Not having to pay an upfront fee to use the service really makes uploading music feel genuine and not solely about the money. Being an independent artist is a very tough road, and feeling supported is paramount. Make Waves has been that support system for me.

Artists get more out of Make Waves compared to working with other distributors, whether through fairer splits in royalties or the personable, artist-centered, on-call support they provide.

I feel like Make Waves is actually involved in my entire process as an artist. I can always ask them questions, and I believe their communication with the artist is very transparent. I feel heard as an artist by Make Waves.

Jackie &amp; The Facts&nbsp;are an alternative indie-punk band from the Netherlands, making their debut with a sound that’s loud, gritty, and unapologetically alive. Their upcoming album,&nbsp;T.C.A.A.T., bursts with fuzzy riffs, punchy hooks, and razor-sharp lyrics. It’s high energy meets honesty - a record that captures the chaos, humour, and heart of trying to stay sane in modern times. Meanwhile, they’re tearing up stages across the Netherlands as part of&nbsp;Popronde, bringing their high-energy live show to audiences nationwide.
