[@akinitos3195]

Why do you have to use a distributor? That’s so frustrating. I just want to upload my music, I shouldn’t have to go through all the distribution stuff. Why can’t I just upload a song and boom it’s there. Also, you should be able to make an artist account without letting some company do it. This seems so wrong. Great video I’m not complaining about that, I’m just saying there’s no reason for Spotify to make it so difficult

[@JaceyFlames]

The distributor doesn’t have has much control as a record label and tbh, I’d rather choose that over being signed. Trust me, DistroKid isn’t bad and they usually do a good job at responding to any questions and also creating the profile for you. It’s also not Spotify doing this, it’s the industry in general.

Can you upload a song through distributor for someone else too? For ex. i wrote a song for an artist and i want to upload it because of all the rights as a songwriter. And will the artist be able to manage Spotify for artists alone? Great info on the channel!

[@JaceyFlames]

Yes you can, but it will have to be under your profile and I would just make sure that you give the proper name for the other artist when uploading it as well. That artist will need to have their own artist profile though so you can reference their name properly. Just make sure on the “credits” section that you say that you own 100% of the profits. Oh and thank you! I will continue to make more videos like these 🙏🏼

[@JaceyFlames]

If you want your music on the mainstreaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify & Amazon music then UnitedMasters & RouteNote are the best free ones, but if you only want your music on just 1 platform then you can always just upload your music to SoundCloud or KZbin but do keep in mind that those are not distributors.

[@Yarndnb]

Say if your first release is being uploaded by a record label and not a distributor is it best for the label to upload your track first and then claim your profile? Or should you create your profile first and then claim?

[@JaceyFlames]

That depends on your contract and what you and label have worked out. If they are taking part of your publishing or distribution, then they would naturally take care of that but if you didn’t work that part out with your label then you would do both.

[@JaceyFlames]

If you have the same name as someone else on Spotify, it may cause your music to show up under that other person’s profile after you release a song, so plz be careful and like i always recommend to artists; make sure your name is unique enough to stand out so that it is easy for fans to find you AND so that your music doesn’t get jumbled up into someone else’s profile.

I’ve uploaded a song on DistroKid and you’ve said it would create my Spotify artist account since it does that, how do I find my account?

[@JaceyFlames]

The day of or sometime so the day after it will create the account for you & as soon as you look for it, it should come up & then you claim it. Watch the video I have on how to claim it after your song comes out.

Any way I can upload my music to Spotify for free without using a distributor

[@JaceyFlames]

No, you always have to use a distributor.

[@anastasiasommer]

So I have a qustion. If I want to do both music and podcast on the same Spotify profile, is that possible?

[@JaceyFlames]

No, because releasing a podcast episode would require a different type of profile that music distribution platforms don’t provide when creating a profile for an artist.

[@T.P915]

does your spotify artist account email have to be the same one as your distrokid account for it to sync up?

[@JaceyFlames]

No, you can use a different one as well. You don’t have to use your personal account for your artist account.

ive always wanted to make my own songs but ive never knew how

[@JaceyFlames]

Just get a distributor and release a song through there and you’re good 👍🏼

[@Ok-jh7vt]

What's the difference or uploading my music to Spotify more than use a distributor to upload it on spotify for me

[@JaceyFlames]

You have to use a distributor IF you have never released music before on any mainstreaming platform. As far as which distributors to use, I would advise using DistroKid to release music.

[@fonysombu1155]

Thank you so much ❤

[@CALMULMusic]

When I claim an artist account, can I change the name of the artist account? And how do I find myself on there?

[@JaceyFlames]

Yes, but it all depends on the distribution service that you use. That’s where you would change it on.

When was your song set to release through UnitedMasters?

[@mansibhardwaj25]

Hi, thanks for making this video. But i have some more queries- 1. I’ve accidentally deleted my user account from which i was able to access my artist account. Now i’ve created a new user account , but still don’t know how to get the access of my artist account, please help me if you can in this one. 2. When somebody search my name, with my artist account , my user account also shows. But i just want them to see and follow my artist account only. How is it possible??

[@JaceyFlames]

Hi Mansi, 1. Do you try claiming your artist profile on Spotify yet for your new user account? 2. You would need to change your username on the user account to something else and your artist account to just your artist name. Did you try this yet as well?

[@mansibhardwaj25]

@@JaceyFlames I've tried the first one, but since my artist account was linked with my previous id, so now I can't get the access from my new id. I tried to list my new id as a team member too, but for that also I need to have my previous account to grant the access.. :( And I will definitely do the second one, once I sort the first thing out..

[@JaceyFlames]

@@mansibhardwaj25 I would contact Spotify support so that they can revive your old account. They should be able to do that since your artist account is linked to that account. Also, make sure you leave your number at the end of your message so they can contact you. Here’s the link: artists.spotify.com/contact

[@mansibhardwaj25]

[@rhinotuber6320]

yoo, i have a question. I have released a song to united masters and it will be released on the 28th. I haven't released the song on to any account and just left that section blank. Do i just let united masters make an artist account for me with that song or is there something i'm missing? Thanks.

[@JaceyFlames]

Yes. IF you have never released any music on any mainstreaming platform like; Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. then UnitedMasters will create the profiles for you and you can just claim them after they are created and your song is released.

[@Evertide]

I really wish there was some free distributors because I have no money I haven't looked into all of them just yet but if I do I'll update this comment

No. Just sign up to a distributor and set your song for a release date. Once it releases, then you claim your profile that they make for you.

What do I do if haven’t talked to any distributors or literally anyone, no account, no music online, no nothing and I’m not willing to spend the money to talk to distributors

[@JaceyFlames]

Unfortunately, you have to go through a distributor to release your music on any mainstreaming platform. You can always just release it on KZbin or SoundCloud, but you have to go through a distributor to release it elsewhere like Spotify, or Apple Music, etc.

So would it be safe to say once I follow these steps get a distributor and then upload my music I’m a independent artist and spotify doesn’t pay but in my opinion it’s a good platform for exposure

[@JaceyFlames]

Depends on how many streams you get. I have another video talking about what you would get for each stream in 2023.

Is it necessary to have a distributor. Can I just creat a profile like you did in this vid and upload different music on it?

No. You have to use a distributor because there is no other way for you to upload music onto these platforms. This video was showing you that.
