FREDOLAY hey dude, wanted to update you. I was able to have all of my followers transferred over to my new profile by going directly to Spotify and requesting it. It was much easier than I thought it would be. So now we’re really back in business!
@@tomdupreeiii Yo, I wanted to ask how did you get this done? I watch all ur vids, great content! Its kinda annoying when i started my distributr didnt let me put my name all lower caps, and i want it to be like that... now it got caps, but idk is it even worth because i worked hard to get streams, playlist placements and followers. what do youthink? I highly value your opinion about this
Syntax if you’re just trying to change the case of your name and not the spelling, that falls under a formatting issue and any distributor should be able to help you change that by submitting a metadata request to stores. If you’re trying to change the spelling (or change your name entirely) both Amuse and routenote will let you do this. You’ll have to transfer your entire catalog over to them and then delete it from your current distributor before initiating the change. From there, it’s a metadata change submitted to stores again.
@@tomdupreeiii Wow :OO is that true?!?!? That actually is incredible, its very annoying how most distributors always try to adjust my caps and lower cases :/ Thanks! Imma email my distributor!
Hahaha, "I'm from the south, its a thing". Sounds legit ;) Wow, you are really the first one documenting this and its so useful to know. I am actually also in the middle of a name switch but preferred to make a clean cut. Still, this might come in handy some day to relate to other people. Also, I just checked and now the "P" is capitalized on SY!! Hooooray ;)
Haha! It's a total thing. Yeah man, they got the "P" capitalized in no time! Whoohoo! Thanks for watching dude. Hope the name change goes well for you too!
Hello Sir, i requested a Name Change on Spotify and they created a new Page with the new name. The problem is that the new profile is blank, how do i claim it from Spotify to edit the new Artist Page? Because Distrokid doesn't allow you to claim 2 Artist Accounts.
good sir thanks for the video I have been swimming in the waters of changing my artist name and am having a bit of a time getting my new Spotify for artists started. How have you made a new Spotify for artists? thanks for all the great videos.
You can claim your SFA profile via DistroKid if you use them to distribute your music. If not, you should be able to simply visit artists.spotify.com and claim your artist name once your first song is out. Thank you for watching!
i changed my artist name through distrokid and all of my songs went to the account under my new name, but when i go on Spotify Artists, it just shows my old name and the monthly listeners i had. What do i do?
@@tomdupreeiii i tried doing that but when i go to claim it, it tells me that since i uploaded it through distrokid that it already is claimed,but when i sign in the account it still says my old name and no songs are there
@@tomdupreeiii ok ! And how did you verify your new Spotify account ? I’m having trouble with that .I am not able to customize my new account and every time I got to Spotify for artist my old account pops out instead of my new one .
You'll need to request access to your new profile just as you did when you set up your old one. You'll become the admin on both accounts and can switch between the two.
Great information Tom. I will follow up. I'm still in the early stages of my three profiles, and I want to make it simpler by having only ONE Spotify For Artist Profile. Thanks so much!
@@tomdupreeiii At this point, in order to claim (get access) to the new artist page, should we create a new Spotify for Artist account, or can we get access with the already existing Spotify for Artist account (which was created to claim my previous artist page) ?
I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question. What part of the process are you referring to and what clickable options are you referring to? As for shifting your music over, you simply upload all of your songs to Amuse (while keeping them live with your old distributor) using the exact same metadata (i.e. ISRC code, cover art, song / album title, artist name, and original release date). Once you've confirmed everything has gone live through Amuse (it will appear duplicated in stores) you can delete the release from your old distributor.
@@tomdupreeiii thanks so much for the second part, and what i meant was as soon as you hit "Change in Release" , what do i do down the list? But i found out already so its all good
Hello I got one question: I want to change my Artist name from Alex V to my real name John Alexander Vega. I dont want to change the tracks I allrdy have publisht. So I want to have it like that so I can see back in time when I started all this. So, how do I change Alex V name on Spotify Artist to John Alexander Vega ? Do I change that when I change the name on Distrokid? and when I change it there it will change on My artist page on Spotify to? Or? Is that how I do it?
