1. 🆔 How do I claim my artist profile on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube?
Each platform has its own artist portal (Spotify for Artists, Apple Music for Artists, etc.).
In general, the process is:
Log in with your personal account.
Find your artist profile or your release.
Request access to the profile and complete the requested information (networks, website, seal, etc.).
Once approved, you will be able to edit your photo, bio, links, and view statistics.
2. 🧍♂️🧍♀️ My music is appearing on another artist's profile with the same name. What should I do?
This is a common problem when there are duplicate names. To fix it:
Copy the link to the wrong profile where your music appears.
Copy the link to the profile where it should be (or confirm that you don't have a profile yet).
Have the UPC and ISRC numbers of the songs handy .
With that information, support can ask the stores to separate catalogs and assign your releases to the correct profile.
3. 🎭 Can I use multiple artist names (aliases) on the same account?
Yes, you can work on multiple projects:
Each alias is configured as a distinct artist on the platform.
You must correctly assign who is the main artist on each release.
Thus, each project builds its own profile, catalog, and statistics.
4. 🖼️ How do I update my artist profile photo and bio?
This is usually done through the artist portal on each platform:
Upload a high-quality image (square, without brand logos).
Write a clear bio, including your story and key achievements.
Add links to social media and official website.
The changes may take a little while to appear, but they are usually reflected within a few hours.
5. 📊 Why don't my statistics on artist portals match my royalty reports?
Because:
The portals show streams almost in real time .
Your royalties are calculated on closed billing periods , with different rates and currencies.
It's normal for the numbers not to match exactly; you always have to compare the same time period .
