In Summary:

🔸 You’re not required to start sentences, titles, or text with a capital letter when uploading your content.
🔸 It depends on the individual platform (like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc.), as some may automatically adjust capitalization to fit their visual standards. 🧠💼


🔡 Can I Use All Lowercase?

Yes — absolutely! 🙌
If you want your song titles, album names, or text to appear in all lowercase for artistic or stylistic reasons, you can enter them that way from the start. For example:

  • the silence also speaks

  • inside of me

  • interlude ii

🎨 This minimalist, lowercase style has become increasingly popular among artists who want a unique, conceptual, or clean visual identity.


🧾 What If the Platform Changes It?

Some platforms may flag lowercase formatting as “non-standard” and automatically correct it by capitalizing the first letters.

But don’t worry:
🔹 You can submit an artistic justification, explaining that the lowercase style is part of your project’s creative vision.
🔹 In most cases, platforms will honor your request if you provide a clear explanation. ✔️🎭


🎯 Tips & Best Practices:

Be consistent: If you choose to go lowercase, apply it across all titles in the project.
🧠 Be proactive: If your distributor allows, attach a note explaining your artistic intent.
📬 Double-check: After release, review how your content appears on each store. If something was changed, you can usually request a correction.
