Recognizing the importance of the flourishing independent music scene in the North American market, Marian Distribution is committed to making available the best of this material to the public through our various initiatives and distribution channels. We work with all genres of music including pop, rock, dance, electronica, R&B, hip hop, jazz, alternative, country, blues, reggae and many more.

We work closely with all of our clients, immersing ourselves in their key demographic and helping to conceptualize the optimum distribution channels for each project. We realize and appreciate that every release is different, and our representatives’ dedication to each client is second to none.

Apart from the actual distribution of your material, Marian Distribution also provides you with expert retail marketing support. We stand by you through the entire process, from one sheet consultation and POP/price & positioning, to organizing in-store appearances and setting points of purchase, all the while keeping your budget in the forefront of our minds.

The record industry is in a state of flux. The digital revolution has changed the face of music, giving the independent artist/record label a myriad of options for making their music available to the public. We are committed to providing you with the best avenues available for servicing your consumer base, whether it means focusing on a specific region or the whole of North America. In short, we will make your catalog available wherever there is a demand for it and help you create demand where there is none. Marian Distribution, Inc., “Independent Approach, Major Results.”