Hi Tom, I asked spotify about spotify curator playlist and I wonder when changing name if my song will be lost from curators list, I want to confirm that it wont. Do you know anything about curators list? I asked spotify and I actually didnt get exactly what they mention, this is the message “If you request a metadata update it won't affect your track submission. But if you change the order of your track, a different song will appear to our editors and they might pitch a different song. If you plan to remove the main artist who pitched the track, that same track would disappear from our editors' dashboard. We always recommend checking the details of your release from the Home tab in Spotify for Artists to ensure nothing's changed even after you request a metadata update. Let us know if anything else comes up! If we can help with anything else, just let us know.” If I change name ,will track order change? If anyone has experience about curators list ,please help, cheers
I have a question. I changed my artist name from Kemcili to Kem and since I did that, my Spotify Artist account didn't update with it, so it's still on my old name (Kemcil). This makes it so I can't manage my Spotify Artist account for my new name (Kem). I'm very hopeless about this and I'm considering starting a new Spotify account. Does someone know how I can fix this?
love the content and how you explained the whole process ! i have just released my debut single and im thinking about changing my artist name. I'd like to know if it worked for Apple Music, cause they said a big NO but how did that change after your release?
Hey thanks so much for watching! I’m really happy you found the video helpful. Yes, Apple Music changed without any problems. In fact, the only place that had an issue was Napster. Everything else went smoothly. Good luck with the name change!
hi, i also changed my name on spotify but , in order to login with the new name on Spotify for artist, do i have to use an other email address and start over ? Or you think it's a just a matter of time and that it ' ll update by itself? I tell this because when entering my Spotify for artist it still shows with my old name Thanks
Hey Tom ! So you were able to successfully transfer all your followers? I’m currently in this name change bind now and I don’t want to lose almost 2k followers. That’s a hard pill to swallow so that’s the only thing stopping me from the change but if that transfers I’m all for it.
I was! They didn’t automatically transfer for me at first. I’ve heard of others having them port over without having to do anything. But I contacted Spotify and they were happy to help. They moved them over for me. So if they don’t transfer automatically, Spotify will take care of it for you!
Angel Martinez good question. Consistently release music every 4-6 weeks for two years straight and spend at least $10 per day on well-targeted Facebook ads. That’ll get you started on the right path!
As someone who released music since 2011 and gotten 30 million streams without any labels. Releasing 1 big album per year, and singles to hype up albums every 1-2 months is how you slowly build your brand. I did that in 2013-2014 before it was "the thing" to do. It's WAY WAY harder these days than when I started though byt the 1 song/6 weeks is the best option if you're starting out. Tom is correct, spending some money on ads is pretty important to be seen. Been thinking a lot about name changing but it seems risky for me :)
Hey! This has been SUPER helpful thank you for sharing your name change journey. I'm in the process of doing this for mine, and am curious how you would go about switching over a song that I am featured on with another artist since I didn't upload it, but want to transfer it over and have my new name on it?
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. This is a tricky one. Since you didn't upload it, you'll need to have the other artist make the change for you, which means they'll have to go through the process of either having their distributor change it (if they will) or switching to a distributor that will. It may not be the ideal answer, but if they won't do it (or if you don't feel comfortable asking) you could always start uploading from a new profile and just leave that release as-is but link to it in your bio on your new profile. I hope that helps! Thanks for the question!
@@tomdupreeiii Thanks for answering!! That all makes sense and is helpful. I might just have to take the latter here but won't give up. The second a distributor comes out with a feature to easily change artist names they will be number one!!! I find it ridiculous that most still don't provide this service since it is not impossible- & since it seems to be a bigger process distributors should at least provide the option for an extra cost for those who are serious.
Nellie Schindler totally agree with that. I honestly don’t think it is quite as big of a deal as they try to make us believe it is. I think most just don’t want to fool with it. Best of luck on your name change and releases!
You can find the release ID in the Amuse app. Select the release you want to reference on the main page to bring it up individually. Once there, scroll to the bottom and you will see a field labeled "release ID". Simply touch the yellow number ID and it will copy to your clipboard so you can easily paste it in the related field on your submission request. Good question! Thanks for watching!
Tom, Did you end up getting those followers back? Our biggest concern is not having a google knowledge panel. We are thinking of switching up our name to get us a knowledge panel, and a better SEO. How important is that in your eyes? let us know and thank you so much for the video.
I did get them back! It was a pretty simple process. My knowledge panel sort of showed up one day. I think this is very important as you grow. SEO is often overlooked by artists and bands, and I think it's good to pay attention to it.
Hey Tom, did those 350 followers ever move over to the new page? and what about monthly listeners, just wondering. btw i just moved my entire catalog to amuse and it linked successfully. just put in for the name change now.
