How do you get in touch with playlist owners as an artist?

NecroSonic — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 09:15:39 GMT

When you have your music on Spotify, how do you get in contact with relevant playlist owners to present your music if it seems to fit their playlist?

Thanks for your help

You can send someone a message in Spotify desktop player. Go to the playlist then click on the creators name at the top, then click follow on their profile.

Once you have done that, go to your album (or whatever you want to send) and right click > share and send them a message. 😉

This doesn't work.
I've followed these instructions exactly several times, and the only people it lets me send a message/share to is my facebook friends. For anyone else that I follow their playlist, but I'm not their friend on facebook, Spotify does not allow me to message them. Is this even possible anymore?? This is practically the only way for indie artists to try and market themselves within the Spotify community, yet the function is unavailable. If there is another or new way to do this PLEASE let us know!

Also, is there any way to submit songs to be considered for playlists created by Spotify? It seems impossible unless you have some major record label that in direct contact with Spotify employees....

Thanks!

Here is how I, personally, proceed.

As long time independant new music digger and playlists curator, I have my own website and people who wants contact me, most of time, use this way.

To be honest, I receive daily many requests to listen new music. As I have made this choice, the only streaming service I use is Spotiy. So, I pay more attention to people already having music available on Spotify. However, as I want keep my independance, it's not because I am requested that a song will be added in one of my playlists. It has to fit my taste. I always keep the last word and I am not "to buy" 🙂 but as I dig, daily and deeply the new releases on Spotify, if you have a good recording, I will find it.

I know other independant playlisters who can be reached also through a website. Usually it's mentioned in the description of their playlists.

There is also some playlisters who post in the community. Then can be PMed in the community.

In the case of "official" playlists makers as Spotify, Topsify, Digster, Filtr etc... they have their own curators and their own way to curate their playlists.

Since I'm a premium spotify user I am hoping that you would be able to offer the band Shotgun Messiah, they are awesome I think and believe I should have access to them

Hey dude! Checked out this album and it's pretty cool! I also have a question. How do you get "Fresh Finds" Spotify curators to notice you? If you are interested, here is a link to my band's album: https://open.spotify.com/album/0gd0QftG2R3eUepZ0sMiFW

@binkfruit123

Hello there and welcome to the community,

"Fresh Finds" are usually based on what main independent curators (magazine online, website, individual curators, blogs, etc...) are featuring in their playlists.

So, more your songs are playlisted by different sources, more you have a chance to be added to official Spotify "Fresh Finds" playlists.

Good luck 🙂

I've tried this and it doesn't work. When you click share you are only presented with the opportunity to share on facebook, twitter etc. There is no option to share with people you follow on spotify.
