Spotify for Artists is Spotify’s free app for artists and their teams. Claim your profile to update your photo and bio, see who is listening, and pitch new songs to Spotify’s editors.
Your artist profile exists once your first release is live on Spotify. Then claim it in six steps.
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.
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.
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.
Spotify reviews each request itself. Most are approved within a few days, and you are notified by email.
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.
Every stream of your music earns royalties. One Digital Music collects them from Spotify and passes them on to you in full — you keep your masters, and your plan fee is the only thing you pay us.
One upload reaches Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and more than 150 other stores and services worldwide.
You keep ownership of your recordings. Your plan fee is what you pay us — streaming revenue is passed through to you in full.
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.
Our team reviews each release before delivery, and ISRC and UPC codes are assigned for you. Earnings and payouts live in one dashboard.
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.
No. Spotify for Artists is free, from Spotify, for every artist with music on the service.
Spotify reviews each request, and most are approved within a few days.
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.
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.
Release on Spotify with One Digital Music, then claim your profile.
