How to Co-Release a Song with DistroKid

[@calmzy]

They should really make this a real feature instead of another money grab

[@Obeyreilly]

for those who don't see option to add another artist/orband just enter the first artist name and a comma after the name it wil give you option

[@beatsbyjustinphillips]

Bro if you need a Kidney ever in your life. Hmu I got you. Just saved me lmao

[@Obeyreilly]

@@beatsbyjustinphillips actually i do what's your information ? :)

[@yogeshjawlekar1704]

But brother after putting coma it only shows coma detected and it gives two options band or collaboration no option to add other artists name

[@yogeshjawlekar1704]

Plz help

[@arisparrein986]

I love you

[@Kashaga]

You’re the goat for posting this man. I couldn’t find it anywhere until you told me how. You’re gonna save a lot of people trouble! 👏🏼

[@MMXVII]

My brother 🧡 Always helping when I can!

[@originalkingspade0324]

for album thats already live ..can we still edit it and add the 2nd artist?

[@jacobdyer455]

Ayy you released this as soon as I needed it, appreciate you

[@MMXVII]

Lets gooo! Appreciate you watching :)

[@LouWilliams-o5v]

i kid you not kid you are doing better than the entire u.s economy keep going

[@Augnos]

Dude thank you so much for this! I've been trying to figure out how to set up a remix as a "collaboration" and the "primary artist" wasn't an option, because it was a single. Distrokid completely hides the fact that just adding multiple artist names can automatically set it up as a collaboration.

[@F1oridadrip]

wait wym adding multiple artists names?

[@KJAY07MUSIC]

so even with the fist plan i can add any collaboration without having to add every artist as a feat profile ?

[@teesupreme1]

how do you make someone the primary artist

[@Baba-bi2fs]

Can I co-release an album with a friend who has a SEPERATE DistroKid account?

[@RealNonoB]

I have the same question

[@landenbeat]

I cant figure out how to do it either

[@itsMickyLee]

Shit costs extra

[@Morry_Trees]

Frl I'm also tryna figure the same shii

[@michatroschka]

its a bit silly that you have to use an extra artist slot tbh. i dont know weather its intentional so you upgrade or its actually harder to execute but i doubt it

[@prodmarcogoat]

Damn tysm for the info vro!, didn't even know that.

[@MMXVII]

I gotchu !! 🧡

[@Plugg33nb]

Can you do this after the song has been released ??

[@Superstarnarley]

More people should like this video great work bro 💪🏾⭐️💯

[@martinezofficialmusic]

is there a way to edit this feature after you already released?

[@noah_tonin]

bro your videos are so helpful! i love them, thank you

[@FoolProofStudios]

Hey! Very useful video. One question, how can I release a song as a feature, not a co-release, as you mentioned when it's shown on the "Appears on" section of the other artist? And does a feature still takes up an artist slot? Or is it just with the co-release? Thanks!

[@KrazhJaydoKrazh]

when u add the track it asks u if there’s a ft

[@pabloondabeat]

What if the track we want to put on spotify (my friends and mine, we want to co-realese) is both our first song and we dont have spotify url?

[@shiba.southbxl]

I'm coreleasing a track but t doesn't show up in my "upcoming" page and i can't pitch it. Maybe it's because I've already pitched another track that's coming out after it ?

[@Nafas-e3h]

We made the mistake that you showed in the beginning by clicking “feature artist”. Is it still possible to edit this into a collab after the song already released

[@sudarshanshine4771]

I added a new artist who doesn’t have a Distrokid account. I created a profile for him as a primary artist mentioned in the video. The track is released but I am not able to claim the new artist account as it’s not reflecting in my Distrokid. What do I do? Please I need this to be addressed asap.

[@ManjeetK01]

I was really frustrated cuz i used to add people on the feat. Option and it won't go on their account...Thank you tons man 🖤

[@freddiea.1502]

same problem im having can you tell me how you find it

[@zwenz365]

What if your singular artist's name has the "&" symbol? Like, I want to do a co-release, but my group name is "Zach&Shiva", so it comes up as "Zach" & "Shiva" & "*insert artist*". How do I make it so it does not do this?? Thanks in advance

[@hagneya]

is it possible to do already after you've released it?

