Verge Records International, Inc., doing business as ONErpm (ONE Revolution People's Music) is a music company that includes music distribution, publishing, and label services. Their label services are invite-only for artists in the more advanced stages of their careers.[1] In 2023, they launched a subsidiary called OFFstep,[2][3] specifically designed for emerging artists.[4] For a fixed fee, artists can release their music and upload videos using OFFstep—similar to platforms like DistroKid or TuneCore.
History
Founded in 2010 by Emmanuel Zunz and Matthew Olim, the company endeavored to offer such services as direct-to-fan sales, distribution to outlets like Facebook.[5]
According to information from the site, ONErpm charges no upfront fees and gives 85% of sales to artists and labels in a nonexclusive deal,[6] so the rights of artists are preserved and they also have an option to distribute content using Creative Commons licenses.
In 2013, ONErpm began offering a free package that includes distribution to Rdio, Grooveshark and YouTube in which artists can receive revenue generated from advertising on the video platform.[7]
In 2023, ONErpm launched ONErpm Enterprise Solutions (a Saas platform).
In 2026, the company hired music industry veteran Mike Easterlin to run their Nashville office.[8][9][10]
