What's the deal with YouTube Music?
It also helps artists like you find audiences and earn revenue for the content you're already creating. Learn more about getting started with YouTube Music. Your videos are automatically visible to viewers on ad-supported YouTube and through a paid membership to YouTube Music Premium. The revenue from the paid membership gives a new source of revenue for artists like you.

As a YouTube built just for music, YouTube Music lets fans watch and listen to a nearly endless catalog in an app designed for music discovery. It helps fans more easily discover the breadth and diversity of music content on YouTube and connect to artists like you. Thanks to your music videos, remixes, covers, and more, YouTube is the best place to discover music from artists all over the world. We know that people enjoy music in many different ways so our subscription services give subscribers more choice.

If you currently have a free Google Play Music account, you'll also continue to have the same access after your transfer.

In some cases, we may need you to confirm your billing information before we can finish the transfer.
