In this video I show you how to access Spotify for artists prior to having any releases live, so you can pitch your first song to Spotify editorial. This entire process took about 2 days from uploading on DistroKid to pitching the song on Spotify for Artists.

Hey Andrew, do I have to upload the single to distrokid to be released right away in order to get access to my spotify artist page? I uploaded it but set the release date for a month after, is this ok? It's only been a day since I uploaded it, so maybe I just have to wait a bit longer

@timrault Год назад

I've uploaded my first EP to TuneCore 2 weeks ago and I wanted to get access to Spotify for artists to pitch my songs to playlist curators. But apparently my Spotify page will get created on the day that the music gets released and TuneCore doesn't provide me with the Spotify URI ahead of time so I guess there's no way I'll be able to pitch those songs and get my profile set up before the music comes out

@sirgodua 9 месяцев назад

Same thing seems to be the case with CD Baby, unfortunately. One thing that comes to mind is to slate it for release much sooner in advance. Maybe the code appears for you after, say, 4 weeks.

How can I find my URI number on One RPM?

@KittykoMusic 6 месяцев назад

I have an official Spotify artist page, which I got via a distributor that is not Distrokid. If I release on Distrokid instead of the other distributor, does anything change with my access to my spotify artist page? Does Distro just upload my stuff there and I don't have to do anything...I keep access to my Spotify page with no additional action from me? Or if I switch from one distributor to Distro, do I have to also switch something on my spotify account to be able to continue to access it? (I'm talking about releasing new stuff with Distro, not the old catalog; I'm not talking about bringing my old stuff to Distro.) Thanks. :)

Spotify for artists is still a long way behind RU-vid studio for stats etc.

Yeah, but if you look at the data they gave us 2 years ago its come a LONG way since then. They're also far ahead Apple and Amazon for Artists. Hopefully a year from now it will be even better.

@TrillerVogel 4 месяца назад

I‘ve read on a couple ob websites now, that you have to have at least 3 singles released in order to be able to claim the artist account. Is this still a thing? Is this only true for other distributors? I‘m a bit confused by this

@AndrewSouthworth 4 месяца назад

You've always been able to claim it when you have just 1 song distributed. Either after the song comes out or even before the song comes out if it's already been digested and you have enough time. RU-vid used to have a 3 single rule for official artist channels but I believe thats been lifted since then.

@JayyxAloan000 2 месяца назад

I need help because my distrokid posts like the same day or the next day so how can i pitch?

@AndrewSouthworth 2 месяца назад

You need to schedule your releases in advance to pitch, typically you want to upload your songs at least 2 weeks prior to the release date. For DistroKid this means you need to be on the Musician Plus plan or higher.

@AndrewSouthworth 11 месяцев назад

If you distribute a song they'll create an artist profile for you, and then you can get access either through your distributor or through Spotify directly. You can get access to it earlier, but you must have the song distributed first. The distribution triggers the creation of the artist profile.

@@AndrewSouthworth how long would you recommend someone to wait

@AndrewSouthworth Год назад

After distributing i'd give it 3-4 days, then see if the artist URL shows up when trying to request. If not give it another day or contact Spotify support. Thats if you're using DistroKid or Amuse or something, usually it takes 2-3 days to hit Spotify. If you're using CD Baby who distributes quite slowly, it could take a couple weeks. Then another day or so for Spotify to digest the track.