[@difrntjam7733]

Hello good day, this is a very explanatory video. I have a question I think maybe you can help me answer. So I recently did a collaboration post in may just as you explained. Now, I want to upload a new song that I'm set to release but the artist name is refusing to change from the the collaboration one I used the last time. How can I rectify this problem? Because on this new song, I didn't feature anybody

[@TrippyMoksh]

Did you find solution to this?

[@davidlampmanmusic]

I have the musician plus plan, and have nothing to click beneath Artist/bandname which says, "Add new artists name" in blue.

[@MONKEYMEMES604]

PLEASE HELP!! i bought the label plan and a don't have the option of adding another artist like wtf

[@prod.scenicbeatz]

i have the same problem, did you figure out?

[@prod.scenicbeatz]

actually found a solution rn, just type your name & feature artists name

[@stephanhalbinger9965]

Hi Man! Awesome Content 🤙🏻 i'm new to distokid and want to release the first time as a co-release.. this means, there are no two accounts to choose from in the bandname place. If i use "name, name" as my first release ever, i only get one spotify account access, cause it is seen as one artist in distrokid now and i only have one artist spot left... do i have to release a song with one artist at a time, so the two artist are registered separate from each other, and then i'm able to use it as a colab ? i'm really totally lost.. :D thanks for your quick answer! Cheers

[@AndySharif]

will a song released like this appeare in both artists audiences release radar?

[@BewbathanMuffingss]

how do you add more artist names? it only tells me to straight up get the label subscription plan.

[@Fedbo]

thanks for the video:) I'm currently on the musicians' plus plan and plan to have 2 more slots, how much did you pay to uppgrade? I can't find this info, unless I would need to uppgrade. to the label plan for 80$ which seems like an overkill if I want just one extra artist

[@TrippyMoksh]

Did you find an answer??? Please help me too if you did😭

[@_ommaaarrrr]

Hey thanks for the info! 🙏🏽 By any chance would you know if you can still “co-release” after the song has gone live?

[@GRAFIVERSACE]

How can I add a collaborative single to an album afterwards? I always have problems with the metadata, when entering the same artists (entered on the single as one artist name "artist 1 x artist 2 x artist 3") as primary artists then.. Maybe someone can help or you can make another video for this topic?

[@SauceKingg]

So can you do this with the regular basic plan? Or you need to pay extra to add more artists

[@YungPriest]

You got to add an extra artist slot

[@nyukechen]

can you co release only one song within an album.

[@hatdownlowofficial]

I pay for the account for up to 5 artists add new artist does not appear under my name in the artist/band name section

[@DouskiMusic]

This doesnt work anymore , when i go to my artists it opens a dropbox for me to select my artist

[@LilSAHY]

Same

[@joeysbeatss]

do both artists have to release it on both their distrokids or only one is enough?

[@xSnowyProd]

If i make a split in distro with another artist will it show up as 2 artists on the track in spotify?

[@Marc-jx2pb]

Hey can you still do this after you already released. Fucked it up and only added the featured artist without account sharing

[@773_Ghost]

damn gang, been looking for something like this, big helpful💪🏼🖤

[@MMXVII]

🧡🧡🧡

[@acousticsessionsla]

HELP! - does anyone know a decent distributor that does not charge for collaborations?

[@mi3somn]

can somebody tell me what to do? I chose the 2 artist bundle on distrokid and planned to upload 2 tracks with me as the main artist and 2 people collabing, but i didn t mention them as features because i thought they did more than that. I ve aborted the singles but distrokid wants me to pay for managing the solo versions of me and the guy i share the distrokid account with. What can I do next? I want to remove the artists that appear right now

[@ilygiddy]

I made a song with some random guy and he dropped the song months later and i don’t like it anymore but it shows up on my discography. How do i remove it from my discography. Please answer

[@DOTSUN.]

Do I have to split the earning even though I did a co-release? or co-releasing automatically does the split?

[@garvjaisalverma9483]

Hello sir thank you so much for making this video I took plan of 35 dollar per year but I can't see the add artist button it's not there what should I do

[@iamKelvinJ]

Does this only work if you release the song as a single? What if you want to co release one song from an album?

[@MMXVII]

Seems like Distrokid updates their UI a little bit every so often, but now when uploading, you can click "Add featured artist to title" and then it gives you a spot to input the artist on the song. If you choose "Primary Artist" in the drop down beside it, it will release as a co-release regardless of that song being on an album or single!

[@iamKelvinJ]

@@MMXVII I just did it with a friend and it only worked on a single. I released the album first and it didn’t show on his end under his Spotify for artist. Then I released it as a single and the single appeared under his Spotify for artist account.

