I gotta say, the process is ridiculous as it can get. Nothing simple about it. Every path is a dead end.

Thanks yo

[@Music_JakeC]

yooo, this is a really helpful vid! One question, I went to the KZbin official artist channel section in DistroKid and there wasn't the drop-down list of artists to choose from. It currently says, "To get started, upload some music to KZbin." I uploaded my music to DistroKid last night. I found the topic channel with the music on KZbin today. How can I fix this? (sorry about the long comment)

[@igobyneq]

contact your distributor and tell them you're trying to get access to your topic channel

[@YamiMammi]

Nice!

[@igobyneq]

Thanks!

[@ellefray]

Big thanks! it really helped!

[@OnlyMarqblu]

This info was great. I filled out a form through my distributor for a OAC. I’m actually seeing changes on my channel.

[@igobyneq]

That’s great

[@Riz52]

Where did you fill out the form at because I’m trying to do the same thing u did

[@JonCampling]

amazing vid you ROCK!! unexpectedly released my 1st song last Friday via DK now in a world of pain navigating ALL THIS HAHAHA. x

[@LilPdai]

I have music distributed but I don’t see the list of artists selection. Is there another way to do it?

[@MCAROMUSIC]

Hi, I followed all the steps, but i do not see the music note on my page for Artist verification, any idea why? thanks

[@NoudvanHarskamp]

Thanks! Do you also have knowlegde about covers? As far as I know you are not able to make a YT content ID with covers throughout your distributor. But is it possible to make claims to the companies you mentioned in your video on the master audio recording part? I see a consultantcy session is 100$ on your website. But how long does it take and do you have knowlegde about covers as well?

[@ikreate4u]

Hi.Thank you for this important information. I was wondering if you can have your music linked from multiple distributors to the same KZbin channel. I ask this because I have distributed my music through Repost (now SoundCloud for Artists) but am about to start using Landr or Tunecore for my new releases. I was under a different artist name and had SoundCloud transfer that to my new name already. I wasn’t planning to move those older songs to Landr because I still like using my SoundCloud for my songwriting promotion and figured to just leave them there despite the 20% they take of streams. I am still newbie so not much coming in anyway. But my new music is a different story. I want this to be set up right from the start before releasing anything else. You input is greatly appreciated. 🙏🏾✨

[@igobyneq]

No. In my experience you can’t

[@raulmuta]

Yo! Thank you for the awesome content, but what is that tool that seems like its giving you constant analytrics on anything you see on youtube? Put us on game 😭😭

[@igobyneq]

its called vidiq, i have info about it in my book

[@mxke-ws3hz]

hey so I have only one song distributed currently (by Distrokid) but when I search the song it comes up as a Topic on youtube. Is this normal for those who still don't have a minimum of three uploads?

[@igobyneq]

yes this is normal. this means you do not have access to your artists channel

[@triandosmorris6213]

I’ve tried with distro and it has been unavailable for while for me to merge my Artist account

[@igobyneq]

it's unavailable because distributor are trying for force artist to sign up for youtube revenue collection. check out my latest uploaded video.

[@igobyneq]

They opened it up. Go apply for a artist channel

[@TylerTheCreator.ょ]

Type shiiii...

[@justbluemartin9346]

i tried to do this, but the youtube services directory for music partners isn't even working, so what do i do now?

[@_t_l_o_v_e_]

What if you already released these songs before creating a youtube channel...will those releases move over to my channel?

[@igobyneq]

Once you claim you KZbin artist channel all your songs will transfer over

[@suitesvault]

hey, thanks so much for this video! I am pretty new to all this stuff, but claiming my other profiles was super easy. youtube and distrokid are giving me a hard time though. I went to the special access tab and tried to link my youtube account, and it was telling me, release music first, despite the fact I have released about 4 albums/eps. does youtube just need time to update or something?

[@ابوساهر-ذ2ك]

Is your problem solved? Tell me.

[@suitesvault]

@@ابوساهر-ذ2ك no its not

[@nlayoungchyld]

can you make another i searched this up because distrokid not working at the moment

[@joshuazuckermann]

It's still not working on Distrokid. Their website says, "KZbin is unable to process Official Artist Channel requests at this time. As soon as they're ready to process them again you can do that here. Please check back shortly." Did you ever find a solutions to creating a KZbin Official Artist Channel?

[@scottisnowhere]

[@alien-hs1zn]

So do you have to already have content on your main KZbin music account for this to work I’m not talking about the music topics I’m trying to get my music topics merge to my main

[@SinzzXXLofficial]

Why does TuneCore say that my content is copyright after I distribute it?I already have on my KZbin with the video ,but get hit with a copyright

[@igobyneq]

There could be several reasons, Probably because you used a beat that someone else has

[@SinzzXXLofficial]

@@igobyneq no but this was after I distribute through TuneCore,I already had it uploaded to KZbin while my channel is monitized,

[@K.Psomiadis]

And here are two big questions ?? If you link your topic artist channel via Distrokid will the views and the subscribers go with it ?? The second question is if you for any reason quit Distrokid and don't go to another Distributer will the songs still remain on your artist channel or they get deleted ??

[@igobyneq]

yes views and subs all join 1 channel. if you continue you pay you yearly fee distrokid will keep your songs live

[@SNL-Pezzy]

goodies is not there for me wht plan do you have

[@classyboombap]

But what if its a featuring song, and that distributor made a ghost account on my name? How can i fix that to my own profile

[@igobyneq]

Reach out to your label or manager to help get you right

[@OFFICIAL.JOEY_BEATZ]

hey quick question by chance are you from Baltimore area? cuz u have a Baltimore accent

[@cheerzmateo]

I released two albums under united masters. Since I don't have 1000 subs yet, I was wondering if I could do my next release under distrokid and use the link to my topic page so they can put it on the same youtube channel. Maybe then I could claim my youtube page?

[@igobyneq]

You can release with distrokid

[@Godschosen731-jo6ch]

So do i have to wait after i click the link KZbin channel option?
