Négresse Marron Distribution (NMDD) is an independent digital music distribution company based in New York City. It provides a DIY platform for Haitian and French-Caribbean artists to distribute their music, including Kompa, Zouk, Rap Creole, Rabòday, Rasin (Roots) Ragga Rap, and Haitian Jazz. NMDD is an accessible option for artists looking to distribute their music without the need for a major record label. Artists and record labels retain all legal rights to their music.

NMDD is a division of Negre Marron Publishing, which collects publishing, mechanical, and sync royalties for Haitian and French-Caribbean songwriters, producers, lyricists, and composers.

The main objective of NMDD is to help HMI (Haitian Music Industry) artists distribute their music to digital service providers (DSPs) such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. NMDD is free to distribute music with, but they take a 20% commission on royalties.

One of the key benefits of using NMDD for music distribution is that they require all music to be fully mixed and mastered before distribution. This ensures that the quality of the sound is of the highest standard possible, which is crucial in the music industry.
