UnitedMasters offers additional services such as data analytics, marketing tools, and creative services to help artists grow their fan base. A key feature of UnitedMasters is that it allows artists to retain full ownership of their music and master recording rights, which is different from the traditional record label model. The company generates revenue through its premium UnitedMasters SELECT plan, which offers artists extra benefits like special event invitations and collaboration opportunities with established musicians.
