Releese for Managers
Daniel Asserhad replaced four tools with one — and never looked back
After taking over daily operations for a growing label, Daniel Asserhad needed a distributor that could handle releases, royalties, and artist coordination without relying on multiple platforms. By moving label operations into Releese, his team was able to simplify payouts, reduce repetitive admin work, and keep artists more informed about their earnings.

Before Releese
Before adopting Releese, Daniel’s team relied on several different tools to manage distribution, royalties, and marketing. As the label grew, coordinating these tools became more time-consuming and harder to manage across artists and releases.
Distribution handled through external platforms
Royalty payouts processed manually
Multiple tools required to manage label operations
Limited visibility for artists into payouts and performance
Operational complexity increased as the label expanded
Choosing a distributor that could support the label’s growth
When Daniel took over label ownership responsibilities, the team began searching for a distributor that could support their operations as they scaled.
They wanted a platform that combined the tools needed to run releases while keeping the experience simple for both the label and its artists.
Core capabilities adopted
Distribution and release management
Automated royalty splits and recoups
Built-in smart links and marketing tools
Artist visibility into earnings and releases
Transitioning label operations into Releese
Daniel’s team integrated Releese into their label workflow by gradually managing releases and royalties through the platform. Instead of continuing to manage each process separately, they began running their releases, artist payouts, and communication through one system.