Dude, that's awesome! Glad the first steps have gone well for you. Yes, all my followers moved, though I had to contact Spotify to make it happen (they were super easy about it). And all the listeners reset, but they built back up within the first month. Good luck with the rest of the process!
@@Ozumi404 no problems with RU-vid and all my playlist placements carried over. Also I contacted Spotify to move my followers over and they did within a couple days
I really want to change my artist name as well but I still worry about playlists I’m featured in, losing followers, and all the data I’ve had on my page for the last 4 years. CD Baby is my distributor so I don’t have any hope for it. 🤦🏽♂️ I’ll try contacting support anyways.
If it helps, I retained all my playlist placements and data. And I got my followers transferred over by Spotify without issue. The only thing I lost was monthly listeners but that built right back up over the next month after the switch. I say definitely look into it!
Yes it will! My name was changed on all major platforms with the exception of Napster. But it's Napster, so I can't say I'm too worried about that one. Plus, I'm sure I will be able to get it sorted out eventually. Thanks for watching!
If I remember correctly, it took about two weeks for me. If you only have three songs and not many streams or followers or anything, I'd probably just create a new profile and delete the existing one. Cleaner and simpler.
That’s a great question! I honestly don’t know yet. It hasn’t really bothered me so I haven’t worried about trying to get it deleted. My guess is they will be able to do it once I ask. I just have to get around to it. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question!
@@tomdupreeiii they replied something like: "The profiles are not completely deleted, if you have the link to them you will be able to have access but the same stores hide them in their searches." In other words, they cant... (sorry for my bad english, im from argentina!)
Hey, nice video! Do you know how it works now that Distrokid has an option for changing the artist name? Are there any complications, things to be done in order to maintain followers and play counts etc? Edit: The way I see it, you go into the 'edit release' page, and from there you can simply change the the 'artist name'. Distrokid then suggests to update the name on all of my other releases. If I go through with that, is it likely that isrc-codes and metadata will be transferred -- as I understand that this is necessary to transfer followers/play counts etc?
I did changes both on Amuse and Distrokid. Distorkid changed the name super quickly like in two days I already could see new artist profile on Spotify. New artist page was created with the new name, so you definitely loose Spotify for Artists statistics etc... but on Distrokid everything should stay the same and sum up to the same data. At least I haven't noticed any problem on Distrikid administration. On Amuse, I'm still trying the change for three months. Now I have paid subscription, so things seems to got in move little bit and they are trying to respond in few days to my e-mails, so I hope it will work this time.
@@patmull1 Thanks for the response!! Follow up question: Do you know how likely it is for followers to be transferred on Spotify if I use the 'change name' function on Distrokid?
Hey! Did you ever get a reply from Distrokid? How did you do it when you had released some songs on Distro and some others on amuse? I want to change my name as well, but I have also released music with two different distributors, so not really sure how to go about it..
Hello sir I just recently changed my artist name through amuse one thing i can't understand why there's my previous account name is still there or it would take some time for the change??? please sir need a help here
Thank you Tom, I'm just in the begin, I make my first release and I see that there are so many artists with the same name on Spotify, and I decided to change my artist name by adding only three charts on the existing artist name, after seeing this video maybe that is possible to do.... 👋
I read in a reply that you’ve gotten your followers back.. is this the data transferred from your old account or just new followers? also is the monthly listener’s and song plays transferred as well ? Or did you have to build it back up?
You bet! That’s a good question. I honestly don’t know for sure. I’d have to imagine so. I would go through your distributor first and ask if they will request to pull it down. If they won’t do it, try Spotify directly. And I’d make sure you don’t have any music or anything on the profile before you submit the request. That’s what I would do at least. Hope that helps!
@@tomdupreeiii Thanks a lot, I will try this. I've spent the last 3 days trying to figure it out and haven't found anything lol. But I will contact the distributor. Keep up the great content!
MXM it works for most stores. I only had a couple that gave me issues but they eventually got fixed. The big ones - Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon - were all fine.
This is hella helpful I just changed my artist name like 6-7 days ago and they have changed it, but only one song that was under my former name is under this new name. Not sure how long it should take 🤦🏽♂️
@@tomdupreeiii What about these scenarios please Tom. 1. collabs where you've added another artist to a song so it shows up on their Spotify profile, would the song remain on their profile after the name change? 2. If a label has uploaded your music to their profile with the old name, would that be on your new name profile? Your help is highly appreciated as I'm sure you know.
