Verify my profile in DSP's

Verify my profile in DSP's

Here we'll inform you how to verify your profile in the main channels:

Apple Music

Spotify

Amazon

Deezer

Apple Music

To claim a profile in Apple Music for Artists you have to do it through https://artists.apple.com/.

Any artist can log in with his Apple ID and fill out a form in which they will be asked to write the profile name they wish to claim, to select the albums associated with that profile, and to point their role in the project (artist, manager or label manager) as well.  

Apple Music will also ask to fill in the contact information as well as with the label’s / distributor’s and the manager’s and to link it at least, with one of the artists' verified profiles on Facebook or Twitter. Apple Music for Artists will verify all the information and the identity before giving access to the platform.

 

Spotify

To get your Spotify Artist Profile verified and to manage it yourself, you’ll need to request access to Spotify For Artists. Once you’ve done that, you’ll get the blue check on your artist profile (the hallmark of Spotify-recognized profiles).

To request access to Spotify for Artists just fill out this form by following the steps below:

  1. Indicate whether you have a Spotify user account (you must have one to manage an artist profile on the platform).
  2. Log in with your user account.
  3. Indicate your role (artist, manager, label, etc.), your name, the Spotify user account you want to associate with the profile, and an email to send the notifications.
  4. Indicate the name of the artist or the band whose profile you want to claim and verify.
  5. Lastly, verify the Twitter account of the artist or the band and provide links to the website or social networking profiles.

Spotify will check the information and then the blue checkmark will be added to your profile. This is what indicates that you are a verified artist by Spotify.

Then, Spotify For Artists will allow you to change your profile and background pictures whenever you want, create playlists, and check stats as to how, how much, and where your songs are being listened to or who are your listeners, among many other interesting data. 

Moreover, you’ll be able to synchronize your profile with Songkick to show your concert dates at your profile or with Merchbar to sell your merchandising with Spotify.

You will find all the necessary information to claim your artist profile at: artists.spotify.com.

If you don't get any reply from Spotify after a month, you have to contact directly with the channel through: https://artists.spotify.com/contact.

 

Amazon

First of all, head to the Apple App or Google Play Store and install the Amazon Music for Artists app. Once the app is open, you will be directed to sign in using an Amazon retail account. If you do not have an Amazon retail account, you will need to create one in order to continue going through the sign-up and artist claim flow

To add an artist to your account:

  1. Click on the “Claim An Artist” button at the bottom of the search screen. Search and select the artist you represent.

  2. Press “Take Me There”: Verify your relationship with this artist by providing to Amazon your role and company information. Authenticating with your artist’s social media accounts helps them to expedite the approval process.

  3. Press “Submit“ when all information has been completed. Once the claims have been verified/approved on our end, you will receive an email confirmation letting you know access to the artist has been enabled within your account.

 

Deezer

Deezer Backstage allows artists, labels, and managers to update their artist pages with profile pictures, biography, and links to social media or websites, as well as access their analytics.
