TuneCore: Worth your trust?

 

## **TuneCore — A distributor that destroyed my life’s work**

 

As an artist, an activist, and a human being with a mission, I feel compelled to warn others: TuneCore cannot be trusted. What happened to me goes far beyond a business mistake — it is a direct attack on my soul, my work, my very existence as a creator.

 

Without my permission, TuneCore removed *more than 400 songs from Spotify*, supposedly “at my request.”

A lie.

A destructive act that erased my entire catalogue — built over years of struggle, love, loss, and hope — in a single blow.

My life’s work, my voice, my story… *gone.*

 

I felt not only *financially betrayed*, but also **emotionally devastated**.

The pain was intense.

It was as if someone set fire to my archive and then claimed I had struck the match myself.

The impact? Days of exhaustion, grief, anger.

But also: a renewed strength. Because I cannot be broken.

 

I made backups, I re-uploaded everything through DistroKid — a platform that *does* treat artists with transparency and respect.

But the damage TuneCore caused is irreversible.

They didn’t just delete my music — they destroyed my trust in their entire system.

 

*TuneCore is not a partner for independent artists. They are a risk. A nightmare. The opposite of what music distribution should be: a bridge, not a barrier.*

 

My advice? *Stay away. Choose a distributor that honors your work instead of erasing it.*

And if you’re unsure, read my story — because forewarned is forearmed.

 

I am Pina Jones.

And I speak the language of love.

But against injustice, I speak loud and clear.