I took your video as a guide and did it as you did: I had my tracks uploaded on DistroKid. Since DistroKid does not allow name changes, I switched to amuse. I changed my Artist name there and switched now back to DistroKid again. So I wanted to re-upload my tracks, with the new Artist name on DistroKid. But when I tried it, DistroKid gave me the Following message: Streaming services rejected this audio because it's already been uploaded, but with a different song title or artist name: • You & I by Mindblowerz The track isn’t online as Mindblowerz anywhere. So I wanted to ask you, how you could “fix” this… I couldn’t find the answer in your Video. Thanks!!!!!
Man, I'm sorry you're running into this snag. I experienced the exact same thing and, unfortunately, I don't have a concrete answer yet. I'm hoping that the metadata may purge once enough time goes by, but I just don't know for sure. I plan to keep testing it to see if that ends up being the case. Sorry I don't have more info yet. This isn't an issue I foresaw when I made the video.
@@tomdupreeiii Hmmm... shiiittttt.. Anyways, thank you so much for the video! It's still great that there is the oppertunity to change the artist name. I will try to fix this. I'm a 100% sure there is a way... because the old track is already on spotify with the changed metadata... so i think it's just a policy of distrokid. Because how could it be on spotify with changed metadata if stores don't allow it? 😂😂
They're actually saying now that you are not allowed to reupload your tracks under a new artist name even if you delete your all of your tracks under your previous one since the metadata has changed. They say the stores will flag you and won't pay you for your streams, but they word it as "the same audio" . It's unclear whether they mean that particular master file or if you remix, remaster, and a new file name, does that count as a new recording with a new UPC code? Maybe you can shed some light on that?
When you say "they" do you mean your distributor? Or Spotify, Apple, etc.? I didn't have any issues getting all of my metadata switched over to my new artist name; however, I did run into that metadata warning issue when I attempted to move my catalog back to DistroKid from Amuse. They flagged it and said I couldn't upload it due to conflicting metadata. But everything is up and running just fine through Amuse. And I'm still getting paid for my streams, so no issue there.
@@tomdupreeiii i did mean the stores actually. For some reason they don't like conflicting metadata. Also I'm not by "audio recording" do they mean the recording itself or the composition? I wanted to re record some stuff anyway, since I can play them better now
David HK Music when they say the “same audio” they mean the exact same master. Every master has a unique audio signature, which is what the ISRC code refers to. If you remix a track or remaster it, it will have a Jew audio signature, new ISRV code, and the metadata will no longer conflict. So yes, you could re-record old work and upload as a new recording without running into any metadata problems.
Thank you for the great content! I have a question: I have 2 tracks that have been distributed through Distrokid. If I want to switch from Distrokid to Amuse AND change my artist name, is this the right order?: 1) Create an account at Amuse. 2) Upload my 2 previous tracks from Distrokid to Amuse with their current ISRC, but exactly with the same artist name I currently have. 3) Wait for distribution to finish in all the stores (should I see each release twice on stores? (identical?)). 4) Email Distrokid about removing the tracks on their side / cancel Distrokid sub. 5) And then submit a request to Amuse for changing my artist name?
Hey thanks watching the video! Yep, you've got it exactly right. A couple of notes: on #3, yes, you'll see the release in stores twice. It will be identical and you'll see a little dropdown menu on the song's page in the desktop app. On #4, you can delete your songs from DK without contacting them. They make it easy in their app. But you may want to keep your subscription active in case you want to switch back after the name change. The rest is on the money! Good luck with the switch!
@@tomdupreeiii This is good to know, thank you very much you helped me a lot! "you'll see a little dropdown menu on the song's page in the desktop app" - you mean on Spotify?
@@tomdupreeiii Thanks, one last question I'm bothered with: I want to quit Distrokid after the distribution to Amuse is finished. So if I quit, what happens to my RU-vid channel?(Distrokid created the Topic channel for me and I claimed it already, and on the video's description it says "Provided to RU-vid by DistroKid") Do Amuse create another Topic channel for me to claim and then somehow merge the content?
Adir Itah Amuse will re-upload your songs to RU-vid and DistroKid will take theirs down. Since you’ll be posting duplicates I’d think it should show up under the same topic you’ve already claimed.
Hey Tom. After changing the name on distro kid, how do i get on to the new spotify for artiste account? I see all the names of my songs have changed on platforms, but my spotify for artist still says the wrong name. Any advice on this?
