If DistroKid removed your music without warning,

Verify the reason first;

• Check your email (including spam)
• Look for notices about:
– Copyright claims
– Policy violations
– Payment/subscription issues

• Take screenshots of:
– Removed tracks
– Missing releases

You need this for support.

Understand common causes;

• DistroKid may remove content due to:
– Copyright/DMCA complaints
– Fraud or streaming manipulation
– Expired subscription
– Metadata or policy violations

Restoration depends on the cause.

Act immediately;

• Contact support and write:
– “My music was removed without warning. Please explain and restore my releases.”

• Include:
– Artist name
– Release titles
– ISRC/UPC (if available)

Be clear and urgent.

Fix the issue;

• If subscription expired:
– Renew plan → music may return automatically

• If copyright issue:
– Provide proof you own the rights

• If metadata issue:
– Correct and resubmit

Follow their instructions exactly.

Speed up recovery;

• Reply quickly to support
• Provide all documents at once
• Avoid multiple incomplete tickets
