How do I become an artist?

[JoshuaDaJedi]

I am thinking of releasing my own songs and thinking about it. Is there a way I could do that?

Hey @JoshuaDaJedi,

Thanks for reaching out 🙂

To make sure everything on Spotify is properly licensed, they require all music to be delivered by labels and distributors. We have deals with most labels and distributors, so if you’re signed to one just ask them to put your music on Spotify.

If you’re not signed to a label or distributor, we have deals in place with companies who can deliver your music to us and collect royalties for you. These are called aggregators/distributors.

I personally recommend using DistroKid, as they don’t take any cut from your royalities and have a great plan pricing. You can check out Spotify’s own recommendations at https://artists.spotify.com/faq#how-do-i-get-my-music-on-spotify.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