[@kurt_is]

*Yo I got a tutorial challenge for you..* Direct, shoot, and edit a music video - entirely on your phone. Given it’s a challenge, it may make creative experimentation much more enjoyable. And I do want to learn since it seems like networking in the Bay Area is almost impossible, unless I cap by sounding like everybody else. Even if I have money.

[@MMXVII]

I love this idea! I tried something similar before but never actually finished the video, but I will try again for sure. I might even do it this month cause I am visiting Kashaga for a week so we could shoot a video for Mask 🧡

[@kurt_is]

[@neverneel]

I made a collab track with someone and he made a co-release. I want to remove it from my profile but at the same time I wanna stay in it as just a featuring artist. How can I do it??

[@rekayrovera]

Sup big bro, thanks for listening to my song on the stream you had this week🙏. Is it possible you could make a tutorial on how to move songs you uploaded from one distributor to Distrokid?

[@MMXVII]

Thanks for your support fam!! I can definitely do that 🧡

[@SalemStakes]

I dont have the box do I just put my name & theirs

[@taqitheartist]

What if the song is already uploaded can you add a co creator

[@HKmusics]

I've Musician plus plan. When i try to co release the song all my previous earings & withdrawal got disappeared and shows zero !!!! Why this is happening and whats the solution. Please help

[@MMXVII]

This is not something I can help with. I would contact DK here and see what they say : support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[@HKmusics]

@@MMXVII i've tried this too ! There is no option related to my problem and also now we're not even able to communicate via Mail.

[@MMXVII]

@@HKmusics I'm pretty certain you can select through any of the options until it lets you fill out a subject and paragraph. You don't have to find the EXACT issue in the drop down menus.

[@TrippyMoksh]

Very helpful information bro but how much does it cost to add 1 slot?

[@GabbySimoneMusic]

thanks so much! so mine is a collab ep. so can we do this with each song and then the ep as a whole as a co release?

[@AnitaRojo-t2g]

How can I do this with an EP? There are three different collaborations but it only asked for my artist name once and I can just add more artists after that. If I put the name in the format you’re showing it has my artist name displayed twice. The EP has already been released to so I’m hoping I’m able to edit the release

[@xlilxsabb]

i cannot appreciate you enough ✌🏼

[@MMXVII]

🧡

[@JSkyjsky]

What if one of the artist your listing as a collaborator is new and has no profiles ? In my case the artist name doesn’t exist but they only give options to put existing Spotify and apple links or let them decide. I put let them decide ??

[@MMXVII]

Yes, choose let them decide. Afterwards, reach out to [e-mail] and let them know the ISRC code of your song and that you need (insert artist) to have a new profile made, just to be safe. Once created, the other artist can claim their Spotify profile on Spotify for Artists. Hope that helps!!

[@pureboysorganics]

You The Goat 🐐 for this one 2017

[@thaxokid2968]

Im trynna have the upload say "Song title (WITH artist)" i stead of ft. Artist

[@isplunky]

Can someone pls answer this question. If im tryna drop a song with another artist and I do a collaboration on Apple Music will it say “my name & other artist” ??

[@GuerreroDeCristo]

How about if you releasing a album ?

[@standyofficial]

Is it possible with Music+ to add 3 artists or do you need the highest category? thx

[@Icewrld]

Do the streams count = the same on both profile. So if I listen on yours and than another do they both count the same amount of streams or is it separate to who views on what Profile.

[@MMXVII]

Yea it's all the same, the best part is you share monthly listeners from that song too. So if 10 people find and listen to the song on my profile, the other artist would also get the 10 monthly listeners added.

[@freddiea.1502]

question....I already released the song, how can I fix it? and make it appread on all artist page

[@MMXVII]

Try reaching out via email to [e-mail] and ask. If the song is already released, I am not sure you can change it to a corelease, but if it is scheduled, I believe they can make a change !!

[@yuzzelnw7540]

if the song is already released i cant do it ??

[@Josceppi]

im not seeing it on distrokid rn.. Is this function still available?

[@dasistdochalban]

so for me to co-release a song with someone I need the Musician Plus subscription ?

[@MMXVII]

Correct, you need a way to have multiple artist slots so musicians plus and label plans both allow that.

[@luisparma3008]

I linked in the other artists account but it still didn’t link them in. Do they have to do something on their side?

