If you are releasing music to Spotify for the first time it’s sometimes difficult to find your Artist Profile. Learn how to claim your Spotify for artists profile – before your first release. Consequently, this allows you to pitch your track to Spotify Playlists.
This video shows you how I claimed my profile with a brand new artist release.
Although I am using Distrokid, the process should be similar for whichever distributor you are using.
Why you should claim your Spotify For Artists Profile
Spotify is one of the biggest distributors of digital music. So, as an artist, you’ll benefit from getting your music on their playlists.
However, before you can pitch to a playlist you need to claim your Spotify for artists profile.
Playlists increase exposure for artists and increase streaming numbers. Basically, you’d be crazy not to!
The video above shows you how to claim your Spotify for artists profile – before your first release.
Claiming your profile before your first release
If you are releasing music for the first time or under a new artist profile it can be harder to find your Spotify for artists profile. This is simply because you don’t have any music within the Spotify system already.
If you haven’t already submitted music to a distributor, do this first. However, set the release date to be at least 4 weeks in the future. This is so you have time to claim your Spotify for artists profile and submit a pitch to playlists.
I can personally recommend Distrokid for getting your music out to streaming services. If you’d like to sign up for Distrokid and get a 7% discount please use my personal link as this really helps me out too!
