How to distribute music to Calm

1. Create a free account: Sign up with your email for a 7-day free trial. No card needed.

2. Upload your release: Add your WAV or FLAC audio, 3000×3000px cover art and the release details: title, artists, genre and copyright lines.

3. Choose Calm: Pick Calm and the other stores you want in the submit step. Set the release date at least 2 weeks out so every store has time to ingest it.

4. Pick a plan and submit: Choose a yearly plan from $15. We review your release and deliver it, typically within 24 hours, so it can go live on Calm on your release date.

Wellness Audience

Calm's 100M+ users actively seek calming, atmospheric, and ambient music — ideal for artists in those genres.

Sleep & Meditation

Music curated for sleep, meditation, and focus — your ambient or instrumental tracks reach a deeply engaged wellness audience.

Premium Subscribers

Calm charges $70/year — subscribers invest in their wellbeing and stream music with high intent and long session times.

Daily Listening Habit

Calm users listen daily as part of their routine — your music gets repeated, habitual exposure unlike passive DSPs.

Global Wellness Trend

The mental wellness market is growing rapidly — placement on Calm positions your music within a cultural movement.

Royalties per Stream

Calm pays per stream from their licensing agreements — steady royalty income from the wellness listening audience.

Spilix delivers your music to Calm and 100+ other stores from a single upload. You keep 100% ownership of your music.

Questions we get a lot.

How long until my release goes live?

After you submit, the release is reviewed and delivered to your chosen stores — typically within 24 hours. Each store then has its own ingestion window, so set the release date at least 2 weeks ahead to avoid release-day delays.

Does the 7-day trial need a credit card?

No. Sign up with just your email and explore the dashboard for 7 days: build releases as drafts, transfer your catalog, set up artists and smart links. Pushing a release to stores and buying add-ons require a paid plan — pick one whenever you’re ready. Nothing is charged automatically.

Do I keep ownership of my music?

Always. You grant Spilix a non-exclusive licence only so we can deliver to the stores you choose, and you can request a takedown at any time.

Can I switch from another distributor and keep my UPC/ISRC?

Yes. Tick "This release was distributed before" in the editor and enter your existing UPC and original release date so your streams and codes carry over instead of creating a duplicate.
