🚀 Step-by-Step Guide to Uploading Your Music on UMW Recordings

Technical Requirements (Mandatory):

✅ Accepted formats: .WAV or .FLAC (⚠️ MP3 is not accepted!)
✅ Minimum quality: 16bit / 44.1kHz
✅ Max file size: 200MB per track

🎯 Pro Tip: Always use .WAV for professional-grade fidelity. Your music deserves to sound its best! 🏆

Before uploading, make sure you’ve gathered all of the following:

🎵 Title of album / single / EP
🧑‍🎤 Main artist name
🎙️ Artist roles: composer, performer, producer, etc.
📆 Year of production and copyright
🏷️ Record label
🎯 Catalogue number (optional, but highly recommended)

💡 These are not just form fields – they shape your digital identity as an artist. Fill them out with pride and attention to detail!

Before continuing, you’ll need to confirm:

☑️ Tracks are properly labeled
☑️ You have distribution rights in all selected regions
☑️ You’re not using another artist’s name without permission

❗Mistakes here may result in rejection by Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and other platforms.

Thinking of uploading a cover of a famous track?

📄 You need a valid license or legal documentation to do so.

⚠️ Never use another artist’s name, song title, or lyrics without written consent.

🚫 Common rejection examples:

❌ “Shape of You (UMW Remix)” without permission
❌ “Bad Bunny type beat” as a title

Uploading is easy, but launching is strategic.
Define a moment that will elevate your artistic career!
