How to get access to Spotify for Artists

Your artist profile exists once your first release is live on Spotify. Then claim it in six steps.

  1. 1

    Release your music on Spotify

    Your Spotify artist profile is created with your first release. Release with One Digital Music and it goes live on the date you set.

    Open artists.spotify.com and choose to get access. Sign in with your Spotify account, or create a free one.

  3. 3

    Find your artist profile

    Search for your artist name, or paste the link to your Spotify artist profile. Make sure it is the profile your music was delivered to.

  4. 4

    Verify that it is you

    Spotify asks you to confirm the profile is yours, for example through your distributor or your social accounts. If Spotify needs us to confirm, contact our support team.

    Wait for approval

    Spotify reviews each request itself. Most are approved within a few days, and you are notified by email.

  6. 6

    Make your profile yours

    Add your photo and bio, set up Canvas and your Artist Pick, follow your listeners and streams, and pitch unreleased songs to Spotify’s editorial playlists.

How you earn on Spotify

The right artist profile

Before a release goes out we ask whether you already have music on the store, so it lands on your existing profile instead of creating a duplicate.

Spotify for Artists questions

How do I create an artist profile on Spotify?

You don’t create it yourself: Spotify creates it the first time a release is delivered under your artist name. If you already have music on Spotify, answer “Yes” to the Spotify question on our upload form so the new release lands on your existing profile instead of a new one.

Does Spotify for Artists cost anything?

No. Spotify for Artists is free, from Spotify, for every artist with music on the service.

How long does it take to get access?

Spotify reviews each request, and most are approved within a few days.

My release went to the wrong artist profile. What do I do?

Contact our support team with the release and the correct profile link. We will ask Spotify to move it. To avoid it next time, link your profile on the upload form — we remember it for your future releases.

Can I see my Spotify Wrapped?

When Spotify publishes Wrapped for Artists at the end of the year, you find your own year in numbers inside Spotify for Artists — one more reason to claim your profile.