Tysm! Do you know if you are able to change the cover picture to one of your releases? Or do you just have to delete it and make a new one..? Please let me know!😊
Right now what i did is i created a new artist profile on amuse and i just re submitted all my realeses to the new artist profile with the same ISRC and they will be live in 14 days. Do u think ill lose my plays? I changed my name from Lil Zaker to King Zaker
If you changed your name before re-uploading your songs, yes, you’ll probably lose your plays. But I’m not positive on that. I re-uploaded under my old name and then request the name change through support. I’m interested to see how it pans out doing it your way.
@@tomdupreeiii I just created a new artist profile in amuse and re uploaded all may realeses from the other profile to the new one with the same ISRC code but i dont know if im gonna lose plays
@@christophermora9122 let me know how things pan out once everything goes live. I’m really curious to see if it all connects and you get to keep your streams, etc.
Hmm... bummer. I'd say give them at least five business days to reply. If it's been that long and still no word from them, maybe try them again. I know they can get backed up. If that doesn't work (or you don't want to try them again) you can try uploading your release through a different distributor (I recommend Amuse if you're not gonna use DistroKid). Make sure you use all the same metadata, including the incorrectly formatted artist name, and once that release shows up as a duplicate in stores, go through your new distributor to request the name adjustment and see if they'll handle it for you. Thanks for the question!
Hi Tom. When you signed up to amuse in order to move your already distributed tracks across, did you sign up as the artist name the tracks were already released under or with the new name you wanted to swap over to? Thanks
Hey Tom, i can't tell you how relevant this video is for me right now, ive been searching far and wide for a solution - im suffering from the same issue: im trying to re upload the same track under a different artist name, and ive been told that stores are rejecting the duplicate audio bc of different metadata, despite the content being removed and deleted from stores over 3 weeks ago.. Having been informed distrokid do have the power to request a name change, i contacted them and have been advised to re-upload my content under the original artist name, and then they may have options for me afterwards. this sounds totally counterintuitive to me but im willing to cooperate, have you heard of this happening before? My question is: can i just go to Amuse and ask them to submit a name change, bypassing distrokid? Would be so grateful for your help! Sam
Have you been using distrokid or have you been using a different distributor? I acutally have the same issue and was thinking of uploading my songs to CDbaby. I deleted my songs a couple days ago from the old name.
Hey Sam, thanks for the question. Sorry you're having such a rough time with making the switch. It sounds like either Amuse or DistroKid is a workable option for you since DK has offered to help. In my case, I uploaded through Amuse using my old artist name and then requested the change through them once my catalog was on their platform. So they made the change for me. I didn't do it during the upload process. If I were in your position right now, here's what I would do: Since you've already deleted your songs from all platforms, I would try uploading them using your new name through Amuse first (since DistroKid is giving you the conflicting metadata issue). You literally have nothing to lose by trying your new name through Amuse first. The worst that can happen is you get the same conflicting metadata result from them that you got from DK, in which case you're still in the same spot you are now. And I'd start with just one song as a test run. If it works, upload the rest. If Amuse gives you the metadata thing too, then it's really up to you which distributor you prefer. It sounds like both are an option for you. Upload through your platform of choice and then request the change from there. I hope that helps. Best of luck with getting things switched. I know it seems like a huge pain right now (been there), but it's really just a blip on the radar in the grand scheme and you'll be glad you did it in the long run!
Tom DuPree III hey tom thanks a lot, really appreciate the help. So just to reiterate, you advise trying to upload one song first with Amuse, if I run into the same issues, it’s up to me which distributor I choose, but based on your experience you would recommend amuse since they have been more transparent and helpful in the changing artist name process? Were you using distrokid prior to amuse btw?
Yep! That’s exactly it. I would recommend Amuse based on my experience, but if you’ve got DistroKid as an option then I wouldn’t discount that either. I had half of my catalog with DK prior to the switch and would likely have used them if they had let me make the switch. Of course I didn’t ask. I just took their FAQ at face value.
Hey so i use Distrokid to release music, i managed to change my name on Distrokid so all previous releases are there under the new name What i’m struggling with is the Spotify side of it, i can’t seem to claim the new Spotify page under my new name Can anybody help me with this?
