Hi I know this probably isn't the best place for me to ask my questions but I was trying to figure out how to post a new thread/start a new discussion or whatever and came across this and figured hey I'll ask anyway...

So I self released (via TuneCore) an EP in 2014 and an album in 2015 and ya know, they got some plays. Nothing too crazy but I felt like a rockstar considering I made the songs with a first gen. MacBook running garage band with the built in mic.

I got some underground college radio play and had a handful of super fans, literally one small handful which is practically nothing but STILL - felt like a total rockstar ya know?

At some point I did let my releases expire as I hoped maybe to re-release with another service/entice a label to take me under their wing, etc. I played shows and I kept releasing via BandCamp, I think there is over ten hours of my music available on my BandCamp profile.

(Sorry if I'm rambling on, I'll try to sum this up.)

Anyway, I recently re-released a good portion of my discography (via distrokid) as well as some brand new stuff and was not so delighted to find there was someone else using my artist name.

The new Instagram stories music sharing (which I have learned is licensed independent from Spotify) had linked all of my 100+ songs to the newly created and "verified" profile of this other dude.

I did try to speak with the other dude now using the "Kid Indigo" name and he did not respond, and just tweeted weird passive aggressive stuff instead.

My point is that when I first uploaded all of my stuff again I noticed that the algorithmic radio suggestions i.e. daily mix etc. were linked directly to the other Kid Indigo, a daily mix playlist would have my face as the cover art say it is featuring Kid Indigo (presumably me) and other artists (definitely algorithmically suggested based on lister preferences linked to the other profile). One of their less popular songs is still linked to mine when I look at my all time stats on Spotify for Artists (though it no longer appears on my profile)

Shortly I noticed that my songs then disappeared from these daily mix playlists and only the other artists appeared. Since then people have actually let me know that in a notable way I am not appearing in their daily mix playlists at all, while literally every single other artist they ever play or even think about playing does.

I don't mean to be whiny or weird or anything but I am actually just genuinely curious about this whole process, what do I do now?
