What We Do
Everything an independent artist needs.
From the first pitch to the last stream — Charkoal handles the work so you can focus on the music.
Curator Pitching
Personalized pitches sent to vetted blogs, playlists, and YouTube channels every week. You get a daily recap of who heard your music.
Spotify Momentum Tracking
We watch your playlist adds, follower growth, and streaming velocity so you know exactly what's working.
Smart Links & Pre-Save Pages
Every release gets a custom landing page with pre-save, all DSPs, and built-in tracking. No more Linkfire fees.
Social Media Automation
We turn your tracks into TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and X content — captions, clips, posting schedule, all done for you.
Sync Brief Matching
We monitor sync briefs from supervisors and match them against your catalog. Get your music in film, TV, and ads.
Release Day War Room
Your release day, fully orchestrated. Pre-saves fire, social posts go live, curators get pitched — all on autopilot.
Now Featured
The artist Charkoal was built around.
G.I.F.T.E.D — co-owner, flagship artist, and the voice the Charkoal engine was built to lift. Every weekday, his record ‘Her Energy’ goes out to vetted curators across our network.
G.I.F.T.E.D
We Black And We Hot.
G.I.F.T.E.D is a co-owner of Charkoal Records and the artist whose music the platform was built around. His record ‘Her Energy’ was the first song through the Charkoal pitching engine — and it's still running. Every weekday, Amina, our Chief of Artist Services, sends personalized pitches to curators across blogs, playlists, and YouTube channels. The recaps every morning let our artists know a label is behind them — not just hope it.
