    @@AudioTechTV With me, it's recording the final lead vocal mostly. I'm recording original songs I sang at my wedding in 1991, and some written in the following years. I sang them onstage for nearly 30 years with bands, but now recording them, for some reason, I'm changing the arrangements, and rewriting the lyrics. In general, I'm just overthinking everything, and finishing nothing! Edit - I like the two new songs, but I've got to sort out my Spotify account, can't seem to log in to leave my email address. The preview sounds great though, something a bit different. 👍

    This video cleared a lot up for me that I was stuck on, so thank you. I have a question about the artist page on Spotify. If I select that it's a first release for Spotify, etc, does it then create an artist page for me on there? If so, is that when I then go through the Get Access stuff with Spotify to claim it or do I need to do this before? I am very stuck on this. Thanks!

    If it’s a first release for that artist/band then they will create the Spotify page for you and then you can go in and claim it plus add your logo and any other customizations that you want on there. So you don’t need to have one first

    Release times all depend on how busy DistroKid and the sites are. Some sites might get it tomorrow some may take a couple days and some can take weeks. Sometimes mine get release in a day or two on KZread, Spotify, and iTunes. Sometimes it’s longer. There’s no way to speed this up. It’s best to plan ahead and schedule your releases in advance.

    Could you explain what do you mean you already have an instagram setup? Do you mean you have an instagram account and you paste the url or you setup something special for distrokid? So what should we check (yes or no) for the first time release as a new artist. Thank you!

    Yes it will make a Spotify account for you and once your song is posted on there then you can claim that Spotify account through DistroKid and customize your Spotify artist page with your bio, & header artwork plus it gives you the verified artist badge which looks a little more professional.

    Yes. It will make all of the artist channels and pages on all of the sites that you choose to release your music on. On KZread it gets posted to what they call a topic channel. It would look something like “your band - topic” if you have an existing KZread channel for your music then you can apply through DistroKid to get an official artist channel on KZread. This will combine the topic channel with your own channel that you set up plus it gives you some additional features on KZread and allows you to customize it the way you like.
