Hey @AloraJean, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

 

It is excellent that you want to upload your music to Spotify. Although this is less about the Spotify app and more about music distribution, I will try my best to guide you in the right direction. 

 

In short, most artist apps require your music to be live before you can sign up. You can check the points below for a bit more detailed overview.

 

  1. Prepare your music. This consists of the song and the metadata, like the cover art.
  2. Find a distributor. You can find a list of the popular ones with a quick search. There should be both free and paid options.
  3. They are responsible for getting your music out on the platforms and managing royalties.
  4. The platforms and distributors have policies and processes to follow to get the content out. But generally consists of signing, uploading, checking for copyright infringements, and setting up royalties.
  5. Once done, you can sign up on the dedicated artist apps for Spotify and other platforms.
