FUGA and Single Join Forces to Boost Fan Engagement
FUGA and Single partner to integrate music distribution with Shopify D2C sales.
B2B music distribution platform FUGA has teamed up with direct-to-consumer (D2C) app Single.
The collab:
- The integration means clients of the Downtown-owned FUGA can deliver music straight to their Shopify storefronts where they sell merchandise, bringing distribution and direct sales in a single workflow.
- Releases can go live on streaming platforms while also powering fan engagement through listening parties, early merch drops and exclusive communities, all on Shopify via Single.
- D2C music sales from artist and label-owned storefronts are reported to the US, UK and Australian charts.
- FUGA is the first music distributor to partner with Single, giving its clients a starting point to grow their DSP presence and D2C business in one place.
- It marks FUGA’s first move into direct-to-consumer e-commerce.
What they said:
- Tommy Stalknecht, Single Co-founder and CEO: “Our partnership with FUGA isn’t just about sales – it’s about transforming distribution into a direct fan connection. No other platform gives artists and labels this level of control, turning every release into an opportunity to engage fans, capture first-party data, and drive direct revenue.”
