly formed division will serve as a platform for “any artist”, providing them with the tools and resources they need to meet the demands of the current music industry, Roc Nation said Thursday (August 15).
Roc Nation’s Equity Distribution unit was established in early 2019. The division, led by Krystian Santini, is a platform that allows artists to distribute their music while retaining ownership of their masters. It also provides marketing, publishing administration and data analytics services.
“THE FORMATION OF ROC NATION DISTRIBUTION IS A NATURAL TRANSITION IN THE MUSIC SPACE. THE MISSION IS TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER INDEPENDENT ARTISTS WHILE PROVIDING THEM THE TOOLS AND SERVICES TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR MUSIC.”

Roc Nation’s distribution and management units represent artists including Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Uzi Vert, DJ Khaled, J Balvin, Yo Gotti, Robin Thicke, Mustard, Christina Aguilera and more.
