How to Claim Your Account on Apple Music for Artists
If you have uploaded music to the Digital Streaming Platforms (like Spotify or Apple Music) you need to claim your account on those individual platforms so you can make edits to your artist page and access all of the analytics of the platform. This video shows you how.
First go to this address artists.apple.com/support/42-... or Google search "Claim Apple Profile"

Hey, so once i upload my music to Cdbaby or tunecore , i should be able to search my artist Profile from those sites on Apple Music’s search bar? In other words, will Apple Music be able to find my music from other distributors even tho I’m searching for my music on Apples search bar?
Hey Matt, this was great. I do have a follow up question. Don't know if you know of this branch of request but I am currently trying to claim my artist profile as well, however my initial request has gotten rejected. The already release one song of mine that I featured on is the one I had linked for their verfication but hey said I wasn't the primary artist of that song. Do you know what would be best as a next step? Should I upload a song where I AM a primary artist and let CD Baby create the itunes profile for me. Once that is out, then I can request access on that one..... what do you think?

Just recently changed my artist name and therefore I'm making a new account to drop my new stuff under. Ideally, I would like to already have my new tracks on the profile with my profile pic as soon as I drop them. VS having to wait a week for them to review everything while my new track is on a profile with a blank pic for the first week . Do you know a way to work around this? I cant verify a profile or albums cuz I haven't dropped under my new name yet
@mattsteinfeld

You determine the release date. That would only happen if you opted to release the new music immediately. Upload all your new stuff through a distributor, put your release date out several weeks and claim the profile after it processes in about a week. Give yourself a bigger window.

Hi Matt, Great Video!! Super helpful. My question is, I’m an Independent artist looking for distributing my album through distrokid. So, do you recommend creating s artist profile on Apple Music first and linking to the distrokid or claiming the account after distrokid create an account for me in those platforms?
@mattsteinfeld
Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! Congrats on your release. There is only one way and that is the second way. You cannot create an Apple Artist Page without music. When you distribute the release through Distrikid, each streaming service will create an artist page for you and then you can claim those pages after. If this is your first release ever, give yourself at least 2 months of time from upload to release to claim your page before your release date.

@mattsteinfeld

Hi, no. If you set the release date further out the song uploads to Spotify before the release and you can adjust your profile. Make sure you set the release date like 2 months out to make sure it is processed way ahead of the release which gives you time to claim your profile and submit for Spotify playlist consideration. The first song is always going to take longer. After that it’s a couple weeks. Congratulations!!

No doubt it will 👍
What if someone created a profile without your permission on all music platform ( apple music, Spotify etc), how can you claim ownership of your music and collect the earnings from each platform? Please give me some insight because I really need help with this.

Hey! Thanks for watching. It really depends on if you have the same artist name by chance, or if it’s some type of fraudulent thing where it’s your name and they’re trying to benefit from it.

Your name and your music? Wow, that’s tough. You’re going to have to get in touch with those platforms, or if you know the distributor they used (like CD Baby) that way they will remove it from all platforms they distributed to. Do you by any chance know who did it? You could send them a Cease and Desist.

@@mattsteinfeld Everton Maragh One of his song - Greatest thing is to know This is a full album and even the album cover was taken without him knowing, this is what he was explaining to me. By the way, Everton is my uncle and I am trying to sort out this issue for him and could not get any information on how help. These persons have been making money from his music for years now. As it relates to the distributor we don't know the person or the body.

I’m sorry to hear that. Though, that person might own the rights to the music recordings. Either way, you need a lawyer who specializes in royalties. It might be expensive with no result. If the music is making more money than it will cost you to litigate, then it will be worth it. Good luck!

No, a distributor is the company that actually puts the music on the digital platforms for the artist. You, in this case, are whatever your “talent” and you agree upon.
