If you're an artist who has released music on Spotify, claiming your artist profile is one of the most important steps to establish your digital presence. It not only gives you access to listener stats but also allows you to personalize your profile with a bio, photos, social links, and more.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you claim your Spotify artist profile:
✅ Step 1: Make Sure Your Music is Live on Spotify
Before you can claim your artist profile, your music must be already available on Spotify. If you’ve just released a song through a distributor like One Music Records or any other, wait until the release is live.
🖥️ Step 2: Visit Spotify for Artists
Click on “Get Access” to begin the claiming process.
👤 Step 3: Log in or Sign Up
You’ll need a Spotify account to continue – this can be your personal Spotify account (not necessarily the artist profile itself).
Log in using your existing Spotify account, or
Sign up if you don’t have one.
🔎 Step 4: Find Your Artist Profile
Spotify will ask you to search for your artist name. Enter the name exactly as it appears on Spotify. Once found, select your profile.
📧 Step 5: Verify Your Identity
You’ll need to verify your connection to the artist profile. Here are some ways to do that:
Log in through your distributor’s dashboard (some like One Music Records support auto-verification).
Provide your official social media links (like Instagram or Twitter).
Add your official website (if available).
Mention your label or distributor details, if requested.
📲 Step 6: Wait for Approval
Spotify usually takes a few hours to 2-3 days to verify and approve your request. Once approved, you’ll get full access to your Spotify for Artists dashboard.
🎨 What Can You Do After Claiming Your Profile?
Once your claim is successful, you can:
Add/update your artist bio
Upload profile photos and header images
Pin a featured track or playlist
View real-time streaming stats
Access audience insights like age, gender, country
Submit upcoming releases for editorial playlist consideration
⚠️ Bonus Tips:
Always use real artist information to avoid delays in verification.
Ensure your social media handles match your artist name where possible.
Keep your profile active and updated to grow your fanbase.