[@yf5193]

Hey man, i already dropped a somg with a friend and i’m the feature. This means i won’t get any monthly listeners and a stream count. Can i still change this into a collaborator even though the project already dropped.

[@aamirhasnanic]

Do i have to pay yearly charges for adding names in the co release Just like content id n store maximiser

[@milesisbae1983]

Will both artists have the power to delete the release?

[@kidjet]

It’s harder to work for albums

[@tcmseanieb]

bro lmk why i look up "how to setup a co release on spotify" and the HOMIE POPS UP?!?!?!?!?! LOVE YOU BROOO! ty for the useful vid!

[@topcover8089]

I use musician plus plan so when I collaborate with another artists and make them primary artists does that cost me more money and how much for an collaborate song ??

[@MMXVII]

Like I said you get 2 "artists" defaulted on that plan. Meaning you can release music under 2 profiles total before you have to pay extra. I am not sure how much it costs per artist. I'm pretty sure you will have to upgrade to their highest tier plan before paying for individual artist plans.

[@beatzzbyluc]

whats going on guys its mmxivii her

[@modet0beats700]

Ayo Luc This...

[@dorischiotis]

Hi, great video really helpful. I just want to ask about the following issue. Pleaseeee anyone who knows help 🙏🙏🙏 I am about to co-release a song. I am already in distrokid and I've got musicians plan so I will do the same as the video (add my name and the other artists' name which he doesn't have distrokid or profile on platforms). What concerns me is that the other artist will have to pay and create a new distrokid account via my account ? And if not, how will he claim his platform profiles? How can he upload a song /album in the future by his own? If he cannot manage his own account on distrokid then shall he make his own distrokid account and then co release our song ?

[@quesobobbie]

Is the person dropping the only one who has to add an artists or will both artists have to?

[@WilliamCata]

Does the royalties automatically split if the collaborator uses another distributor or do I have to split that in teams and add their email also?

[@MMXVII]

When you add them as a split and they don't use Distrokid, they get an email to sign up for $10/y, but their account is limited to just accepting royalties.

[@TheOPERice]

Thanks bro

[@karmaexoo]

Is it a one time payment to get another slot?

[@melodicmanthan]

Hello bro really liked the information u gave but i have one query actually i did a collab song with one artist and he uploaded a song on Spotify with my name but I got my distrokid verified account after the release so i wanted that song to be seen in my profile too but i dont know how to make it happen please do let me know if u have anything regarding this

[@originalkingspade0324]

same problem here..hope dem.can help us

[@dreajohnson2068]

Hey there great video! Just had a quick question I release the song and need to add someone to the release. Is there any way that I can go in and edit the release or do I have to re-release the whole song again?

[@MMXVII]

You can reach out to [e-mail] and they should be able to swap it for you !!

[@danielmuriithi2298]

This is a nice video. I have a problem though, when I did this and created a collaboration between me and other artist for co release (Yes I have the second distrokid payment plan so I could do this) what happened was that it created a new artist profile entirely of me and my respective collaborator, instead of posting the song on each of our individual pages respectively like it should...... Anyone got any tips on how to recrify this situation?

[@squeezyjtf]

u ever figure this out?

[@dimone5838]

So if you write: "Arist1 & Artist2" catches an artist slot?

[@MMXVII]

Correct

[@loganburns4181]

What if I already have both the artists names on the same profile?

[@rayespinozamatos]

How’d you get those free extra Artist slots on a musician plus plan?

[@MMXVII]

I'm sponsored by DK so they gave me some extras for free

[@rayespinozamatos]

@@MMXVII I’ma try and do the same! Lol

[@kmrnxo]

I did this with 4 artists and i dont think you can put more than 3 so thats a slot down the drain for me

[@goldietredd]

Are you able to do this after the song has been released? Or maybe set it to where it shows up on featured artist Spotify pages etc

[@aaronmclaughlin307]

I'm wondering the same thing! Ever get an answer?

[@victisdt]

THANK YOU!!!

[@baguiojadechannel9149]

i witching here sir..thank you..

[@MahmoudNader]

Sadly It's chargeable cuz it takes one artist slot

[@shibaloo8126]

i don't have the "add artist name" button, how do i do ?

[@JadesOfficial]

me either ugh

[@I-Blade]

Great video man. These days it says change instead of add new artist. Or maybe it's coz of the plan I had. I hope it's still the same thing though and it doesn't change my artist name
