How to Claim Your Artist Profile on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and More

Your music can be live on every store while your profiles still show no photo, no bio and no way for you to see who is listening. Claiming your artist profiles fixes that, and it only takes an afternoon. Do it as soon as your first release is delivered.
Before you start
- Use exactly the same artist name everywhere, including capitalisation and spacing.
- Have a square profile photo, a wide header image and a short bio ready.
- Have links to your website or social accounts; several platforms use them to verify you.
Spotify for Artists
Sign up at Spotify for Artists, search for your profile and request access. You can request access once your first release has been delivered to Spotify, even before release day. Once verified you can edit your bio and images, pitch unreleased songs to editors, add Canvas videos and see listener statistics. Our Spotify for Artists guide covers the tools in detail.
Apple Music para Artistas
Sign in with an Apple Account, search for your artist page and request access. Apple verifies you through your distributor or your linked accounts. You get listener data for Apple Music and Shazam, and you can update your artist image.
Amazon Music for Artists
Download the Amazon Music for Artists app or use the website, claim your profile and verify. You get streaming statistics and can update your profile image.
YouTube: Topic channel and Official Artist Channel
When your music is delivered to YouTube Music, YouTube creates an automatic "Topic" channel for your releases. If you also run your own YouTube channel, the two can be merged into an Official Artist Channel. That gives you one channel with a music note badge, your releases and your videos in one place, and subscribers from both.
To qualify, your channel must represent only you and have no policy strikes, and your Topic channel needs at least three official releases. YouTube only accepts these requests from a distributor or label. SpaceMedia users can request the connection as a paid, one-time service from the YouTube Artist Channel page in the dashboard, by entering their channel URL and their Topic channel URL. The two channel names must match exactly.
Deezer, TIDAL and others
- Deezer for Creators: claim your profile to update images and see audience statistics.
- TIDAL Artist Home: claim your profile to manage your page and see data.
- SoundCloud and Audiomack: if you also upload there directly, connect those accounts to the same artist name.
Fixing a profile that shows the wrong music
Artists with common names sometimes find someone else's song on their page, or their song on someone else's page. Do not try to fix this by uploading again. Contact your distributor with the release, the store and the correct profile link, and the release can be moved to the right page.
After you are verified
- Add the same bio and photo everywhere, so listeners recognise you.
- Check the statistics once a week: where listeners come from and which playlists add you.
- Keep your profile updated before every release, not after.

Una vez que tu música se distribuya y gane tracción, garantizamos una compensación oportuna por tu trabajo creativo.
SpaceMedia entrega música a una red amplia y cambiante de plataformas de streaming, descarga, redes sociales y plataformas de identificación de música. Esto puede incluir servicios principales como Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TikTok, Facebook y Instagram, SoundCloud, Tidal, Pandora, Boomplay, Anghami, iHeart, JioSaavn, KKBOX, NetEase Cloud Music, Tencent, Qobuz y otros socios compatibles.
El canal exacto puede cambiar a medida que las plataformas actualicen territorios, reglas y requisitos de entrega. SpaceMedia te da acceso a canales de distribución compatibles, pero ningún distribuidor puede garantizar que todas las plataformas acepten cada lanzamiento en todos los países.
Most major streaming services do not let every artist upload music directly. A distributor like SpaceMedia delivers your audio, artwork, metadata, and rights information to supported platforms so your release can appear on services such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TikTok, and others.
Create an account, choose the plan that fits your needs, upload the final release files, review the details, and submit. SpaceMedia reviews Free submissions within 5 business days, Premium submissions within 2 business days, and Label submissions within 1 to 2 business days. Store publishing happens afterwards.
Puedes monetizar música elegible en plataformas de video compatibles mediante Content ID cuando tu plan lo incluye. Content ID está incluido actualmente en Premium y Unlimited, y no está incluido en el plan Free.
Solo envía música que controles completamente para Content ID. Pistas con muestras no autorizadas, beats no exclusivos, bucles libres de regalías usados por muchos creadores, grabaciones de dominio público o derechos disputados pueden ser rechazados o pueden generar reclamaciones que deben resolverse.
Envía tu lanzamiento a través de SpaceMedia y elige la distribución hacia plataformas de música social cuando esté disponible. Lanzamientos elegibles pueden entregarse a plataformas como TikTok, Facebook, Instagram y otros servicios sociales de música compatibles.
Una vez entregado, cada plataforma decide cómo aparece la música, cuánto tiempo toma el procesamiento y qué funciones están disponibles en cada territorio. Usa metadatos precisos y audio limpio para reducir problemas de entrega evitables.
Independent music distribution lets artists release music to streaming, download, and social platforms without signing to a traditional record label. You stay in control of your music while using a distributor to deliver it to supported services.
With SpaceMedia, you can manage releases, artist details, earnings, and payout information from your account. All standard plans let users keep 100% of standard DSP royalties.
The Free plan lets artists release music without an upfront distribution fee and keep 100% of standard DSP royalties.
This gives new artists a way to start releasing music before paying for a yearly plan. Premium and Label add more primary-artist capacity and tools. All standard plans include 100% of standard DSP royalties.
Sí. En muchos casos puedes transferir lanzamientos existentes a SpaceMedia manteniéndolos activos, siempre que envíes los mismos metadatos, audio, arte, UPC y ISRC cuando esté disponible.
Mantén el lanzamiento antiguo activo hasta que la entrega de SpaceMedia esté disponible y coincida correctamente. Eliminar la versión antigua demasiado pronto puede interrumpir la disponibilidad o hacer que las tiendas traten la transferencia como un lanzamiento nuevo en lugar de asignarlo al existente.
