If you’ve already uploaded one of your songs to a digital distributor, one of the first things you need to do is sign up for artist services and claim your artist profiles on major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music.
And it is that registering with services like Spotify for Artists gives you access to a lot of useful statistics about your audience and very interesting exclusive functions.
WHY CLAIM YOUR ARTIST PROFILES
Signing up for artist services allows you to:
- Customize your artist profile (photos, Bio, live events,…)
- Propose your songs for the Playlists.
- Add Canvas to your songs.
- Promote merchandising items on your profile.
- See statistics about your audience (location, age) that can help you know who to target when promoting your music.
WHEN TO CLAIM YOUR ARTIST PROFILES
If you have not published anything yet and you are going to upload your first single or album, leave at least 6 weeks until the release to have time to claim your profile on the main platforms, record a video clip, promote the release, etc.
If you already have a song published, claim your profiles NOW.
