    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

    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.

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

    @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.

    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!!

    Hey! I recently uploaded one of my first singles on apple music but there is a problem. When i try and claim my artist page it just says (Can’t Add Artist You’re only able to add artists who are the primary artist on at least one song in Apple Music. The artist you’re looking for may only be a featured artist on all available songs and albums.) I have tried pasting the links and when i do it says that they cant search for artists right now. I am very confused since this is my first time uploading through distrokid and apple in general. I am the only artist on the song. It is a lofi instrumental. So i am the only artist for the track yet it says that i might be a feature so thats why i cant claim my artists profile. Any chance you might know a solution to this?