What’s up man, really hoping for an answer here. I changed my name through distrokid and it went through on Spotify but on Apple Music and iTunes it’s still the original one. I wanna release a new song and I’m questioning whether it’ll show up on my og name on Apple Music and iTunes since it still hasn’t changed. Or will this new release be the only release under the new name? Damn this is annoying, it’s been at least a month since I’ve changed it
Hey Tom, this video was really insightful! Was wondering if you could steer me in the right direction. I researched changing my name over the weekend and took the DK FAQ at face value. I deleted my 3 singles over the weekend and today tried to schedule an upload with the 3 singles under a new name (I have two artist slots) and it said there was a duplicate error. My first thought was maybe since i only gave it two days, give it a little longer? The songs are off of the stores I put them on so i'm paranoid that if I try again it will give me the same error. Do you think I should wait a day or two more? Thanks!!
Hey thanks for watching! Sorry you’re dealing with this. I’ve experienced the exact same thing. I was attempting to move from a different distributor to DK so my solution was to just stay where I was and I never did find a complete solution with DK. My advice would be to give it a bit more time with DK and see if the metadata might “purge” from stores after a set period of time. If that doesn’t work, you might try uploading without the existing ISRC code and see if they’ll assign a new one, thereby making it a “new file” in their system. And if that doesn’t work, maybe try support and see what they say about timeline. And then finally, if that doesn’t work, you could always upload these three songs via a different distributor for the time being and then release all subsequent releases through DK. After more time has gone by, you can attempt to transfer those songs back over until you don’t see the error message anymore. I know that last one sounds like a pain but that’s the only one I know for sure will work. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for the question. Let me know how it goes!
@@tomdupreeiii man this reply was perfect. Thanks so much! Glad to know I'm not the only one haha. I think I am going to upload the EP with these three tunes on CDbaby with a new name and then continue uploading future releases through DK. I appreciate it Tom!
when i try to change artist name through RouteNote, i have to update each release and enter a new artist name. as the new artist name doesn't exist, it asks me if i want to open a new artist profile. should i just do one song and wait for the new artist profile to be opened, so i can choose it for the other releases without instructing routenote to open a new artist profile on each release?
I never actually put in the request with DistroKid. I just took them at their word in the FAQ section of their site. But I wish I had just so I’d know for sure whether or not they’d do it for me.
Hey Tom, so did you find cdbaby would be willing to do it or you were only able to do it with porting all your stuff over to a new distributor, I think you mentioned Amuse?
@Tom DuPree lll, interms of creating a new amuse account which package do you take to re-upload your work with them? Do you take the free one or the one you pay for?
hello! i have a doubt. i usually use Distrokid but i browsed Amuse and i saw that is free and that you can create an artist profile since 0! the fact is that i want to change my artist name but i don't know what to do with distrokid. Idk if cancel my Distrokid subscription, delete all and start a new page with the new name in Amuse or use my actual name on Amuse and ask for a change. I'm new in the music world and i don't know very well how to lead with distributors :(
This is a good question. If you want to change your artist name through Amuse, you will need to upload your songs through them using your old / current artist name. Once your tracks are live through Amuse, delete your songs from DistroKid and then request your name change through Amuse. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Btw you should try unitedmasters, there completely free with some setup and i just got my first song out! It does take around half a month for it to come out but idrc since its free lol.
How hard was it for you to port things over to Amuse btw? How did you do that part? Do they allow someone to have more than one artist name handled under their auspices by the same person/entity?
I have a question! My name is Joe Kruger, but on youtube and apple music, it is shown as Joe Krüger, which is incorrect. Would I contact my distributor (which is Amuse) to get that changed? In other words, I can't change the name myself on apple music or youtube?
Yes, you would need to contact your distributor to get that changed. Unfortunately, streaming platforms won't let us do that ourselves (yet). Fortunately though, that should simply fall under the category of a formatting issue, not necessarily a name change, so it should be a pretty easy fix.
@@tomdupreeiii thanks for the quick reply. I submitted a request to amuse and put it under name change anyway. I figured if it was just a typo, they'd reply that they could fix it really fast. Hopefully the change is fast and easy. The video was super helpful. You earned a like and sub from me!
@@tomdupreeiii Did it create a brand new artist page? Or did it update your current one? Im concerned whether my followers will disappear if it creates a brand new artist page, or will it just update my current artist name, and I keep the same followers?
It created a new artist page for me. But all of my followers were transferred over by Spotify. I had to contact them and ask but it wasn’t an issue at all.
