Hey!

Congrats on uploading you tracks - that's always an exciting step! TO make sure you have access to your artist page please register for Spotify For Artists here. Be sure to complete the Twitter verification/sync part as it helps the Spotify team verify who you are. Also, in the 'anythign else we need to know' box you can provide any other pertinent links you think might help in proving who you are.

Via Spotify For Artists you'll be able to change your artist image, select an artist pin, manage artist playlists, see fan stats, and see analytics data.

Now that Spotify For Artists is live you cannot sync an artist page and a user account so the only way to gain access is via the instruction above.

Hope this helps!

If your tracks are being uploaded to different artist pages, you can reach out to Spotify support with links to both and they can rectify it.

I know exactly what you mean! I am also experiencing this. I read the solution to this problem and it's that Spotify no longer allows you to merge your personal and artist accounts. So although I have editing access to my artist page, my personal account can still follow my artist one. Apparently you used to be able to merge them but they did away with that for some reason...

Does Claiming an Artist Profile Effect Your Spotify Premium

wyfinity — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 03:02:35 GMT

I have Spotify Premium. I also want to claim my artist profile. When I claim my artist profile, will that effect my Spotify Premium or would I keep both?

Working through a distributor or aggregator solves this problem. Even though DIY is an option, you have to be patient with the process. Our artist had the same issue. Unfortunately, the platform algorithyms does not have the ability to predict sourcing. If you really want to publish on your own, then we suggest you keep raching out to Spotify. Eventually, they will merge your profiles and aggregate your songs together. Good luck.

HI there

I'd like to know how to claim a second artist - because my distribution company got the name wrong on my first album and listed me as Wendy Kirkland Quartet, I claimed this profile. NOw my second album has gone up as Wendy Kirkland and I would like to claim this too.

Although, annoyingly I've been told I can't change the name of the artist on the first album from Wendy Kirkland Quartet to Wendy Kirkland, I would at least like to claim the second album too.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Wendy

Wendy, the best way to do this is to write your distributor. If you have different distributors for the releases, then you may want to consider moving to one distributor. Otherwise, you will need to copy the Spotify url / uri for the artist you want to be listed as, and send that to both distributors and request that they list your albums under that url/uri.

Spotify cannot help you directly, and if they do, it will take a while.

Hey @aryapraditya,

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.

It'd be great for you to follow @Ivan's suggestions and get in touch with our folks in the Artists support team in order to have this sorted. If you've claimed and accessed the right artist profile, it'd also be great to take a look at this page since it'll allow you to report any mismatch which might have happened involving your own content.

Hey @seanyseanmusic,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

On the artist page, you can select the option "Get Access" and then "Artist or manager" to claim the profile. However, if the artist name is duplicated, we'd recommend selecting a different one. To do so, you need to get in touch with your label or distributor to submit a metadata update to us. As a suggestion, you could ask them to use the same name seanyseanmusic to rename your artist profile.

In case you want to claim that specific name to be unique, you need to contact the other artist who has the name shared with you to dispute the legal rights of the name.

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, we're just a post away.
