Orion Distribution, part of the Orion Music Network, has officially partnered with ADA, the independent services arm of Warner Music Group.
This partnership connects independent artists on Orion with the same global distribution powerhouse trusted by Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Cardi B, David Guetta, and Burna Boy.
Why This Matters for Independent Artists
For years, independent musicians have struggled to access the same global reach as major labels. Now, with Orion x Warner Music Group (ADA), that changes.
Artists on Orion gain:
Global distribution through ADA’s network
Playlist promotion via Orion Promotion’s curator ecosystem
Full transparency with real-time insights
Artist-first support with creative freedom
