[@JaceyFlames]

It’s a platform that sends your music to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon music, etc. A distributor platform like; DistroKid, UnitedMasters, TuneCore, CDBaby, etc.

[@greggory3418]

Hello, you partially answered this question but I was wondering what the pros and cons are for using your personal Apple ID for this, I don’t really want to make an entirely NEW ID for this because I think it will make things more complicated but my music email is separate from my personal Apple ID so what should I do? Does it make a difference?

[@JaceyFlames]

You can use an Apple ID that you already have for listening to music or one that you have already had. I would actually recommend people use one that they already have for distributing their music instead of making a new one for that reason of not having any confusion.

[@michaeldaddono2115]

Hi I have just did what you said and I don’t have an account I don’t know what to do my song is supposed to be out in 2 days

Right after your song releases, then you will have your profile that was created by your distributor. Then you claim it.

[@celoboyofficial]

Thanks this really helped 🙏 but my question is that I used a different name to release a song two years ago and now I’m using a different stage name if I should request artist with my old song will I still be using the old stage name or my new name as it is on the iCloud?

[@JaceyFlames]

Unfortunately it will be your old stage name on Apple Music since you released it under that name two years ago, I would claim a new profile with your new stage name and then just upload it again on your new profile. That way you can get more plays, unless you want to then delete the old profile under your previous stage name.

I'm a little bit confused about getting an Artist Access does it cost something or how does it work?

[@JaceyFlames]

It just depends on the distributor that you sign up to. Most of them charge a yearly/monthly membership or a per upload fee. After you sign up to a distributor, then you upload your music and set it for a release date. The distributor will then distribute your music on the date that you chose and create the profiles for you. You then claim them and there you go.

[@OfficialKingLuck510]

I'm having trouble setting up my page. I have an Apple ID already. I've never released any music. I did sign up through DistroKid and I'm ready to release my first single(in process as we speak)When I go to request access to my name or song I don't pop up anywhere. Would I have to create another Apple ID and create a new page? I'm not having any luck or understanding on how to create one from the Apple ID I already have.

[@JaceyFlames]

That’s because since it’s your first song that you are releasing, the distributor will create your profiles for you. Then you will go and claim it.

It depends on which distributor you plan on using. Some distributors accept MP3’s and WAV files as the audio you can upload to use their service. I highly recommend using DistroKid because they are easier to work with and provide more features.

[@magnivore1603]

If you already have an Apple ID for personal use, would you just use that for the artist profile or would it be better to create a separate music dedicated Apple ID? Also, how do you go about creating a second artist profile under the same account? For example, John Smith releases pop music but he also wants to release copyright-free albums under FreeMusic by John Smith? Thank you

[@JaceyFlames]

You can use any Apple ID that you prefer, it’s really just your preference as long as you remember it. And as far as the 2nd profile under the same account, unfortunately you cannot you would have to release it under the same account or just make a separate account if you want to release music under a different profile. I would highly recommend just releasing the music under the same account (especially if you are using the same artist name) instead of creating a different one because your fans will get confused.

It’s the same process like the video but you have to create an Apple ID first and then your profile. Also, download the app on your phone to make changes as you need to because the app is more efficient for Apple Music. Keep in mind too that you’re going to have to claim your profile on Apple Music before you use a distribution service to release your music otherwise you will have 2 profiles after your first release.

@@JaceyFlames oh, i don’t think i’ve done it rights i have apple Id but i didn’t claim a profile before i uploaded to my distrobuter. basically i have the uri link but when i put it in my account comes up but because there is no song released it won’t let me go forward to the next stage i’m super confused with this process man! any advice would mean alot !

Hey so me and an artist have the same name on apple music and the song i dropped went to their profile, how do I get that removed as well as have my own artist profile

[@JaceyFlames]

You’re going to need to contact Apple Music support to tell them that your song is on the wrong profile and you want it on your profile. Here’s the link: artists.apple.com/support/ The distributor you uploaded your song on should’ve created this profile for you (I.e. DistroKid, TuneCore, CDBaby, etc.) Also, I would recommend changing your name or adding something more original to it like spelling it different to avoid this form happening again.

[@ademoladottie9930]

hi i dont have any song or a profile,how can i create a new one?

[@JaceyFlames]

Sign up to a distributor like DistroKid and upload a song, once the song is released they will create the profile for you and you just claim it. Here’s a discount code for DistroKid for you below 👇🏼 distrokid.com/vip/seven/1207289

Hey jacey, is it possible to create an artist profile before releasing my music? Just looking to make sure my profile looks good before my album release. Thanks !!

Hey Kyle, no it isn’t because distributors are the ones that create your profile IF you have never released any music before on such mainstreaming platforms like; Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon music, Tidal, etc.

How would i go about changing my old artist name to my new one on apple music? I tried reaching out to distrokid about it but they werent much help. Im having the same issue on YT Music as well somehow

[@JaceyFlames]

Do you have a different name on DistroKid that you initially released the song under for all platforms?

[@oraagamimusic]

@Jacey Flames yeah I took it down from all stores and released it under my new name. But only apple music and youtube music are releasing it under my old artist name it seems

[@JaceyFlames]

When did you set the release date for and how long did you give it for the song(s) to release?

[@oraagamimusic]

@Jacey Flames I think it was set to release like a few days later (a little after I changed my artist name).

[@JaceyFlames]

Typically, I always recommend when releasing a song that you give it at least 3-4 weeks for it to release first and then you can remove your song and try again. Apple Music may be lagging from the release and haven’t been able to update it due to the short time frame. Same with YT music. I would email Apple Music’s support at: artists.apple.com/support/ And YT Music’s as well at: support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9595049?hl=en

How can I make an artist profile for Apple Music if I haven’t uploaded any music on there ? I want to be able to make my artist profile and then upload my music there

[@JaceyFlames]

If you haven’t released any music before on Apple Music, then you will have to first choose a distributor and then upload your music through there and it will create the profile for you after your 1st release. Once that is done, then you need to claim your profile.

[@Yessir_shine]

Ayo I need help so when I do the thing it says find an artist and i searched up one. The thing I don’t get is it asks for the relationship with the artist which I’m wondering why it does that

Because it wants to know if you are the artist or if it’s your manager/publicist/record executive or anyone close to it. Did you sign up to a distributor yet?

I would suggest spelling it different or adding something to your name to make it unique. Plus, you don’t want ppl to have trouble finding you when searching.

[@BaltimoreCrew]

How do you do this if you got no songs out yet?

[@JaceyFlames]

You have to release music first through a distributor and then you can claim it. You have to have music out first. This video was mainly for ppl who just want to release their music JUST on Apple Music but after they have music out.

[@xibladekidd]

i havent release a song through distrokid, is that why my name doesnt pop up when i look it up?

[@JaceyFlames]

Correct. You have to pick a distributor to release your music first for you and then your name will pop up. You can create an artist profile first through Apple Music or Spotify, etc. first but if you have no music released yet, the platform may not recognize your profile yet. If you have already created an artist profile first without releasing any music you can always claim your profile after you release your music.
