Demo & Development Intake

Submit a demo for internal compliance review.

Kandake reviews each submission privately, with the same compliance discipline applied to commercial catalog records. Submitting a demo does not grant any licence, registration, clearance, release approval, or commercial use. Material is held securely. We will contact you only if additional information is required.

3 — Contributors & sources

Everyone & everything that touched it

These fields exist so Kandake can verify origin, splits, and rights cleanly before considering the recording for development. Be honest and as complete as you can — gaps are fine; misrepresentation is not.

Known contributors (writers, producers, performers, vocalists, instrumentalists)

Known third-party elements (samples, interpolations, beats, AI-assisted sources, library cues, etc.)

4 — Files
