Ditto Music is an independent music distribution and artist-services company founded in 2005 by Lee and Matt Parsons, headquartered in Liverpool. It distributes for independent artists and labels and operates a label-services division.

It qualifies here on a material, named African operation: Ditto has run a South African office for several years, a Ghanaian office under Hassan Beiruthy, and appointed Adeyemi Akinnigbagbe as A&R and Label Services Representative in Nigeria. It operates a distinct Ditto Music Africa presence and has distributed for artists including Sarkodie and Darkoo.
