How BLNDR gave artists clearer royalty data and saved hours doing it
As BLNDR began releasing more music and working with more artists, founder Calvin Ngo needed a more structured way to manage distribution, royalties, and release coordination. By moving his label’s workflow into Releese, he brought releases, fan links, and financial transparency into one connected system.

Before Releese
Before adopting Releese, Calvin relied on several separate tools to manage the label’s operations. Distribution, royalty tracking, and fan link creation all happened in different platforms. As the label began scaling, this fragmented setup made releases harder to manage.
Why BLNDR chose Releese
As BLNDR grew, Calvin began looking for a platform that could bring distribution, marketing tools, and royalty management into one place.
He wanted a system that could scale alongside the label without adding more operational complexity.
Adopting Releese as BLNDR’s operational backbone
BLNDR integrated Releese directly into its release workflow. Instead of rebuilding processes from scratch, Calvin began managing new releases through the platform while gradually bringing the rest of the catalog into the system.
