How To Claim and Update Your Artist/Label Pages

Have you claimed your artist/label page yet? What about updated those old pics from when you first started your career? Claiming your page gives you more control and allows you to view more information about your streams and followers, plus so much more. To help you out, this post breaks down how to do all of this on each major platform. Let’s dive in…

How To Claim and Update Your Artist/Label Pages

Amazon for Artists

Once you claim your profile, you’ll have access to streaming analytics and Alexa statistics for your music on Amazon, as well as control over your Amazon Music Artist Profile picture, background image, and more. To claim your artist name on Amazon, head over to https://artists.amazon.com/select. Next, follow the steps below…

• Click “Get Started”
• Log in to your Amazon account
• Click on the “Claim an Artist” button in the upper right or upper left corners, and search your artist name.
• Select “Connect Via Distributor”, and link to your account.
• Done!

Once the verification is complete, which may take a few days, you’ll receive confirmation via email.

After you’ve successfully claimed your profile, updating it is simple. Through the Amazon Music for Artists app, you can edit your artist image, update your bio, add important details about your career, and link to your social media accounts to engage with fans more effectively. Additionally, you can access insights into your streaming data, listener demographics, and trends, allowing you to monitor your performance on Amazon Music.

Beatport

To claim your profile on Beatport, first head over to https://www.beatport.com and sign in to Manage My Beatport to handle your music artist profile. Next, look for the three-line menu icon at the top left corner, scroll down to ‘Artist/Promoter’, and select ‘Artists’. Now, click ‘Claim Your Artist Profile’. Search and select your artist name, provide all the details it asks for, then submit your request to finalize the process!

Once the form is filled out, submit it and wait for Beatport to review and approve your request. This process can take several days to a few weeks, so be patient! Once your profile is approved, you can upload a new profile image and update your bio however you like.

(Just keep in mind, all images must be 590×404 or larger, scaled accordingly up to 3000×2054.)

Spotify for Artists

If you don’t already have a Spotify for Artists account, you’ll need to create one or log in with an existing Spotify account. Once signed in, all you have to do is click “Get Access” and search for your artist profile using your artist name or a link to your music on Spotify. If your music is already on Spotify, your artist profile should appear with no problem. Next, you’ll need to verify your identity, which you can do by either by linking to social media accounts or providing information to confirm your connection to the artist. After submitting your claim, Spotify will review the request, which typically takes a few days. Once approved, they’ll send you an email letting you know.

Once your claim is approved, you can update your profile by logging into the Spotify for Artists dashboard. Here, you can upload a profile picture (recommended resolution is 2660 x 1140 pixels), write or update your bio, add social media links, and highlight specific songs, albums, or playlists using the Artist’s Pick feature. Not only that, but you can also add tour dates and merch, helping your fans stay up to date for when you’re in their city and get merch right where they already listen to your music.
