It\u2019s where you manage your image, read your streaming stats, and pitch new music to Spotify\u2019s editorial playlists. Here\u2019s how to claim it, step by step, based on Spotify\u2019s own official guidance.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"before-you-start\">Before you start<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your music must already be live on Spotify, delivered through a label or distributor. Spotify does not accept direct uploads from artists \u2014 a profile is created automatically the first time your music appears in their catalog.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll need your <strong>Spotify artist link or URI<\/strong> (it looks like <code>spotify.com\/artist\/...<\/code> or <code>spotify:artist:...<\/code>). Ask your label or distributor for it, or find your profile by searching your artist name in the regular Spotify app and copying the link from your profile page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"step-by-step-claiming-your-profile\">Step-by-step: claiming your profile<\/h2>\n<ol type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Go to Spotify for Artists<\/strong> (artists.spotify.com) and log in with a Spotify account \u2014 your existing personal account works fine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose \u201cClaim Profile\u201d<\/strong> and paste your artist link or URI when asked which profile you\u2019re claiming.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verify your identity.<\/strong> Spotify asks you to add a link to your official website or social media accounts to confirm you\u2019re really the artist (or an authorized manager\/label representative).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Submit your request.<\/strong> Spotify reviews claims manually, so approval can take a few days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your email<\/strong> for confirmation. Once approved, you\u2019ll see the \u201cRegistered Artist\u201d label appear in the About section of your profile, along with the verification badge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If your music was released through a distributor such as DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby, you can often get <strong>instant access<\/strong> by requesting Spotify for Artists directly from your distributor\u2019s dashboard instead of applying manually \u2014 this skips the multi-day manual review.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"after-youre-approved\">After you\u2019re approved<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019re in, spend some time setting the profile up properly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add artist photos and a header image.<\/li>\n<li>Write a real bio.<\/li>\n<li>Set an <strong>Artist Pick<\/strong> to feature your latest release, tour, or announcement at the top of your page.<\/li>\n<li>Link your social channels, merch store, and (if eligible) a Fan Support fundraising link.<\/li>\n<li>Explore <strong>Canvas<\/strong> \u2014 short looping visuals attached to your tracks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"pitching-for-playlists\">Pitching for playlists<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest reasons to claim your profile early: Spotify for Artists lets you pitch <strong>unreleased<\/strong> songs to Spotify\u2019s own playlist editors. To be eligible, you need to submit your pitch at least <strong>7 days before release<\/strong>, through the \u201cUpcoming\u201d section of the Music tab. This only works for tracks that haven\u2019t been released yet, so claiming your account well ahead of your next release date is worth doing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"good-to-know\">Good to know<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Spotify for Artists is completely free \u2014 there\u2019s no paid tier required to claim or manage your profile.<\/li>\n<li>You can manage several artist profiles from a single Spotify account, though the platform grants access to one artist at a time, and each new claim needs its own review.<\/li>\n<li>If your profile has already been claimed by someone else on your team (a manager or label), you don\u2019t need to submit a new claim \u2014 ask that person\u2019s account to invite you instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Sources: Spotify for Artists \u2014 \u201cGet Started\u201d (artists.spotify.com\/en\/get-started); Spotify Support \u2014 \u201cCreating an artist profile on Spotify\u201d and \u201cGetting access to Spotify for Artists\u201d (support.spotify.com).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify for Artists is the free control panel behind every artist profile on Spotify.
